HELP!
We renamed a User Account and changed the password.
The user account had admin rights.
Even though we had been told by 'experts' that simply changing the account
name and password would not affect anything under that account, it appears it
did. We have lost all data - cannot access any documents that had been in
that user's My Documents folder, among other things.
We tried changing the user name and password back to the original ones, but
it didn't work. It appears that all data is lost.
Can anyone help????

Hi,.
I am using XP SP2 with the latest updates. This all started when I renamed
the admin name, and also changed it to the setting to use the Welcome Screen
only. Oops: Now when I reboot there is no user to the right of "to begin,
click your user name". It is blank.
I cannot start in safe mode because the reboot stops at my video card
driver. (bug)
I can successfully boot with the Windows XP CD from an XP Pro laptop I have.
I enter into the Windows XP Recovery Console. It asks me for the admin pw and
it accepts it and returns C:/WINDOWS>
Now I have no idea what to do to regain access to my XP admin rights. Please
help!
TIA! Leafgreen
