XP user account, admin problem

[Trice]

Hey. This is kind of embarassing but yesterday i used the restore floppy disk to restore my computer, After this i created all 4 users of my family's accounts on the computer, and i renamed the "Owner" user to my account name. This morning i realised the operating system was still in a sort of factory mode. So when i "resealed" it the "owner" account which was my account name was not on the list of users. That was the only administrator account on there. Any idea how i can get my user back? I mean all the files of that account are still on the hard drive, just not listing my name.

Thanks

As you have found out, changing the name of a user account is just a cosmetic change. It doesn't affect the file structure.

To get all your settings and data into a user account with a name you prefer, follow the steps in the MS KB article, How to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile.

Even though the account you want to copy isn't corrupted, the steps are the same.
