There is always the drastic action, reinstall. I know you do not want to hear this, with the reinstallation problems and all, but just keep in in mind.

i dont have acess to a burner
oh adn i tried reinstalling for some reason it didn't work, if i tried nistalling windows 7 it wouldn show, windows is loading files, finish doing that and the screen just froze very dark blue..
if i tried installing my old xp disc it would do the ancient blue menu, and then just freeze art setup is loading windows... i left both for a good few hours... nothing changed..
any suggestions?

umm well....
you need to boot into command prompt and activate your administrator account

hit F8 as the computer is booting up and go into safe mode with DOS prompt command prompt.

when command prompt comes up.. type:

net user administrator /active:yes

should say sucessful...then reboot, she have admin in the welcome screen, go into your admin account and reset your password
