How did you delete account a?


using acount b (this is also admin)

useing the system pref. i deleated the acount. stardard way. but i read somewhere the very first acount you create on the computer could not be recreated unless by some strange way... i just forgot how. 🙁
 
you need the setup assistant in the utilities folder. if you dont have one the just copy it from someone else. that will recreate the account that was deleated. i was freaked out at first. but all the other accounts were still there and the main account was fresh and clean. 🙂
