I'm guessing that you're running XP Professional. As you've discovered, as soon
as you create an admin level user account, the built-in Administrator account
goes into hiding. To log on to this account, do the following.
At the Welcome screen, hit the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys twice. This should bring
up the Log On to Windows dialog. Enter Administrator in the User name box and
the appropriate password.
Take a look at these articles if you want to have the Administrator account
displayed on the Welcome screen.

Keep in mind that the Administrator account should be reserved for emergencies.
Good luck
