I need some help. I really messed up. I was adding a second "non-admin"
account to my XP Pro Sp2 system, so I wouldnt be on as a Admin all the time
( thought Power User would be good enough, but thats a defferent story) Any
as I was finishing that up on the local users/Groups tool, I said to myself,
"Self.. theres a good Admin account one your system already. And sinces a
mandatory account all you need to do is get your correct info in it, kill
your current account, and finish your new users account and your good to go.
Greatttttt. Guess who forgot to get rid of his first account before he
logged off??? Yeppp. So now, if I try to log on as eather my first
account(Admin Level), or the Administrator account, the login screen just
gos on, and on, and on.... and the last kick in the teeth is I cannot make a
new Admin account, I cannot use the account I can get to since the level is
to low, and every time I try to use Run as, it says it cannot find the path
for either account and theres no access there. I am 12 hours now into
banging my head on the wall...( I knew I had done it the second my finger
hit the off switch.) I need HELP... if there is a way to hack through
everything and 'reset' great, or even a way to get to at least my mp3's and
other files for a quick cd burn, and then a long reformat and
install...fine...but I'm out of ideas!!!!! HHHHEEEEELLLPPPPPP

Start in safe mode and do a system restore to an earlier date.
To start in safe mode, Start tapping the F8 key while it is booting up.
