My admin account has been deleted.
This was because I had to use the dell recovery after a problem after one of the updates provided by Ubuntu.
Now I only have the guest account.
How do I go about creating a admin account for my Ubuntu system?.

First add a user name through this command
adduser <username>
You can then add a user to the sudo group with with the command:
sudo adduser <username> sudo
Note that versions of Ubuntu until 11.10 will use admin as group instead of sudo
