How to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile

On another note you could try resetting the password(s) another way which can have a bad outcome if you use any type of encryption. If any encryption is used, your OS will more than likely need to be reinstalled fresh if you use/do this, otherwise it's straight forward and easy to do. I've used it numerous times and never had a problem, the again encryption wasn't being used either.
Follow the instructions carefully, better yet copy/print them to reference as you run through the steps.

I cannot get into the Administrator account either. It also says I must
enter a password, even though there was not one before. I can access the
profiles that are "locked" out from the new profile I created during the XP
repair install, I just cannot log into thoes profiles.

Boot the machine.
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome screen.
Type in the name of the administrator account.
Leave the password blank if one isn't used.
Press Enter.
