An account no longer shows up in the login window or sys pref accounts?

More information is required.

Set up the account again, using the identical long and short names as
you previously had. You should then get a message saying that a home
folder already exists for that account and asking if you want to use it.
Say okay.

I'm in sys pref/accounts and following your instructions. I get the message
folder already exists do you want to use it? I say ok but the account does
not appear in the left hand pane.

If I decide to do a restore from time machine let me ask you this.

The machine is on the east coast I'm on the west. Using Timbuktu. The
machine has Leopard installed but I mailed them a snow leopard disk which is
not installed yet. Can they boot the machine with the snow leopard disk and
run restore from time machine although the machine only has leopard
installed?
