Administrator Questions

I recently installed a new motherboard. After loading Windows XP Pro I began
installing software and transfering data to a new hard drive. I did not set
up a user account before installing the software and moving the data. When I
set up the first user account it forced me to make it an administrator
account. After logging in to the new account I couldn't access the software
and data that I had loaded under the Administrator account and once adding
the new user that administrator account disappears. How can I retreive the
data from the master administrator account?
 
At the logon screen type CTRL-ALT-DELETE twice.
This brings up the "old" style logon box. Here type as
logon name "administrator" and type the passwrod for this
account, then OK.
Now you're in with the "master" admin account.
Copy the software shortcuts to your new user profiles.
Since both are administrators, you shouldn't have any
problems running your software.
Hope it helps
