Can't login as Domain Admin, so locked out of WinXP machine

I'm having a rather puzzling problem.

I built a Debian server, all running Samba 3, and configured it to be the PDC. I managed to get a Windows XP box to join the new domain, but, someone failed to mention that the WindowsXP machine had a full security log, so will not allow anyone other than an admin to login.

And I, for the life of me, can't figure out how to add a user as a 'Domain Admin' and be able to login to that machine to clear that log file.

Help? (It's my bosses machine!) :| :| :|
