Can not create Admin account

I have followed this tutorial for creating an Admin account.

http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?44-how-do-i-change-or-reset-my-admin-password-%28i-lost-it%29

It worked the first time, but after being logged out I am not able to do this again.
I am prompted for a new passord instead of "admin" but keep getting an error message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you follow this in the tutorial??

After you log in, remember to delete this temporary admin account after creating a new one

If so, then you deleted the admin account and replaced it with what?

Hello and thank you for the reply. 
I actually managed to solve the problem. When deleting the admin account and created the new one, the account ID was numbered sequentally. The ID had to be "2" and not 6, 7 or 8... 
I had to create a new admin account from scratch and then it worked.
