This Sucks
I can't believe it. My niece wanted to use my computer to access the internet; so I set up a limited account for her use.
Now; my admin account is GONE. The only account that even shows up on the users account page is the new one for my niece. Not even the guest account is there.
Trying to run NWN from the limited account doesn't work. It says it can't verify the program version and suggests running the updater before trying to play NWN. Updater says Version 1.69.somethingsomethingsomething is loaded. Then it says NWN is not loaded and can't be updated.
Any clues? Either as to where my admin account went or what's up with NWN?

I don't know what OS you're using but I hope that helps some.

Windows XP; luminance
And trying your suggested help has a few problems. Where it says to choose the Switch User option ... I don't have a switch user option; and trying the con/alt/del thing didn't work.

Let me google that for you!
Apologies for the snark, I do hope it helps!first result from google wrote:You can change it so that people must type in their account name to log on. That way you can access the admin account.
Boot to safe mode and log in as Admin.
go to start <--- settings <--- user accounts
under pick a task. chose change the way users log on or off.
Uncheck use the welcome screen.
Reboot and it will be like a win2K login.
There is also this, which is tricky but may help
