PERPLEXED01

I AM THE ADMIN ON MY COMPUTER. WHEN I TRY TO LOGON I GET THIS MSG:

THE USER PROFILE SERVICE SERVICE FAILED THE LOGON

USER PROFILE CANNOT BE LOADED

I AM FORCED TO USE MY COMPUTER AS A GUEST AND I CANT MAKE ANY ADMIN CHANGES
BECAUSE I AM LOGGED ON AS GUEST. I AM TRAPPED, CAN ANYONE HELP ME.....
 
Even a Guest can use the Runas command. It can run a command as that ID
without loading the profile. Let's say your user ID was "Me". As a Guest,
open a Command Prompt icon on Start. Run this command, changing "Me" to your
broken admin ID.

runas /noprofile /user:Me "Net user administrator /active:yes"

Now when you restart, you will have the default "Administrator" account on
the Welcome screen to sign on. You can use this account to create a new
admin account for yourself (User Accounts app in control panel), then you
can run the command, with the new admin account, to remove the default
administrator:
Net user administrator /active:no
