I accidentally deleted my name from the Administrators group and now I can only log on as a guest and I was the only admin. How do I get back in as an admin?

Do you remember the administrator account password? Try logging in as administrator with no password.

Assuming you didn't configure (and forget) a password for the default administrator account and you didn't disable the account it should be a blank password. Otherwise linux boot disk.
Good luck.
