You can recover your pc with everything in place.
First, try logging in as adminstrator, typically the password is blank.
If this doesn't work, you can download a knoppix cd image, boot from the cd, and reset the password. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
Either way, you can reset the passwords.

to high light safe mode or last know good configuration etc
5 hit enter on key board
6 - windows should start or it will give options on how to start windows
system restore
1- click start at bottom of screen
2 - then click choose all programs
3 - then click pc help tools or could be in accessorys
4 - then click on system restore
5 - then click on restore to an earlier date or factory settings
6 - choose a date when it was working - or factory settings
7 - let it run it may take a while - follow directions - if any
8 - if does not work - restart THEN CHECK STATUS
choose destructive recovery as last resort you will have to look hard to find this option
i don"t know your computers options etc
BUT thats what it took to restore mine to get settings i wanted etc
BACK UP IMPORTANT THINGS TO CD NO MATTER WHAT OPTION(S) YOU CHOOSE

press F8 repeatedly at start up/power on! next press safe mode/boot, then go to your control panel under user account and delete your pass code
