Hi Norman,

Just like all the other accounts also administrator account should be
migrated. Since you were able to logon with this account, it must exist
somewhere.

Can you in Active Directory users and computer right click on your domain
name and click Find. Enter Administrator and click OK. Is administrator
account listed?

By default Administrator account should be transferred to Users container.
