Is your old account missing from login screen only or are the Docs and Settings folders for your old account also missing?

No you cant restore it then,
However you can try chkdsk -r at recovery console. (guess it will work)

Btw can u please mention that are you able to see this account when you go to the control panel if yes change the password and then try)
