Al, Log in to the workstation as a local administrative user. (preferably not the user you want to correct) I've also done this with the network administrator. You may want to COPY instead of RENAME the old folder. It depends on how fast you want to get it done, and maybe undo something. In the Users folder, determine which user folder is which. Rename the new folder to something else. Rename the old folder to that new folders original name. In the properties of the folder, change the owner of the folder and all files and folders under it to the new user. Log in as the new user.
