    their is one administrator account hidden, until you activate it.

    You can use a password reset disk, if you can write/burn CD's.

    You need a

    -CD Burner

    -1 blank CD

    -MagicISO Trial

    You download from this site

    http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

    All the way on the bottom, it says download. Select the first .zip download.

    Download that

    Then you have a .iso file.

    You need to open that with MagicISO and burn that to a CD

    Then shut off the computer, put in the CD right away! and wait for the CD to boot up.

    Then you can actually select your account and make it Administrator, right from the CD.

    It's actually difficult because requires a few steps like typing code, and selecting what you want to do.

    Then you get to the point where you can do anything

    Type your username

    Press a number - the one that upgrades your account

    It's difficult to explain.

    Read that website

    All the other answers are wrong because a standard account cannot modify or add an account. You must be administrator to do that!

    If you want, you can email me or use Yahoo! Answers profile to message me. I can remotely help you, just download and execute this file. No installing needed. But! MagicISO may require to be installed.
