How can I log on as administrator?

I set up the guest account on my computer for my son and after a restart and logging back on to my original name, it came up with a totally new, default screen and not the one I have been using for over a year, all the desktop icons in my name have vanished along with my wallpaper and all my settings.
I removed the guest account but it is still the same
I am a computer admnistrator but all my files seem to be in administrator only.
Any idea how I can get everything back as it was?
I assume I have to log back on as administrator only but I don't have that option on the logon/logoff screen.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give
