BIG BIG BIG PROBLEM



(I'll try to speak my best English.. please try to understand me :-) )

that's what:
I simply have no experience on Active Directory, but I had to do what
I'm going to tell you I did..
I had a small net with a win 2000 domain controller and I had to
migrate the net to win 2003, bought and installed in another machine,
then joined in win 2000 domain as simple member.

Migrating the AD in the same domain from win 2000 to win 2003 failed
because of problems while running forestprep and domainprep, reason
why we decided to install a new domain on win 2003.

dcpromo ran perfectly, but after reboot I cannot access any more..

looking for what happened, it seems win 2003 hadn't any local account,
neither administrator (It only accepts Recovery Administrator user!)
so right now I cannot access to the OS.
Login in on the "Disaster" Recovery console, I cannot access AD server
and so I cannot resolve this HUGE problem creating any account.
Anybody knows how to create a user who can log on the new domain?
what other solution do I have?
Please help me..
