That's the problem. the main "Administrator" is disabled and it has a
password on it as well. I know the password but need to re-enable the
account. Is there something in the registry I can do reset?

I'm able to boot off a cd like BartPE for example and can get into a
dos prompt and/or the registry. Just need to know what I can reset?
Thanks!!

Do as Mr. Zieglar suggested and boot into Safe Mode. Booting into Safe
Mode will temporarily enabled the built-in Administrator account again
for just that session.
