That did not help because I didn't lose adminstrator account, just another user.

I would try Recuva Portable. It can be unzipped and placed on a flash drive to run it from there. There is a version you install but with every write to the hdd you risk overwriting the files you hope to recover.

If the free version doesn't find all of them and the pictures are terribly important-there is a very reasonable Pro version:
