It sounds like you 1) have XP Pro; 2) were using the built-in Administrator account for your daily work; 3) have now created a second user account with administrative privileges. If this is correct, the built-in Administrator account is hidden by design when you create a second user account with administrative privileges.
If my assumption is correct, you can still log into the built-in Administrator account by doing Ctrl-Alt-Del at the Welcome Screen. This will get you the classic logon box. Enter "Administrator" for the user name (without the quotes of course) and your password.
If this is *not* your situation, then please post back with a better description of your system. You may wish to refer to this link to see what details to include in a newsgroup post in order to get focused help.
