Logon as the guest, and type "runas /noprofile /user:compName\administrator
mmc" without the quotes in the run command.

Enter the administrator password when prompted and then add the computer
management snap-in to the MMC console. Create a new administrator account
to troubleshoot with or just check the policy to ensure you've not locked
yourself out as stated by Dennis.

In group policy you enabled "Deny log on locally". This blocks you local
logon rights.
Try to use the RESOLUTION part of this KB to solve.
