In c:\Documents and Settings there should be your old profile folder.

there is but it doesnt allow me access and there was never a password on that account

Right click the folder and go to preperties, security, advanced, owner.

Click on your username and tick the box replace owner on subcontainers and objects. Click ok and you should then be able to access them.

Shutdown your computer, Turn it on and keep pressing F8 every second or so.

Should bring up a menu which you select 'Safe Mode'

Once you're logged into windows, Try what gsxrmick said again.
