Norton Internet Security

Hi guys
Please help me
I have recently installed Norton Internet Security 2005 onto my XP machine. I have created a situation whereby I am still the administrator but have changed my name to dad. This now means I can't log off as dad and log back on as administrator. I have tried creating a new windows account calling it administrator but it says this account already exists, but it doesn't appear on the windows log in screen. I have full control of the pc except NIS which I can't live up date it or change any of the settings. A screen pops up and says log off and re log on as administrator.
I really don't know where to go with this. After many late late nights i'm about to give up.
Please help.

Thanks guys
