big problem with xp user account!

[Guest]

Yesterday, i created a new user account on my PC, which was set with
administrator privelages, meaning there was two accounts set up as admin. i
logged out that aaccount to log into the new one, and the original user
account seems to have disappeared.

I definately didn't delete it, and it never asked me for a password to
change or modify the original admin account.

can anyone help me on how to retrieve it? I really need it as it contains
imprtant business e-mails etc!

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi

Does the Account show up via Control Panel>User Accounts?

No it doesn't. I think i've managed to sort it though - the account is still
there under computer management (right click on My Computer), so i know it's
not been deleted - i just need to work out why it's not appering on the login
screen!

Thanks,
Dan Appleby.

Hi

It should under User Accounts. Also it should be listed in Windows Explorer
under Documents and Settings\<Name Of Account>

Were you using the original administrator account? If so try pressing
CTRL-ALT-DEL at the Welcome screen and then logging in as administrator.
