    try system restore! to before you made any modifications

    Restart computer ,Start tapping F8 to bring up Advanced boot options
    Select Repair computer and run system restore from there!!

    also in there is cmd prompt ,u can turn on the hidden admin account

    from cmd prompt type" net user administrator /active:yes" without quotes

    when u reboot the hidden admin account should be visible

    Unchecking "user must enter a username and password to use this computer" in User Accounts shouldn't downgrade your admin account to Guest.

    Hi yuencoming. You should first boot through an antivirus rescue disk to check if you have any malware infection and to remove the infection (if any). If you still can't boot into your admin account, try booting your PC from a certain rescue disk called Kon-Boot. It's Windows 7 compatible and it literally breaks into your system and lets you regain admin privileges in Windows and correct the mistake that you have previously made.

    P.S. Using Kon-Boot in others' computers without their permission is ILLEGAL and I'll not be responsible if you get into trouble. Happy tweaking.
