Upg to XP from 2K - Cannot find Adminstrator account

[Guest]

I upgraded from W2K SP4 to XP Pro. I had one Administrator profile and 3 user profiles on 2K, all transferred to XP fine. Once I created a new Administrative user on XP though, my original administrator account disappeared from the Welcome screen and User Accounts panel. How do I log on into the original account now? It has all my old email (Outlook Express), settings, etc., that all worked fine until I created the new Administrator account.

Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome screen, with no user's logged on. You'll get the old Win2K style logon dialog.

To enable the Administrator account on the new Windows XP logon screen, visit my web site, www.dougknox.com and go to the Windows XP section. Follow the link for Enable Administrator Account ...... This small VB Script will make the registry change necessary for the Administrator account to be available on the Welcome Screen.
