Logging in as adminstrator

I have a dimension 4500s with windows XP. Somehow I changed my log in from adminstrator account to a guest account. This will not allow me to use several features such as systems restore. I have used run and typed in "control userpasswords2" and it brings up a user account box with user name "adminstrator" and ask for a password. When I go to the control panel and open user accounts it just shows the guest account. How do I find out what the password is that I assume was orginially assigned by Dell

The default password is null (blank.) Just press enter. But to set up your acct again, boot to Safe Mode and sign in as Admininstrator and create your acct with full administrator rights.

thank you Mary G, your solution allowed me to go to system restore, which corrected the problem
