Admin Account and User Profile Passwords Not Working

I have 2 user accounts on my computer, 1 is mine and the other my
boyfriends. I also have an administrator account, which is me, with the
same password as my user account.

I cannot access my user account. I type in the password and it says
THE USER PROFILE ACCOUNT FAILED TO LOGIN so I have been using my
boyriends user account. But whenever the User Account Control box
appears asking for an administrator password I type in the password but
either nothing happens or it comes up with an error message saying
WINDOWS CANNOT FIND "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\RSTRUI.EXE". MAKE SURE YOU
TYPED THE NAME CORRECTLY, AND THEN TRY AGAIN.

I've tried deleting my user profile and various other things but it
always asks for an Administrator password so I literally cannot do
anything and it's driving me mad!!!!! Please help!!
