Hey fellas,
A mate of mine has just rung me telling me the following:

-He uses the classic login interface
-He created a guest account with a password whilst in theadministrator account
-Restarted the machine
-In the name box he deleted the admin account name the guest username
-Logged in, browsed the internet
-Turned the machine off
-Turned the machine off and the Administrator account no longer existed

The administrator account isn't present in the normal login, or during safemode. And typing his administrator account name and password in the classic mode box, all to no avail.

So, any idea what's happened? Because the other account has no admin rights he's pretty fubared at the mo.

Machine is running XP Pro.

Sorted.

Got him to do net user in command prompt.

Numpty was typing his admin name account wrong (which was of course hidden once it wasn't the only account).
