I think he means he changed the default name "ADMIN" to his name .

@ax3 :- try this

create a new User and make him administrator

well..
when it shows login screen then type username as
Administrator
password :
as you set for first time for first account !
then it must be right!

yaar try to look through all your options in

By running: (Start -> Run)
gpedit.msc

[nitnew]

run the OS in safe mode then login as administrator and the password that you enter during the installation of the OS, this may give you all the rights.

Log in!! in ur Windows in safe mode & then watever is the newer account U see in the welcome list out ur admin password in it & delete all other login's of ur computer & try disk scandisk this shd work out ...

After this create one new account with administrator privileges & try it from tht account too....
