Hi everyone!
Yesterday I tried to create a new windows account and accidentally
made the new one the administrator. Now I can not access the previous
administrator account nor any of the files I had saved on the account!
Does anybody know how I can get the old administrator account back
along with all of its settings and files? Your help would be greatly
appreciated!! Thanks!

The original Administrator account is still there, when you create another
account with Administrator priviliges the original account is no longer
displayed.

To get into the original account if you are using XP Home restart in Safe
mode and login as Administrato, if you are usein XP Pro hit Ctrl-Alt-Delet
twice to get the login screen.

Thanks so much for your help! I restarted in safe mode and was able to
access the administrator account. I wasnt able to delete the account I
created or change it to a limited account. Is there any way I can do
this to make the administrator account with all of my files the
default account again and display it on the login page?
