I'm thinking you may not be in as much of a predicament as you think you are.

We need a little information. Go to Start | Run. type "control
userpasswords2" in the Open field, and hit the Enter key. Make a list of the
accounts that are listed there, and come back to tell us what they are.

i'm thinking that your "renamed" Administrator account is really a different
administrative account that you gave a name to when it was automatically
created for you. And your original built-in Administrator account is probably
okay. It isn't active by default, so you would have had to do something to
activate it deliberately to be able to be logging on to it as your regular
user account. It couldn't have happened by accident. Well, not likely, anyway.
