I was reading the thread on the site that was posted by Spike. It had all these nifty things to help you make windows more secure. I came to one that was to change the administrator's name so that it would confuse hackers and such, so i did everything that was said to do. I changed the user name, not the full name, cause it said it would screw my computer up if i changed the full name.
I noted that there was another line under it that said "User" and to the right of it, it said, "administrators".....i thought there was a mistake so i clicked on it, like i had done to the administrator one before, and i changed the username from "user" to my name "Jenni". I thought it was harmless.
Well! I guess NOT? I went to control panel afterwards and clicked on "user accounts" a box popped up saying "the current user account is not recognized. Restart the computer and then open user accounts."
Now, i am afraid to restart the computer because it said in the tutorial that if done wrong i could loose all my stuff and would have to reformat windows which i would really like to not do, and avoid.
So i went back to what i had changed to change it back from "Jenni" to "User" and it was GONE! So, i dont know what to do and i would really like some help, please!
My computer will remain not restarted until i hear back from someone who could help. Thanks, all.
