Admin gone Vista Business

AAAGH! I switched computers at work - using Vista Business. I deleted the
admin account thinking I can add me in its place but the Advanced User
Accounts Control Panel keeps asking me for the Administrator name and
password. There is none. I tried entering my info but it doesn't like it or
something!!!
Now, I cannot do anything. OH PLEASE HELP ME !!

Hi Dj,

See if you can boot into Safe Mode and create a new Administrator account from with Safe Mode. If not, them temporarily enable the built-in Administrator account in Safe Mode to create a new Administratore account.

For Safe Mode:
Advanced Boot Options

For the built-in Administrator account:
Administrator Account
