account disappeard!

[B]

Help!

I turned off the computer, and after restarting it my
(administrator) account did not come up. Two others
(guest ones) did. How is this possible? Can I
retrieve "my documents", the emails in Outlook, etc??

I hope someone can guide me!

No idea what "did not come up" means but the profile may be somehow corrupt.
Use the steps in this article to replace the local administrator profile.

What do you mean by *did not come up*. Have you tried logging on by
explicitly providing username and password.

If the account is deleted its profile might be there at :
x:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\

You can copy the desired folders to the new profile.
