Linksys software made mcx1 the admin?

I noticed I can't perform any actions as the administrator, so I ran NET USERS at the command line to see who the admin was. As it turns out, the admin account is listed as mcx1 if I am understanding everything correctly. The only way I think of that happeneing is from running the software that is included in my linksys dma2200 extender. This is the only admin on the machine, and I would like to find a way to make myself the admin again. Has anyone else ran into this problem, or know how to fix it?

I figured it out in a way. I just booted the pc in safe mode, and made a new admin account so I can make changes as admin if needed. My issue now is my old user account isn't on the login screen but I still have all of its folders, etc. How can I restore the regular user to the login screen, or log back on as that user?
