do, it said that I needed to create another administrator account. s
I did... Now the original administrator account is not there, (did no
delete it) I did find the folder and it said that the access wa
denied. how do I restore this user. This has all of my documents o
in it. thank

The built-in Administrator Account log-in is automatically hidden when you
create a second account with Admin rights.
To access it, (and please note that you should NOT use the built-in
Administrator account for day-to-day use), in Home Edition boot into Safe
Mode. In Pro, at the Welcome Screen, press Ctl-Alt-Del twice, when a W2K
style log-in box will appear. Type in "Administrator" (without the quotes)
in the Username. In either case, leave the password field blank unless you
know otherwise.
