Blank Welcome Screen with Admin Account Restriction

I am running Windows XP with SP2. I recently removed a user account with
Admin properties, and set my generic admin account to have no password. When
I rebooted, the welcome screen had no users on the right side. I used the
Ctrl-Alt-Delete method to get to the classic logon, but when I put in
Administrator for the user name I get a dialog box that says:

"Unable to log you on because of an account restriction"

At this point I cannot get into Windows at all to see what the restrictions
might be.

Thanks,

Mike

Nevermind, I did not fix the problem, but I have found a work around.
