How to add an Admin user

Hi

I had accidentally deleted the sole Admin user for my db.

ie. My db had a single admin user 'kanagab'. somehow, I had deleted the user 'kanagab' (Tools->Security->User and Group Accounts->select'kanagab' from the drop down and click 'Delete' button)

There is no other user belonging to 'Admins' group

This means, I was able to delete an user belonging to 'Admins' group (kanagab) when I had logged in with the same user id (kanagab)

ie. I was able to delete my own ID
(This is really weird!)

Can someone help me to add an Admin user to my db now as I cannot run anything in my db as there is no user with 'Admin' privileges

Thanks
Babu

Have you tried to export all your tables, forms, etc to a brand new access database. There may be some hack you can download on the internet to restore the admin, but I can't think of a way.
