I tried logging into my computer after an "ungraceful" shutdown due to a power cut.. I got prompted with a message stating the user profile service failed the login.

After reading a k/b on Microsoft I managed to re-login to the "corrupt" account by making registery edits..

But the next step (After having the ability to logon) is a major concern for me.. Would the guys at superuser suggest:

1) Carry on using said account
2) Re-install Windows to eliminate the possible chance of a reoccouring problem

3) Migrate all user data over to a new account

and with that being said above. I had to issue the command line:

net user administrator /active:yes

to activate the hidden adminstrator account, would it be recommended/secure to disable the account or leave it active?
