Default How to delete new computer administrative account

I created a new account that I couldn't setup as
limited. I originally had used and customized the
adminiastrative user account. Now it does not show at
welcome screen and I can find the way to delete the new
account and go back to using the Adminstrator account
again in normal mode

Any help appreciated

Default How to delete new computer administrative account

For XP Pro: Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen, with no =
users logged on. You'll get the old Win2K style logon. Enter =
Administrator and any password for that account.

For XP Home: You must boot the computer to Safe Mode. The built in =
Administrator account will appear on the Welcome Screen.
