do you see the admin user config on the backup file (config system admin) ? Are you saying you are not able to login to the device after config restore?

When you open the config file in text editor, do you see the missing users under "config system admin" ?

That means the configuration backup must have taken before those admins were configured. You may have to configure them again and take a fresh backup (for future use).

When a configuration backup is made by an administrator who is not a super_admin, the super_admin accounts will not be included in the backup.

This is most likely what happened here.
