changed user account and have lost saved data

Question

I changed the user account information.  I'm not sure what I did but it appears that I erased the old administrator account that i had, and replaced it with a new administrator account.  Now I have lost all of the songs that I had on Itunes.  I know the songs are not erased from my computer, how do I restore them?

Go to Start ☞ Search ☞ For files or Folders ☞  Click on all files........   In the box type in *.mp3 or *.wav or any extension you know they have.

They are there, just under the old user account, search for them, then take ownership: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308421&sd=tech
