Administrator user

[Geoff Sale]

I think I've done something which is supposed to be impossible,
according to the Help files.
I have changed the User1 account from Administrator to Limited, but the
new User2 account I thought I had created as Administrator cannot be
found anywhere, not on the Welcome/sign in screen, not in User Profiles,
nowhere.
Now, I'm stuck with User 1 without the authority to do anything I need
to keep this system running.
What are my options?
Thanks for any help,
Geoff
