But my brother logged into my account using my password, created Guest account and gave administrator status to guest account and now I cannot change anything …………….cannot change guest admin to standard or Manoj standard to Admin…….i tried even command netplwiz……….but its of no use….kindly help me out.
Many Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Manoj

^^That seems to be the matter.
Log into System administrator account using safe mode (and pwn his account:D) and just increase your account's level to admin and then change his account back to guest!

A tip: NEVER EVER give away your password to ANYONE! Even the kin hack to tease! Believe me, you won't wanna face humiliation when some brother or sister pwns your account and then starts jumping up on your head!
