He probably changed names on the user folder, and possibly permissions. It's not super-difficult to fix, but we'd need more info first, to figure out what exactly happened.

If you want access back quickly, do an Archive Install per Apple's instructions. Afterwards, you'll end up with a new user account, and you'll have to go fishing in the old Users folder to get back your data files.

I think you're better off bringing the computer into an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. They can probably help you out pretty quickly.
