XP Accounts

I made another administrator account and named it something else. Now i can't get into my original administrator account through the fast user switching mode and welcome screen that xp has. I can only get into it through the old win 2000 logon screen. Is there any way to fix this and maybe delete the new admin account?

The only way to get the original Admin account is through safe mode or when there are no other accounts besides guest. If you delete the other account you created it will show again on the Welcome Screen.

Log in as Administrator using the Win2k logon. Go to Start>Control Panel>User Accounts. Select the Account you want to delete. It should then give you an option to delete it. Dont boot into Safe Mode to do this. Boot Normally.
