Most photo editing programs should fix this. In Photoshop, try auto-levels. Regardless of program, you need to find the brightness and contrast adjustment tools...it should be one of the most basic tools in their set.
There's only so much you can bring back...and if the picture is severely underexposed, you will get a lot of 'noise' when the picture is corrected. If your program has a noise remover, use it. Otherwise, you could look into programs like www.neatimage.com

No matter what program you use, you will need to go into the menu and find the adjustments for light and contrast. Lighten it until you get it to where you can see your subject okay, then see if adjusting the contrast brings it out a bit more. Your pictures might be too dark for anything to show up, though, so it might not work. Try re-taking the pictures, if you can, using your flash or a tripod with a longer shutter speed.
I use Photoshop Elements, so I could talk you through using that program, and you can download a free trial of it from adobe.com.

I assume the photo in question is digital and you were using a point and shoot digicam.
In any program, you will have to adjust the brightness and contrast. The bad news is, the noise and underexposure will still look awful and obscure whatever detail there may be. I doubt you will be able to get a usable print no matter what software you use, but good luck!

I've never used Paint Shop Pro, but I have a feeling it should have fixed the problem. If you have photoshop, you could use the light levels command, which you can get to by clicking Ctrl+ L and then dragging the right slider to the left.
If you don't, you could try downloading Picasa, which is a decent and fairly easy to use program.

if the photo is black you can't recover much of it. it will still be dark or most parts will be lost.
