User Accounts

[Ian Douglas]

Am Running windows XP Home. Have altered user accounts so
that I can open in "limited Account".

When I Try to revert to Administrator, I renamed it "admin" using
START - etc. There is no "Log off Windows" option.

Have tried "Ctrl Alt Delete" and Log off to no effect, am only shown
a "shutdown" option.

Have tried opening in Safe Mode then in Control Panel am still
only offered the "Limited Account" and am refused access to
"Restore"

Is it possible to change User Account Options?? i.e.: find the
Administrator Account ??
