Your local secedit.sdb may have been corrupted. There are a couple ways to try and
repair it if you can logon as an administrator. See the links below on how to do
such. --- Steve

The security database is corrupted.
Cause: A hardware problem if the computer is improperly shut down or a software
error.

Run esentutl /g to check the integrity of the security database at
%windir%\Security\Database\Secedit.sdb.

If the database is corrupt:

      1.
     Attempt to recover it by running esentutl /r on the %windir%\Security folder. If
this fails, attempt to repair it by running with esentutl /p on
%windir%\Security\Database\Secedit.sdb.

      2.
     After that, delete the log files in %windir%\Security.
