Sign in

When I turn my computer on, I get the message password or user name do not match. So, click the arrow to bring up accounts. I get Admin account and user account. There is also a second admin account. What is the story with that? Can be removed?

When I log out of admin I then only get admin and user account to sign in. Very odd.

your probably showing the hidden admin account, try disabling it.

Ok, tried that and now I have no administrator sign on at all. Suggestions on getting that back?

Then you have deleted your user admin account. try booting off O/S disk into advanced recovery for restore options, or Reinstall Vista.

I did not have any advanced restore recovery offered on my disc. I had to do an entire re-install of Windows. No big deal. The computer was only 2 weeks old so I did not lose anything but time. I only see the admin account and the user account now. That was the hard way to get rid of two admin accounts.
