    Hi,

    I have an interesting problem. My computer locked up last night, so instead of restarting I just shut it off, as I was heading to bed. Fun, fun. I get up this morning, and I find I'm logged into my other account, which although it has "administative" powers, it's not my main account; the default "admininistator" account.

    Now, all my admin settings are on the computer, I just can't access them; because the profile still exists in Documents and Settings. I tried doing a restore to last night - nothing. Could this be a problem with Windows 64-bit? Surely I must be able to restore a lost account.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.
