There is a series of tick boxes in the lower half of the properties window deselect the one saying Account Is Disabled.
Apply the changes and Log Off, there should now be 2 accounts in your log in screen, select administrator.
when you go to delete your old account it'll ask you if you want to save the documents and settings from it. say yes and copy the files from the folder into your new admin account.
