Hi all, I hid he administrator account in Windows 7 Home Premium so others could not see it at the logon screen, and so that one limited account could be visible. However I want to make changes to the system, and I can't run anything as Administrator. Also when I log off, the Other User option is not there, and Admin account I hid is not there.

Boot into Safe Mode as that is the Administrator account. Go into accounts and unhide the account or the way you log in. Reboot back into normal mode and the accounts should all be visible now.
