Guys, Gals, is there any way OP can use another computer's admin acct, download tweaking.com's Windows Repair All in One, create a DVD boot and/or a USB flash drive boot and run WR(AiO) full tilt? And hope for the best? The next best option would be to find a local high-level guru of Windows and data recovery person and pay that person to Frankenstein a repair install of some sort?

What do you mean by this? Your having been locked out has been the subject of this entire thread.

"...can use another computer's admin acct..." I thought I made clear that another computer, another computer's admin account, will be needed to create the WR(AiO) DVD, which may or may not work. At least, one more option.

I think OP meant to type "it did not only lock me out, but, also, the HDD is filled to the max"

What was the virus and what anti-malware programs did you use to get rid of it?

Converting the NTFS to fat32 removes all permission so you can then access everything
