Sounds Like you setup your account when there was already an admin setup and all you want to do is make the user id you setup capable of admin rights. 2 ways you can do this
1) log-in under the admin and go to the control panel, select users and change the settings for the user id you setup
2) while the computer is booting up keep hitting the f8 key until you see the screen to boot in safe mode or normal and select safe mode with networking. Then you'll see the admin log-in and any other log-in that has admin rights. (Note:the display settings will be way off but don't worry about that.) click on the admin log-in (as long as its XP home it shouldn't have a password in safe mode) then go to users and select to delete the password from the accounts that show up. Reboot and away you go.

Ask the administrator of the computer to install these for you.
Its protected for a reason.
