No, i'm not talking about reformatting.  It's called System Restore, not System Recovery. 
 Click start, programs, accessories, system tools, system recovery.  It allows you 
to take your system back to a day where everything was working fine(except for your 
log in screen issue, which we can fix after you do the system restore.) Hopefully 
you have it enabled.  Open system restore and it will come up with a calendar with 
days in bold type.  Click on one of those days when it was working ok or the day 
before you screwed it up.  After it gets done doing its restore, the system will 
reboot and hopefully it will tell you the restore was successful.
