The program might be corrupted.
You could try logging in as "Administrator".
The password should be blank, under Recovery Console.
What version of windows are you using?
Can you run/write to registry editor (start > run > type "regedit")

Don't mess too much with regedit though, you could serioulsly screw up you computer.
