Solution:- To Boot into Safe Mode as the built-in Administrator account.
 NOTE: You may not need to enable the built-in Administrator account. If this was the only normal administrator account you had, then Safe Mode should automatically boot into the built-in Administrator account.
Press F8 while rebooting OS. It will show you the option, select 'Safe Mode'. Then 

Delete the User Account Profle SID Key:-

Start--> Run, type regedit and press Enter.

  If prompted by UAC, then click on Continue (Vista) or Yes (Windows 7).

  In regedit, go to (See screenshot below)
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Profile List
In left pane, click on one of the S-1-5..... folders (SID key) with the long number in it. (See screenshot below )
NOTE: It should have .bak at the end of it.
A) In the right pane, look at the ProfileImagePath to see if this is the same user account.

To Backup the Registry SID Key
WARNING: You should backup this SID key to be safe in case you delete the wrong one.
A) Right click on the SID key, and click on Export.

B) Type in a name and save the REG file to a safe location.

Delete Confirmation
Close regedit & Reboot the Operating System
.
NOTE: After you log on to the computer, the profile folder you are having problem with is re-created. If not, then try a System Restore using a restore point dated before you got this error. If this still doesn't help, then you will need to create a new account and restore the user folder files afterwards.
