Finding old administrator accounts

[Andy]

I was working on a machine where the user
used "Administrator" as their log on. I set up a new
account and it told me to set up an administrator
account. When I turned off the machine and relogged in
the administrator account was gone for log on purposes,
but the files are still on the disk.

Outlook and many other things look in the specific user to
find their stuff. How do I get those accounts under the
new administrative user? I found a lot of the files and
transferred them, but I can't get to his password
protected files, nor his e-mail and groups.

Please help! Thanks

Andy
