How do I transfer old user data to new user data on same machine? Currently running 10.6.8

On day recently I turned on my Macbook and it got stuck after I entered my user name and password, on the 'outer space' wallpaper and would not log in. I (likely foolishly) found a trick online to reset the computer so it believed I had not set up an admin. account yet. I was able to successfully create a new admin. account and can log all the way in on that (using it now). At this point, I'd like to just transfer the data from my old account to the new account, rather than try to repair the issue with the old account login. What should I do?
