I am an idiot. Today, I decided to set a password for my XP user account. I typed it in twice (that whole, make sure you didn't have a typo thing), and it accepted it.

I also sent your problem to my friend Rob, aka computer genius. He is full of knowledge.

James also suggests starting it in Safe Mode which will bypass some things and might let you get to the files.

Lastly, just take it to the computer guys at your school and they'll fix it for sure. They just might charge you a few bucks or something.
