HELP locked out of Windows XP pro

[jessen_62]

I was fooling around in user accounts, changed my computer name and also changed the "groups" I was then asked to Reboot which I did. Now I am asked for a password, and the password I had with the user name I had is no longer good! I have tried everything I can think off, I tried ophcrack and logmein, and everyother software out there, i keep getting password cant be found. I tried booting with the xp cd but it ask's for an admin password and the one I had doesnt work. H E L P!!!!!!
