Couple of months ago I had to leave my pc with sby else, so wanted to SECURE my administrator account with a PASSWORD and wanted to create an open "GUEST" account.
I don't remember exactly what I did back then, but some way or other I gave that guest account a password secured administrator STATUS ánd created a SECOND guest account without password.
Problem is that now I lost my original Admin-account. Just don't get the option to choose it. It's like it doesn't exist anymore. Yet I sure as *censored* did not remove it myself. Did not remove my personal files underneath it, but can't view them in the normal "verkenner" (windows mapping system).

I'm using an XP SP2 with 248MB RAM
ACPI Uniprocessor PC
??

More info needed?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
 Please try the below mentioned steps:

1). Try to boot your machine in safe mode by following below steps:
                   a). Turn on your machine and keep on pressing F8 key from the keyboad.
                   b). Select the "Safe Mode with Networking" under boot option screen.
2). Type any of default passwords you had earlier (if asked).

3). Now you are logged as Admin, change the account password or account previliges you want to chage.

Good luck.Can you log in as the guest/admin / go to Users / change the administrator password to one you'll remember?
