hi. I'm a complete computer dud, Yesterday I created a new user account
for my 10 year old son I made it a limited account so he could not
download any bad viruses ext. After logging out and back on the admin
account on the start up was goners. I have looked at a few similar
probs on Google and so far have found admin by tapping f8 at start up
but then can only use admin access in safe mode. Our lap top( HP
running winxp home) is not that long a member of the family so we are
prepared to start from scratch and load all our photos ext back again.
So if anyone can help with either resetting the hole thing back to
scratch or where do i go from safe mode to get admin back to start log
on



Thank you so much John, i'v just tried what you said and was
successful, I'm only starting out the computer world and I'm amazed at
some of the things I have been able to do, finding you for example, Any
way if I new how I'd like to be able to find help like you in the
future. Thanks mate.......Boney
