   Thanks, I managed to solve it by browsing around [no shortage of info, I   
   found they have dedicated forums just for this].   
   I typed in "Administrator" instead of my name and it worked, so it turned out   
   for some reason the pw was good but the name was wrong ... I have no idea why   
   it created a second account, I still have my profile [which I am set as   
   administrator] and now this new administrator one.
