Hi Loren,

When you create any other user account the built in "Administrator" account does not show in the
User Accounts applet or the welcome screen anymore. This feature is by design. However you can
download TweakUI and navigate to the Logon section and put a check next to the 'Show administrator
..." TweakUI can be downloaded from :
