Login. Create a new User with administrator privileges. Now login to that new user admin account. Change your old profile that you changed to standard back to administrator. Login to your old account (now admininstrator) and delete the new user you created. Voila!

Press F8 at startup. Select the option Safe mode with command prompt. Then type in the command 'net user administrator /active:yes' without the quotes. This will enable the hidden administrator account. Then you can do change your own account back to an administrator account as JobCreator suggested above.
