With XP Home, I have managed somehow to have only 1 account w/o Administrator rights. How can I add new account?
Thanks for any assistance.
 
I believe this works:

reboot and go into safe mode (press F8 during the reboot), login as administrator (if you haven't set a password, then it's blank). From there you should be able to either add new users and/or change the one user to administrator.
