Vista Ultimate x64 User Account Problem

Help..My Laptop's system board crashed recently and I sent it in to be repaired (under warranty). When it was returned, the PC was wiped clean (which I expected so I made backups). Once I started the PC there was an admin ID called test there, which I did not expect to see as I thought it would have been returned like it was fresh out of the box and I would have to set it up again. I changed the name in User accounts to my name and attempted to restore the back up. It told me that it could not find the user account but I selected to go forward anyway (my bad). The problem, now is that if I open the file explorer and click on users under the c: drive I see the folder called "test" which is linked to my user ID (the main admin account) but I also see my old account folder that has all my backedup information in it that I want to be the main admin acct. If I go into User accounts from the Control Panel, there is only one admin account which is the new one and not the restored one.

How can I make the restore ID the main ID and delte the new one with out having to run my recovery CDs to and having to do everything over again?
