all my pictures and music. Is there a way to get to and restore my files? I
tried system restore but it was disabled so I can't get back any further than
today. Please help. Thanks

Did you chose to delete admin user account files?
if yes, probably gone forever!!
did you check recycle bin, maybe!!

First thing when data is lost is to stop using the computer until you
try data recovery. Deleted files are not removed from the system, just
their space marked as available. The more you use the system the
greater the chance they get over written.
Here are some data recovery tools to try.
Executive Software “Undelete”:

Always have a full and complete backup so the next time data loss occurs
it can be restored from the backup.
