A computer with Windows XP I use has no Administrator account. The only user account is 'limited', it has a password. Is there any way to get into Administrator? When the computer starts, there is no option to use Administrator.

If you have installed the OS on standalone machine then you do one thing. IF you have a domain then you join your system to the domain and after that you will get that option automaticallyl. Means, When you joine your system to the domain then it will ask you to restart the system after that it will take you to the login screen. Login as the Network Administrator of that particular domain in your computer and then go to My computer right click on that click on manage click on Local User Accounts Click on Groups Right Click on Administrator Option set the password for that system and add the user name which you were using previously to the administrator group.

If this is a standalone or workgroup system, If you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice, you will get a logon screen. This is where you can change the user name to administrator. But if you don't know the Admin password, this won't do you any good. You can try using a blank password.
