When you made your network username an administrator, did you remove your local account as an administrator?
It does sound like you may be stuck and as said by Jordus, it's looking like you may have to reinstall.

no i didn't. the local admin is still there. I try to log in as it but it tells me it is disabled. I need to enable it. it is there.
Try here:
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
Download the ISO and burn to a CD. Boot from the CD and follow the steps - I haven't tried this with 7 but can confirm that it works with XP and Vista.
There is an option for renabling disabled accounts.

I started in safe mode and it had the option to log in as administrator. It says preparing desktop still though so i'm kinda worried its taking way to long.
Started in safe mode with command prompt. there was the option to log in as administrator. Logged in then made administrator account active from using
C:\windows\system32
net user administrator /active:yes
