I was following some websites about creating new accounts and limiting options for them. I set it true that your account will be locked out for 30 min if you don't log in successfully in 3 attempts. My only administrator account is now locked out. All I am able to do is login under Guest. There are not other accounts except my administrator account(which isn't displayed when I go into Control Panel->Users) I was trying to create a Reset Password disk, but it won't let me make one for my administrator account. Help! It's been 2 hours and I can't log in and I can't change anything since all I can do is log in as Guest.
