Default Logging on under Administrator


When I created another user, I was then unable to log on
under Administrator. The help instructions led me in
circles... All I want is to be able to access my
Adminstrator account from the Welcome screen. Any
suggestions...?

As an aside to Carey's reply - do NOT use the built-in administrator account
for day to day use - create another user and give it Admin rights. Keep the
built-in administrator account for emergencies, such as when you can't
access your user account, or your password has expired and things like that.
