Username and Password incorrect. It just took it away. the username that we
were using was administrator and if you try that one it says it is disabled.
You mean you had been using WinXP's built-in Administrator account,
with no other user accounts created? That is the reason you now have no
usable user accounts.
The built-in Administrator account really was never intended to be used
for day-to-day normal use. The standard security practice is to rename
the account, set a strong password on it, and use it only to create
another account for regular use, reserving the Administrator account as
a "back door" in case something corrupts your regular account(s).
Have you tried rebooting into Vista in Safe Mode? That should allow
you to access that built-in Administrator account so you can create
other user accounts for normal usage.
Failing that, Linux-based password cracking utilities abound on the
Internet, freely available to anyone who can use Google.
