I was just trying to get rid of the welcome screen that appears
everyone windows xp start, so I disabled ALL the accounts (including
administrator & guest account) in Administrative Tools > Computer
Management > Local Users and Groups > Users
I showed 3 accounts: One in my name, another "Administrator" and third
one "Guest". I disabled all of them. Ofcourse, i was unaware of the
consequences.

When I rebooted the pc, the windows xp welcome screen appeared but it
did not show any accounts (i.e. I did not have any account to click
to). I also tried pressing CLT + ALT + DEL twice to get the window
where Username and Account password are to be typed but it doesnt work.
It says that "Your account has been disabled. Please Contact System
Administrator"
(Even the administrator account give that message). I tried typing
everything... my username, administrator, guest, etc but nothing works.
Looks like I am locked out of my PC.

Can anyone help me out with this? Is there any way I can get to my
desktop or control panel without losing my private data so that I can
once again enable the accounts?

BTW, I tried in safe mode too and the same thing happens.

(I did not have a password in any of my accounts)

Please help me get out of this...

Thanks,
Harshil

Next time
Start | Run <type in> control userpasswords2 <enter>
Uncheck the obvious.

Hopefully you have a full recovery disk. Insert into CD and let the disk
restore the damage.
Next time, leave well enough alone if you know not what you are doing.

Words you should live by.

Thanks everyone for your help! I finally got my PC working! I installed
windows XP on another partition of my hard disk drive and now I am
running the PC on the new XP.
Actually i have one more question.
Is it possible for me to access the control panel of my old XP while
running the new XP?
I know that the useraccounts can be enabled by going into
C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt but when i click on that link (while in
the old xp), the computer management window that opens relates to the
new XP. Is there a way I can get into the computer management window of
the old xp?
Thanks for all the help..
