Welcome to Mac-Forums, Ryant34231.

Did you manually rename your home folder? Sounds like you did... It's a nono.

If you did, here's the correct way to do it, Mac OS X: How to change user short name or home directory name.

Might be but, since this comes directly from Apple, this is the safest way to get back to your stuff without it being unusable.

I've read somewhere in here that if you manually rename the home folder to what it was, you sometimes regain access to your files.

No I think you need to do it yourself.
