Hi, I?m the new guy and I need help :)

My built-in admin account (SBS 2003) is damaged. My problem is described more or less accurately in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842469/en-us , but the solution isn?t working for me.
Now, the serious part of the problem is that a 3rd party app. screwed up my Sharepoint, i have to un- and reinstall most components related to it. But, the SBS 2003 setup crashes at "component 19 of 40",so I can?t. And the setup requires the built-in admin to run, so I?m stuck.

All help (and any reasonable amount of sarcasm :D) would be deeply appreciated.

No, that wouldn?t be a problem. When i logon with my normal (not built-in) admin account and hit setup, it completes the whole loading procedure and blocks me only at the end : "You need to be logged in with the built-in admin to procede " (or something similar).

Ok, I?m buffled. I copied the admin profile folder to a new folder (via Control Panel->System->Advanced), deleted the old one and now it works just fine...
