Admin Account Locked/Deleted

A work colleague has locked/deleted his admin account in error
I have followed the guide for recovery but nothing will work

Safe mode - system restore - repair console - NT offline recovery al
failed

Could I connect his drive to my computer and access the user account
to create a new user or promote an existing user to Admin

Or does anyone know another tried and tested way to recover or create
User Account with administrator privlages without having to re-instal
Windows

Thanks in advance - Lufcbo

Try to login in build-in administrator account and make diagnose
repair or create new admin account.If there is no any administrato
account build-in admin should appear in safe mode -if not you have t
enable build-in admin remotel

There are many various methods to do that

link :'What do I do: I can no longer log in or elevate to a
administrator account' (http://www.jimmah.com/vista/content.aspx?id=7

apart of above method alsoTools for reseting password also have optio
to enable/disable accounts (for built-in admin also) for exampl
'Offline NT Password & Registry Editor

Its not a work PC its for someone at work. I will not be seeing hi
until Monday so I don't know if this method works yet. I will actuall
be trying Opt3 from the link. As a footnote I have used the Offline N
and password recovery option in the past but it did not work on thi
occasion

Thanks for all the help and replie

All the bes
