Lost admin rights XP Home
I had one person with admin rights and one with limited, Gave the limited person admin rights then deleted the other. Problem is when I rebooted the person with limited right still had the limited rights and the person with Admin right is gone. So can’t do a system restore or much of anything I keep getting the error message you do not have sufficient security rights. I have tried booting into safe mode and running control users passwords2
I get the admin thing there wanting a password, which I never assigned. Tried it with and without a password. Get the message not sufficient security rights.
Any help would be much appreciated

"Problem is when I rebooted the person with limited right still had the limited rights and the person with Admin right is gone. " And you were surprised by that? You removed the account, so it stands to reason you can't login with that one. :)

You can still log into the machine. Boot to Safe Mode and you can login with the default Administrator account and password.
