Even a Guest can use the Runas command. It can run a command as that ID without loading the profile. Let's say your user ID was "Me". As a Guest, open a Command Prompt icon on Start. Run this command, changing "Me" to your broken admin ID.

runas /noprofile /user:Me "Net user administrator /active:yes"

Now when you restart, you will have the default "Administrator" account on the Welcome screen to sign on. You can use this account to create a new admin account for yourself (User Accounts app in control panel), then you can run the command, with the new admin account, to remove the default administrator:
Net user administrator /active:no
