Vista - Can't access Power Options now

While looking through various power option settings, via the contro panel, I
clicked on one link to restore the default setting. I received the message
that I could not do it without administrator approval. That never happened
before. When I clicked OK I came to a screen that said now I couldn't even
access the power options. Is there a way to get back to Square 1? I've been
using the computer, a personal one in my home, no network or administrator,
for over a month now with no problem with this.

i suggest you could create a new account. and login with this new account.
