adminstrator accounts

my son was setting a user account for himself, and he deleted my adminstrator
profile by accident. I went into his profile, and made him a limited user,
and then created a new one for myself but as adminstrator. But I lost every
file or music library that i had saved. Is there anyway to recover all the
files and music that was saved under the older adminstrator profile?

Certainly. You will find the files and folders which belong to your old
account in \Documents & Settings\<old account name>. You will find your
current files and folders in \Documents & Settings\<new account name>.
Once located, you should take ownershipt of the folders and files as
described in the Help & Support article "How to take ownership of files and
folders".
You then move what you want into your current folder structure.
