Have you tried creating a new user?
Why don't you try that and once you log in as the other user, delete the other one that's giving you problems.
i cant create new user,cos the account is standard..i cant even unlock my system preferences..

You're gonna have to erase your drive and reinstall Lion. Re-boot while holding down Command + R. Use disk utility to erase your drive, then reinstall Lion.
NO other options?
Cos i dont wanna loose my doc and setting
here is the picture
No.
You've hosed your system. The only way, I'm aware of, to fix this is to erase & reinstall. If you have a backup, you can use that. No backup? Well, you've learned a valuable lesson.
how can i keep my setting and files?
or will lost my setting too?
If you don't have a backup, you will lose everything. You can "try" backing up now, but given what you've done, I don't know whether it will work or not.
My mac show me as standard user only
