Did you disable the account or delete it? If you deleted it, it will be gone and you would have to re-create it.
I don't know how you are managing the account, but I like to do it by right clickinng on My Computer and then choose "Manage" Then click on the Users folder.
When you want to disable an account, just right click the account and choose "disable".
You will then see a red X on that account reminding you that it is disabled. The account still exists, it's just not valid. If ever you need to enable it again, just right click on it and choose Enable.
