Default Administrator account problems

A member of my family set up an administrative account
as a joke. I got on it later, changed my account to an
administrative account, and deleted the new account(since
it was useless). After I did this, I changed my account
back to a "limited" user account. When I logged out, the
computer had made an administrative account
automatically. None of our passwords work (I didn't have
one on my account) and just pressing enter doesn't work.
Many of our programs are restricted. Is there any way to
get on the administrator account or delete it from
a "limited" account or will I just have to to reinstall XP
Professional?
