I was logged on as Administrator and used "control userpasswords2" to
bypass login screen. NOW, I have no administrator account or group and the
only account is me as a GUEST without privileges. How can I get my
configuration back?

Restart you computer but hold down the Shift key.
Depending on how you've configured your computer this will
bring up either the Welcome Screen or the Logon to Windows
Dialog.
If it brings up the Welcome screen you'll need to hit Ctrl +
Alt + Del twice.
You should now see the Logon to Windows dialog.
You can now enter Administrator in the User Name box and
correct the mistake you made earlier.

FYI, it's not a real good idea to use the built-in
Administrator account for anything other than emergencies. Once
you get your current issue resolved, you might want to consider
creating another account for yourself.

Good luck

Reboot to Safe Mode, login as Administrator, and reverse the change, or create
an account for yourself.
