you can reactivate the old. start yast from the shell,

elect: system administration | user management (or what comes next to
this term)

you'll see a mask with "username" at the top. activate that field and
press F3. browse the list and look for the obvious name (if you want the
name, well you can "ls -l /home" and take the name from the home
directory btw.) press <enter> and until you reach the password field.
Enter and confirm a new password.

memorize both ;-) leave yast and that will be it.

PS: you can add further user accounts that way too.
