    Yes, you can make another administrator account.

    I actually have two, I am the only user. Just in case one gets corrupt or the password does not work.

    I didn't change it in "folders" I did it through Control Panel. If I change it back that way should it work? Can you have two administrator accounts if I create a new one?
    I would try changing it back to Judy the same way you changed it before to see if it will.

    Yes, you can have as many user accounts (administrator or standard) as you like on your computer.

    thank you both for all your help! at least I didn't have to go through the enable/disable built-in administrator. It's a simple fix.
