My computer has four user accounts (2 admin) and I was using one of the admin ones when the computer froze and i pressed the reset button. The machine restarted, but my account was gone. All the files were still there, including the user folder, but I couldn't log in and all files I owned showed up as owned by "unknown" I created a new user with the same name but different password, but the files still show up as owned by unknown. I can change them to be owned by me, but I have to do it one at a time. The "apply to enclosed items" button does nothing as far as I can tell. Help!

Thanks,
Daniel
