Hey I'm on Windows XP home and whenever i try to use the local users and groups part of Computer Management it says "You cannot use this on winxp home blah blah blah...." Is there anyway I can get it to work cos I could really do with it - the most annoying thing is the admins account is always disabled frown

Does this work for you:
Start -> Run:
control userpasswords2

To use the Administrator account, you'll need to boot into Safe Mode.
