I'm not really sure whats wrong with my computer at this point. When I start it the only user account is "Other User" and I cannot log into it. Help would be appreciated.
Problem with Windows Vista Startup

Try accessing the built in administrators account through safe mode.
to do this do as follows.
1. You must restart your computer system to be able to boot in Safe Mode .
2. When the Windows screen appears, press the F8 key.
3. From the list, go to the option Microsoft Windows by using your keyboard arrows.
4. Instead of pressing the Enter key, press the F8 key again to display the Safe Mode boot screen.
5. Choose Safe Mode from the list and press the Enter key.
6. You will hence be taken to the log in screen that will display the Administrator account icon among your other current account/s.
if done correctly you should now be able to get into the UAC and make and delete accounts.

Out of curiosity, is this a pre-built computer? If so, what brand?
The reason I ask is that companies like Dell and HP often mess with their installations of windows, and a lot of what they change often has something to do with the boot-up process. It doesn't always work right.
