You will only see the user registry files under ADSM.sys if that user was
logged on when the backup was run.  If there are no directories there, you
have nothing to worry about.  Also if these files are not current you don't
have to worry about them - they were from a prvious backup when the user was
logged on.

The "default" file is part of the system registry and should be copied to
\winnt\system32\config along with the files in the
adsm.sys\registry\...\MACHINE\ directory.  This step has to be performed
from another system (recovery system) since these files are used by NT.
