XP Home logon problem

A client of mine has a similar problem but I think she has been "hacked". Her PC refuses to let me logon (Local policy does not permit ...) and I cannot therefore get into the machine at all to fix the problem. I suspect a hacker has got in through terminal services and messed up the local policy settings. The machine is running XP Home. The only solution so far is to install a second version of WinXP and reinstall everything else - painful. If anybody out there has a better solution, I'd really appreciate it! Incidentally, I've tried opening in safe mode, but I still get turned back at the point of login.

Many thanks
