windows login problem

heya guys,
my friend has just encountered a problem where now she is unable to log in to windows(at the user login splash screen). she has two accounts.. and she claims one is disabled.. i take it that that must be the guest account. an error message saying the profile is corrupted is given whenever she tries to log in to her account. is there any way around this besides a reformat?
thanks !

The key is you have to be able to boot into a login account that has adminstrative previlidges.
"g"
You can boot into safe mode as GTGHM says.. and log into the administrator account, save her profile somewhere for later information retrieval.. then nuke her account to make a new one
EDIT: Damn everyone post at once, haha
//edit : shorty, how do you "save" the profile? or the stuff inside it? lol
yep
To save the profile, go into the Documents & Setting folder and rename the folder that has her login name on it... Then the next time she logs in, the OS will create a new profile.
