Hi, I have a problem. I usually logon to my computer using administrator account. I foolishly tried to delete all user accounts in my computer to see how it goes, including administrator account. However, I forgot to backup (I'm not sure how to do it anyway). Does anyone knows how to restore (or created) a new account, instead of fresh install Windows 2000 again? And how to backup the user account? Also, how to set my computer to automatically logon by using a specific user account?

Hi there,
Try this link to retrieve your admin account This link is for the backing up users
To set the user to automatically log on to windows, go to the registry (start\run\regedit) (back it up first - registry\export registry)
At the registry editor, go to the following My computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\microsoft\windowsnt\current version\winlogon
At the right panel, go to default user name and change it to the desired user name. Hope this helps
