user name deleted

I have work computer at home. Son deleted the user account, yet when I start
up computer, it still asks for that users password. I can't enter password
as the user name is no longer on there. I can not get windows to open up.
How can I bypass this, or go into system restore without password?

Log on as administrator
and recreate a user account.

If you did not specifically assign an administrative password when you
installed XP...
by default there is no password...type in administrator
then hit <enter>
