How do I reconnect my computers main idenitity, once it has been
accidentally disconnected? I have several users set up with 2 system
administrators and someone who remains anonymous disconnected the main
identity. Now I can't get back to make system changes. Any help on
this will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what you mean by "disconnected the main identity". If you
mean that someone disabled the built-in Administrator account:

If you have disabled the built-in Administrator account, booting into
Safe Mode will automatically enable it again (temporarily, for that
Safe Mode session).

Boot into Safe Mode (tap F8 repeatedly as the computer is starting). If
no user logon appears in Safe Mode where you can type in the user
account name "Administrator" (or click on it), press Ctrl+Alt+Del
twice.

If this isn't what you mean, then please post back *after* reading the
information at this link which will tell you what details to include in
your next post:
