Administrator account and lost email

[Damien]

I have a new XP Pro laptop which I installed Office2000 on to using the
Administrator login. My problem is I made a new user for myself and now I
can't go back to the Administrator account and I have lost all my email.



Does anyone know how I can get to the Administrator account or where I can
find the 3 weeks of email that has disappeared?



Thanks

This is really a Windows question, but at the Welcome screen press
ALT-CTL-DEL twice. You should then have a "classic" login box and you can
enter "Administrator" as the username.

The mail is most likely in the hidden folder C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook in
a file ending in ".pst". After you've logged into the Administrator
account, copy that file to a folder to which your other account has access
and you should be able add that PST to Outlook with FIle>Open>Personal
Folders File
