disabled password login, can't login at all now!

While running Windows XP
I've clicked start, run "control users2password" and
clicked off to enable having to login with a password for
the administrator id.

After rebooting, I am unable to login, saying unit is due
to an "account restriction". I can't login to any user.

Help!! Whats the solution to this error, I need my system
back but am stuck at the login! Is there away around this
without reinstalling windows XP??
Thanks for any hints!!
