Have you got a system restore point before you disabled the admin, that might work?
i think ur screwed unless theres a linux prog to activate admin accounts.
When your logon screen displays a list of users and your administrator account is not listed, hit ctrl+alt+delete twice and it will show the administrator account.
this will show the built in admin account.
