I did the same thing so I also would like the answer to your question, XP
user. The files have not been deleted but the Administrator login is no
longer available.

Most reputable and knowledgable computer repair shops can reset the NT/2K/XP
administrator password to a blank one. And most do (or should) require
picture ID to be recorded along with the unit serial number onto the receipt
for services performed, just in case the unit is stolen instead of the
password having been "forgotten". There are a few computers (IBM in
particular, but more are starting to do it too) that use a HDD password in
addition to the NT/2K/XP password system, and that system uses a ROM chip
that must be replaced by (only) the manufacture if the password is, uh,
forgotten.
