net user problem

I've ran in to a small problem...
I was testing out a "net user" command and it must have changed the password
to something else not what I was expecting...what I did was

First created a test account called bob

then I went to cmd on my admin account (not the built in account)

Then I typed

net user * "cheese"

were * is all accounts and "cheese" being the new password.

I locked my computer, and tried to log back in with "cheese" but that didnt
work, nor do * or any other varient or my normal password what it was in the
first place.

Then I switched users to the normal account (non-admin) and the "cheese"
password didnt even apply there either, but it didnt change the password so I
could still log on.

So what do I do?

I can't turn on the Administrator account with

net user administrator /active:yes


Any Ideas?

Download the files and make a bootable CD from the above link; and print out
instructions on how to use it.
