Try rebooting in safe mode. If you still have a problem there is a hidden admin account that can be turned on.

Backup your files if you haven't already..

It's to late to create a restore point now. You will have to use a recovery disc or the vista install disc to fix the problem. Just put the disc in and reboot. If your using a recovery disc its going to restore your computer to factory and you will lose all your files but if you have the vista install disc you can try to repair the installation.​

If you want to try the vista disc, just stick the disc in your computer and reboot it and your computer should boot from the disc then you should see an option to repair...(I've never done this because I have recovery discs so I can't be more specific)
Otherwise it sounded like you were able to boot into safe mode right, put the hotfix on usb drive, boot into safe mode, extract the hotfix from the zip folder onto your desktop and double click.
