Admin Account and User Profile Passwords Not Working

I have 2 user accounts on my computer, 1 is mine and the other my boyfriends. I also have an administrator account, which is me, with the same password as my user account.

I cannot access my user account. I type in the password and it says THE USER PROFILE ACCOUNT FAILED TO LOGIN so I have been using my boyriends user account. But whenever the User Account Control box appears asking for an administrator password I type in the password but either nothing happens or it comes up with an error message saying WINDOWS CANNOT FIND "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\RSTRUI.EXE". MAKE SURE YOU TYPED THE NAME CORRECTLY, AND THEN TRY AGAIN.

I've tried deleting my user profile and various other things but it always asks for an Administrator password so I literally cannot do anything and it's driving me mad!!!!! Please help!!

Hello Bnbn88,

You might see if this may be able to help you fix this.

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

Hope this helps,
Shawn

RE: Admin Account and User Profile Passwords Not Working

There are a lot of Windows password revealers and crackers available.



Windows password recovery tool:

but I’ve found that Windows Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with
Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user
account to a blank password.
