OK, so if the new user was fine, reset the panels for your admin login. Look at that forum post I linked too, and it shows 2 ways of doing this. One thing I didn't mention is that you need to be logged in as your admin user, not the new user. After doing the reset, you might have to log out and then back in as the admin user, and everything should be reset to the standard layout. Let us know if you have any problems.
