    Why do you believe there are only those two accounts?
    Accounts can be renamed, so what you believe is the Administrator
    account may be just some old account with that name, and the real
    built-in admin account may now have a different name.
    If, when logged in, you enter at a cmd prompt
    net localgroup administrators
    you will get the list of all admin accounts.
