I tried to follow this procedure:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5078719_bloc...xcept-one.html I have been using my default admin account for ages on this Windows XP machine.
The system prompted me to create a Computer Admin account and then allowed me to set up a limited account.
Now my default admin account has disappeared. It has taken many things I need with it, including my Photoshop actions and access to some software and all of my saved passwords in FireFox and IE.
I have tried a system restore to no avail. Suggestions on how to get my default admin user back would be much appreciated. That user was passworded and the ones currently appearing are not and I don't really even get how, with any security features at all, it would be possible to set up a new admin account and delete the old one, thus disabling password access on a computer.
