Paul;
The Administrator account is hidden once another account is created.
To access:
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.
Select Administrator.

You can copy the data from Administrator to a new account:

You can also hit CTRL-ALT-DEL *twice* at the Welcome screen (if you use the
Welcome screen) and then manually type the name 'administrator' and the
appropriate password...

You need to know the password.

Paul: you said you were using this account before it disappeared right?
The password is the same. Try leaving it blank-- there's a good chance that
there is no password on that account after all.
