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. |
