Open the "User Accounts" control panel. It will list the users and their account status.

The administrator account is accessible only through safe mode.
Shut your computer down, then when you restart it tap the F8 key, (I said tap it not beat it to death). When you get the black screen with white letters, scroll with your arrow keys to the top one, (it should say safe mode). When it asks you to login use administrator with no password. Once you're logged in, click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Users. Click on your own username and change the user type to administrator. You will then have administrator privelege on your computer. (The administrator login is a built in account so you can't change it, just remember you can use it to change your user settings).
Good Luck
