My son went in safe mode and changed my administrative account to a limited
account. I don't know the safe mode password so I can go in and stop this,
because I have this limited account. Help I don't know what to do.

Talk to your son and get the password.

You need to boot into Safe Mode as an administrator account to change this
.... .Oh, yeah, and fire your son :) ... There always MUST be at least one
Administrative level account on a PC at all times ... It is impossible to
NOT have an admin-level account (under normal circumstances) ...

I would certainly "handle" this problem with your son in a forceful manner.

If you knew as much as you thought you know,
You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
