lost user account on Welcome screen

[Scott Maurer]

I added a new user account (administrator was selected by
mistake) and now the old "Administrator" user account
does not show up as an option on the "Welcome" screen.

Also, unable to delete the new user account or change
it's user type.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Hi Scott,

Don't worry. This is by design.

The default Administrator account is for emergency use only. As soon as a
new account with Administrator privileges is created the default one is made
hidden.

To login as default admin press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to show the normal logon
dialog and enter username/password.

If you "really" want to have the default Administrator account shown on
logon screen:
