Default Computer Administrator

I created separate user accounts for my girlfriend and
her son. Now I can no longer access my own administrator
account or
settings (Including Outlook Express, address book,
contacts, etc.) I
attempted to restore to an ealier setting and it said that
the system
was unable to restore. How do I return to my old settings?
The other
user accounts are not necessary and could be deleted..

Makes me think you used the default admin account as your own and when =
you created the 2 new accounts the default went to sleep
delete the 2 new accounts and see if it comes back

It will not allow me to delete both of them. I can only
access mine through the safe mode. Can I access my files
and settings another way, and move them off of the default?
