I had a similar problem awhile back, except for some reason my password would not be excepted, even though i had not changed it, and in by playing around i found a floor in xp.
Right first on the log in screen, there should be a button or icon for making a new user, once in xp change the new user to administrator and then reboot.
After rebooting you can now rename the new user as the user name u used before, you might of lost all your personal settings but at least u don't have to go threw a total reinstall.
Hope this helps and that M$ have not corrected this hack in service updates
Cheers Markie
