Cannot Access the Administrator Account

We have Windows 7 pro machines on a Server 2008 domain. I can't logon to a machine because the trust relationship with the domain has been lost. I have tried to remove the machine from the domain and then add it back, but the local administrators account
is disabled. None of the local accounts on the machine have administrative rights so I'm unable to do this as it says access is denied. I've tried all the various fixes, ie run mmc and enable administrators account, boot into safe mode etc but none work. Is
there a way to resolve this without reloading the machine with W7?

Hi,
Please refer to following guide to enable built-in administrator account in WinRE. You need a installation media to start Windows into WinRE:
Windows 7: Built-in Administrator - Enable from WinRE

Then try to exit the domain.
