493825 2006-10-25 03:50:00 Deletting the Adminstrator account and then rebooting did the trick as I could not create a new Adminstrator account (it stated that thsi account already exists).
Before I was unable to login in Safe mode (PC just froze), but that is now fixed and the original password was preserved!

You can see all users and groups through Computer Management Console MMC, right click 'My Computer>Manage", however, yes the profile was corrupt, hence deleting profile, relogging back in re-creates the profile resolved the isssue.
