administrator exchange account

Hi

i had to do a restore from CD of mailboxes in exchange.

I managed to recover the mailboxes ok except i have this
one query.

When i recovered the mailboxes, i only have got one
mailbox for Administrator with a red X through it. I do
not have another mailbox for administrator without a red x
through it, so it will be deleted in about 30 days.

What are the consequences if this happens and what can i
do to fix it?

I do not need the mail in the administrator mailbox with
the red x through it.

If need be, how do i create another administrator mailbox
if i purge the one with the red x through it?

Do you think that this is OK to do?

I do not think it is a good idea to delete the
administrator account and create another as i think it is
an inbuilt account.

thanks
