user account question after Windows XP Home reinstall repair

Computer problem arose where computer would boot and after Windows logo
screen would restart/reboot. This was a non-stop loop... performed a Windows
XP repair and now when computer boots, I only show two limited user accounts
(our kids names) and not the account named "owner" which I regularly login
with and which has adminstrator rights/

Booting to safe mode shows accounts of Adminstrator and Owner but when
rebooting in normal mode, the Owner account I need does not show.

How to recover my Owner account and make it the default to login when
booting in regular mode?
