I've just installed XP Prof on my small network with an NT4 server.
I set up the XP administrator password to be the same as for the NT domain.

I then set up a couple of other users and while logged in to one of those,
the Administrator user disappeared from the log-in/switch users list, and
from 'User accounts' in Control Panel.

The Administrator user is still listed as existing in the computer
Management | Local Users & Groups | Users and in the administrators Group.

How do I get to log in to it again?

Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice at the logon screen.
