To recover your deleted account, you could probably try a system restore. 

Hopefully, it's not to far gone.

That's the easy part , but does somebody know how to make a hidden acount , i'm sure it must be possible in some kind of way.

What is the reason you require a hidden account?

My nefew wants it since his parents don't allow him to have a password anymore and i believe everyone has right of privacy , besides he is almost 16 years old...

Just did a Google search and found this:

 

From http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/6222/windows-7-vista-xp-hide-user-account-from-welcome-screen-login-screen/

 

This recipe will explain how to hide accounts from the Windows Welcome / Login screen.  This can be handy for when an application or service account is  created for apps to run with and are not needed for logging with. (ie Copssl and its SvcCOPSSH user account that it creates)

 

1. Run The Registry Editor in Windows XP/Vista/Win7 by going to Start Menu > Run or by hitting theStart Menu Key + R key> type: regedit and hit enter. You will need to run this from an account that has Administrative rights.

2. In the Registry Editor window, go to:

HKEY_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

3. Right-click on the UserList folder on the left pane and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value

Use the username of the account you want to hide as the value and hit OK. It will show up in the right-pane. Exit the Registry Editor

Voila, your account should no longer show up on the Welcome / Login screen or in the Control Panel > User Accounts area.

–To unhide the account, just go back to the same registry entry/location and delete the key with the name of the account.

It's not worth the time and effort to do this, every time you want to hide and unhide the account.
