It's pretty easy to switch accounts without using FAM.
Open 'Run'.
Type in regedit and whack enter.
Hunt down your FL install registry details (Should be there somewhere. Mine is under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Microsoft Games/Freelancer)
Click on '1.0'
You'll see your account key is listed there and some other details.
Copy and paste both the MPAccountName and MPAccountNameSig information into notepad and save it somewhere.
To make a new account:
Delete that information in regedit (That is your registry btw)
Start up FL and go to multiplayer, it will generate a new account key etc for you.
If you run regedit again, there will be the new information.
To switch between the accounts, simply replace the MPAccountName and MPAccountNameSig information with the first account's details and vice versa.
Works as many times as you want and doesn't require a new User account. It takes about 1 minute or less once you've done it the first time, you know where everything is.
In terms of your problem.
It looks like you didn't save the details of your new account and simply switched back to the old one. Then you just went back ingame after (presumably) deleting the old account info in the registry and the game simply generated a new account for you, not your old one.
I have to say that it doesn't always work 100% with everyone's computer.
My main computer at home wouldn't work as com32.dcx or something refused to be registered properly, or was corrupted.
Obviously a personal problem but it was what made me hunt down that way of dealing with it.
