Default Administrator account gone. Help!

I created new accounts on my computer, and now the
administrator account, along with all my documents and
settings, is no longer accessable. How do I get it back?

Evan;
The Administrator account is automatically hidden when another account
is created.
Reboot, tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu, select Administrator.

Create a new account and copy the data to the new account:
