Wha?

I believe you need to explain what you expected a bit more.
The upgrade from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP Professional Edition
adds some features and abilities - but should levae everything completely
intact. Accounts, installed software, everything.

Why would you expect anything else from an "upgrade"?

That's completely different than what I think you were trying to say before.
You could have done this in XP Home.

Start button --> RUN --> control userpasswords2 --> OK
