    Accidentally created a new Administrator?

    I've been fucking around my main PC again and I don't know what I did but this happened. Another administrative account was created and XP uses that to log on. All my settings are gone. My regular account which is called XXXXX and is also an administrative account is there but XP uses the new one to log on. I tried to delete the new account which is called Administrator but I can't do it.
    I've dug around but can't really find what I'm looking for on this. Is it familiar to anyone?

    The account for which the AutoAdminLogon feature is set, is either deleted or does not exist, but the registry settings for the Autologon feature for that account are still in the registry. The symptoms occur whenever you delete an account for which the Autologon feature is set.

    The registry and its settings are:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    DefaultDomainName (REG_SZ) : <Computer name>
    DefaultUserName (REG_SZ): <User name (admin)>
    DefaultPassword (REG_SZ): <Password>
    AutoAdminLogon (REG_SZ): 1
    AutoLogonCount (REG_DWORD) : any value greater than one (1)

    you could get TweakUI and just change the
    auto log on back to your prefered user

    you might be able to delete the new admin account from
