    Hello Farhana,

    From within the built-on Administrator account that you have enabled, you can copy over the users files you want to back up from the old account to be safe from the C:\Users\(old user name)" folders locations.

    These two tutorials may be able to help you fix this error though so that you can regain access to your original account.

    User Profile Error - Logged on with a Temporary Profile

    and

    The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
