Login with the Default Administrator Account and then change the kids' user privilegs to user instead of Admin

Theres another way, set Auto login with a user privilage account, if you need to do anything log out and login to admin account :)

I've had it happen to me, was my wife who deleted it, not my kids :(

I'm not sure I understand the question, vk. You say someone "deleted" your User Account? That is next to impossible to do, unless you have an Administrative priviledge, and you KNOW where to go to do this. Kids generally don't know where to look to accomplish this task. The Administrator account can't be deleted, so I assume it isn't the Administrator account that you need to recover. When you boot up, does it take you directly into the OS, or do you see a User Logon screen? You should have it set up so that all users need to log in every time. If you can get access to your PC at all, try this...when you get in, goto Start>>Settings>>Control Panel>>Users and Passwords and make sure the "Users must enter a User name and Password..." is checked off. Then log off, Start>>Shut Down>>Log Off. After you log off, enter your user name and password to the Administrator acount, and log back in. Then you can right click My Computer and select Manage, then Local Users And Groups, then Users to see if the account you thought was lost is still there. Right click the name if it is, and select Set Password. Set it to something easy and log out of the Administrator account. Then try to gain access to the "lost" account. Hope that helps.
