Step 2: Registry Editor will launch and you need to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Step 3. Try to find out which user account it relates to by clicking each S-1-5 folder and double-click the ProfileImagePath entry.



Step 4. If you have located the folder for the corrupt profile (and it doesn’t have a .bak ending), double-click RefCount and change the Value data to 0 and click Ok.



Step 5. Double-click on State, then make sure the Value data is again 0 and click Ok.



Step 6. Close regedit and then restart to your PC. Now you can log into your account.

Trick 2: Create a new user profile

Type “net user administrator /active:yes” at the prompt.
You can see the response show that : The command completed successfully. Reboot to your PC and see your corrupt account and administrator account. 
Login the admin account(which has no password) and do as the following:
Step 1: Open Control Panel and click User Accounts and Family Safety
Step 2: Click on User Accounts. Then click Manage another account and type in the password
Step 3: Click Create a new account and type the name.
Step 4: Restart your PC.

Copy User Files to the New Profile

Step 6: By clicking Start, Computer and then double-clicking on the hard drive on which Windows is installed, you can navigate to the corrupt user account.
usually c: - and then double-click on the Users folder. Find the folder containing your old user account and double-click it, then double-click My Documents.
Step 7. It’s best to copy across the contents of sub-folders separately, and this gives you a chance to have a clear out as well. If you do want to copy the entire contents in one go, enable hidden files and folders and then make sure you DON’T copy across the following files:
Ntuser.dat
Ntuser.dat.log
Ntuser.ini
You can click the Tools menu(press Alt if you can’t see it), to make these files visible.
Then click the View tab and click Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Be sure that any email stored locally may need to be copied separately using instructions specific to your email program.
