Have no idea why they were changed to guest acounts either - but your tip
(Kelly) that changing another account to admin hides the system admin
account made me think - maybe they weren't showing because I tried to chg
them both to admin accounts and they confused the system? and hid each other
somehow?
So working with that thought (right or wrong) I went back into
userpasswords2 and changed them both to standard user accounts , logged out,
and whtdayaknow, they re-appeared.

So now I'm back were I started, everythings fixed, I'm good to go, and I
learned a whole bunch along the way.

Everyone who piped in to help - Thanks
