Thanks everyone, It's all working again.
Single user mode did the trick. Though I had to look up how to us VIM ;-)

Muz,
Have you tried booting Ubuntu up in single user mode and see if you can
login?
Worst case scenario, boot the PC using any Linux live CD, then chroot to the
installed root partition on your HDD, and give the remaining user sudo
priviledges.
or if your using grub edit the boot line and append init=/bin/bash and
then do your stuff. You will probably need to mount -o remount,rw / to
get write access to the partition

Bill

G'day all,
Late last night, with a foggy head, I deleted two user accounts from my
machine, one having full admin privilages, using the GUI tools. Know,
sudo doesn't accept my password in my only remaining account, so I'm
very lost as to how to fix this.
Any assistance and advice on fixing this will be greatly appreciated?
Thanks,
Muz.
