Default Account Lost

I have created a new account using Windows XP, and had
important info on another account. How can I get back the
first account? Thanks.

If the account is deleted you can't recreate the account. However, your
files are most likely still there. Look in c:\documents and settings\first
account name\*

Default Account Lost

If the old account is still there but you just can't access the files
becaus you get an access denied message, you need to take ownership of
the files:
