I have 2 other earlier posts that explain how I got to this point : (subject
lines)
"Locked out of my own computer by stupidity! Help?"
&
"3rd Party software to change account type? (rather than just
password)"
I now have a newly activated Admin acct. , but the 2 accounts that were
inexplicably changed to Guest (I explain how this happened in those other
posts, your guess is probably better than mine as to why it happened) are
still on my machine, are still Guest accounts, and I still don't have access
to them from my admin account and they still don't show up on my login
screen.
