I have erased the administrator account and the guest account on my kids computer. I went to erase all the info pertaining to my folders and login as well as my wifes and deleted the admin account. Basically nothing can be done right now to fix this. I tried to re install xp pro and I says I do not have permission for this task, contact your system admin. Is there a way to fix this?

You cannot delete the Administrator account. Try booting into Safe Mode and logging in as Administrator with no password, or with a password if you know what it is. If that doesn't work, Google 'john the ripper', download and run it, following instructions carefully, you can change the Administrator password so you can have full access to the PC again.
