How can I re-create my Adminstrator account?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Somehow??? I lost my password for my administrator account, but managed to get back into windows by a username account. Now I have lost some settings etc and I need to be an Adminitsrator to create accounts???

Is there any way round this?
Thanks
