HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Click on this folder S-1-5-21-724269861-727063738-2825992131-1000 on the right side does it have a 0(zero) for STATE and REFCOUNT ?

Hi VistaKing,

sorry for the delay I was having dinner.

I unzipped the file and right click on the file "Add_Take_Ownership".reg than merge but this si the response:

Cannot Import C:\Users\madmatt\Desktop\Add_Take_Owership.reg: Error accessing the registry

I am at the moment logged in with my new account madmatt (the one you suggest me to create) and not the original Matteo account which works only in safe mode.

Do I still have any hope to restore my Matteo account?

You're not inside the administrators group .

To add mad Matt to the administrators group . Open up command prompt

Enter the command below

net localgroup administrators madmatt /add
press <Enter>

That is why it was asking for your Matteo password cause you're not in the administrators group .

Once you have done the steps above . Restart the PC 2 times to unlock all of the User Accounts and then try the previous registry instructions .

:ADDED:

On the madmatt account try to merge the .reg file once more . You could right click on the reg file and choose merge or you could double click and choose Yes or OK to continue .

I did everything on the register:

- Didn't find the line with .bak
- Added 0 to the line ending 100 for the two Stats and Profs
- Noticed that the line ending 102 had an 8 on the Profs

Restarted and logged in with Matteo (original account) but still gives a message: You have been logged on with temporary profile.

Take ownership of the TEMP ( all of them ) then delete the User Accounts .

Then go to the registry and delete the SID that ends in .bak then change the State and RefCount to 0 (zero) for the Matteo account . Then restart and try to log into the account .
