I don't know what happened, I had been using only the
main admin account - all my files were stored in that
accout & all my settings. I could not add my own
account, so had been using that default "Administrator"
account. Today, I added auser account for my brother to
play Halo. It would not let him have a user account,
saying that there had to be at least one admin account.
So I made him an admin. Then I created an account for
myself (not sure why it let me this time) - & made that
an admin account & changed his back to limited. When we
rebooted the computer to start up the game, the main
admin account was GONE!!! This means I can't access any
of my files - I don't know where they've gone.

The admin account stll shows up in Computer Management,
but I can not figure out a way to log into that account,
as it no longer shows in the welcome window. I am
starting to get very nwevous. Can anyone help?
 
Bridgette;
The Admin account is still there.
It becomes hidden once another account is created.

Copy the data to your new account:

To access the default Administrator:
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Safe Mode" at the menu.
You can now access Administrator.
