More info?)
It sounds like he was running on the built-in Administrator account, and when he created the new account for his daughter, the Administrator account became hidden, as is normal.
If this is the case, at the logon screen, with no users logged on, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice (XP Pro only) and you'll get the old Windows 2000 style logon. Enter Administrator and any password that you may have for that account. If in doubt, leave the password blank. For XP Home, you must boot the computer into Safe Mode to access the built-in Administrator account.
If this is not your issue, post back with more details.
