No it is not possible to delete that account. (As far as I know) but there
are times when the account has been disabled thru a Policy (that is how I
disable it) and that program has not worked, I know it doesn't make a lot of
sense because why is the policy being enforced if it will not connect to the
domain but guess what sometimes it is like that, and if everything always
worked the way it was supposed to well then we wouldn't be needed now would
we?

Surely it's not possible to delete the administrator account?

You might be able to disable it, but IIRC, you can reset the password
and unlock/re-enable to account using the infamous bootdisk at:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Shouldn't need to re-image.
