In order to copy a profile you must be logged in as a
different account, if you want to copy the fred account
you have to be logged in as admin, if you want to copy the
admin account you have to be logged in as fred as long as
fred is part of admin. When you login as guest it should
create the profile if not change guest to admin, login
then change back to limited but it sounds like you've
changed something else.
