Changed Permissions - Need Help - Can't Hide Admin Account

Help... I was trying to find a way to change some system icons, and found some commands online. The icons changed successfully but now my Administrator account shows up when I log in. Prior to this the admin account was hidden and only my user account was displayed at the login. Below are the commands used to change the icons:
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources
sudo mkdir BACKUPS
sudo cp *.png BACKUPS/
sudo chmod o+w *.png
open .
After doing this in terminal I was able to access the icon files and modify them. But now how do I return the permissions back to the system ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, for some reason the Terminal commands indicated they worked ok but did not hide the Administrator account at the login screen. What I did find on the web that worked is, in OS X there is an app called "Property List Editor" which allows you to hide and unhide accounts through a GUI based editor. This app works really well, and there is plenty of documentation regarding this app online. Also it allows you to add or remove the "Other" option at the login screen which will allow you to login into the hidden accounts, this appears very useful for security since you can hide as many accounts as you like. Hope this helps anyone else with this problem, and once again thanks to those of you who have offered suggestions.

I need to create a new admin account. but i lost the cd that came with the macbook, and forgot my password. also can the cd be replaced.

You can purchase replacement discs from AppleCare:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
You can try the following to reset the password without the DVD:
How to change your username and/or password from the Terminal
1. Boot into single-user or verbose mode
2. At the prompt enter the following commands. Press RETURN after each:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/username password
Replace username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
reboot
This allows you to reset the password in single user mode without booting from the install media. The above tip is attributed to Satcomer.

How can i delete admin accounts

how can i delete admin accounts on imac running lion

Apple says that admin accounts should be only used for tasks that require them, and not for any other reason. Apple even goes so far as to say to never browse the web or check email while logged in to an admin account.
The reason is for security. When logged in to an admin account, everything you do, every program and process you run, runs with elevated admin privileges. Running with higher privileges than is necessary can be a security risk. There is no reason for your web browser, for example, to be running all the time with admin rights.
If you're currently running as admin it's easy to switch. Make a new admin account, and change your previous account from admin to standard. You can then continue using your old account as you always have.
You'll find that you rarely if ever need to actually log in to the admin account. Nearly all admin and even root tasks, like installing software, can be done from any non-admin account, by entering the admin username/password when prompted.

I need help regarding resetting my mail accounts on macbook pro

What kind of accounts do you need to reset? IMAP or POP accounts using one of the many web-based messaging systems? An Exchange server account? Were they working and now just not working any longer?
You're going to have to be a little more specific in what you need...

Computer freezes after changing CPU Need Help!

Just replaced the processor in my P35 Platinum from Core 2 Duo E4500 to Pentium Dual-Core E5800 as it says in MSI CPU Support that E5800 is supported. But to my surprise, the system would have blue screen whenever I turn EIST off. Why is this so? Need a solution quick. Would really appreciate any help.

function() {
    stopDrag();
    if (tabbingON || !draggingON) {
        pickupPiece(this._name);
    // if puzzle piece is in right spot, then place
    else if (eval(_root[this._name]._droptarget) == _root["hitarea" + selectedPiece]) {
        placePiece(this._name);
        counter++;
        reply_txt.text = "Good Job!";
        playSound("5.3right");
    // if puzzle piece is not in right spot, then return it
    } else {
        returnPiece(this._name);
        reply_txt.text = "Try again!";
        playSound("5.3beep-10");
       if(counter == 10){
        reply_txt.text = "Finish!";
        playSound("5.3greatjob1");
Okey that is the last object to be place.. when the last object is placed there, text will changed and a different sound effect will be heard.
Once that is done, i press my back button to go to the game selection scene but the last object stays.
i tried reset button using
function reset()
dd1._x = 910
dd1._y = 277
dd2._x = 913
dd2._y = 384
dd3._x = 914
dd3._y = 486
dd4._x = 918
dd4._y = 591
and used in on the codings for my Back Button before it went the game menu.. hmm here
backbtn.onRelease = function(){
    reset();
    gotoAndPlay("5.0Games", 1);
but it still wont work and the last object stays.
Hmm i have 4 games with the same codes, the names of object were the same at the beginning using pp1 til pp5 or pp10 but i changed everyone of them to pp dd qq gg so having directory problem isn't the case. I am still finding the solution now trying whatever i can think of, i need help on this..

Need help with show/hide and layers moving

I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
appears in another cell?

> I don't know code or CSS well at all.
That's unfortunate.
> layers not staying in place in different browsers.
Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
this -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
> I read layers don't work well with tables
They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
tables and
layers to use them.
Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
struggling with?
