User profile service failed logon. User profile cannot be loaded

Question

In Vista I am unable to log into the Administrative user profile. Each time I attempt to log in using my password the following message appears The user profile service failed the log on. User profile cannot be loaded I am able to access my other profile I created named Guest but obviously cannot access my files. I've tried F8 and entered safe mode but I still cannot access any of my administrative tools. I've also restored the system to the last working day but still no success. I have not installed anything new except the automatic updates. Please can anybody help and advise me on this problem. Bert

Your profile has become corrupt. Create a new user account and take ownership of the data., A simple Google search will reveal the 'how-to'.

I am having the same issues---I try to logon and it says user profile failed logon. User profile cannot be loaded. I have tried everything. Rebooting---safe mode---going back to previous when no problems and nothing is working. I am the only Administrator. Now what do I do?

Log on with the built-in Admin account, create a new account for yourself, and then take owensership of any old documnets from the corrupt profile.
