XP insists on new administrator where one exists

Recently, I added new users to Windows XP. I did so
whilst logged in as Administrator, with administrator
privileges. XP would not allow me to create the new
users before I created an administrator account, as, it
said (wrongly), that there wasn't one. In frustration, I
created "Administrator 2", which allowed me to create the
other users. My original Administrator account has
disappeared from the Login screen, although it still
exists when viewed through the SysAd Console. Regedit
allows you to hide and view users, but not administrators
(or, at least, I can't find where).

How do I restore "Administrator" to the login screen and
delete "Administrator 2" safely?

Thanks
