HELP with Administrator Acct.

[Joy]

Dear group,

I was trying to add a regular user account and
accidentally created a new administrator account (I know -
duh)... but my original administrator acct is now no
longer visible!!!

Can someone please tell me how I can get back to the
original administrator account? Otherwise - I've just
lost a ton of data.

Thanks!

The default Administrator account is hidden once another account is
created.
To access:
Windows XP Home:
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.

Windows XP Pro:
Ctrl/Alt/Del twice
Type "Administrator" in box.

Better to copy data to new profile:
