follow the last lot of advice to sign in to the
administators account.
go to user management in the control panel.
i believe (but dont quote me), you can simply change the
admin and limited accounts round (and all the data that
pertains to them) by first opening your second
or "limited" account and assigning it as an admin
account. Dont forget to password protect this account!
then, go to your old admin account (the one you logged in
with) and make it limited.
Sign in with this account from now on!
Hope this helps
