Two things - what you removed was a USER account with administrator
rights. You CANNOT remove the in-built Administrator account.
Secondly, if you did not save the data files (I believe there is a
prompt to do this when deleting an account?) then unless you have access
to file recovery software, I think you will find that they are gone.

To log into the built-in Administrator account, in Home Edition boot
into Safe Mode. In Pro, at the welcome screen, press Ctl-Alt-Del twice.

If your copy of XP was pre-installed, then it is 99.99% probable that
the Administrator Password is blank.
