So, I recently received a call from a client who had locked herself with a server and needed help.
I found this great tutorial online that helped me recover. I will copy the content so that it is not lost in any way.

Remove Deny Logon Locally

These instructions are for advanced computer technicians. Modifying the wrong registry setting may not boot your computer correctly.
If you are able to logon as a member of the admin group- Start Local Group Policy Editor from Start> Run> gpedit.msc. The instructions below are required only if you do not have administrator level access to your computer.

Prerequisites:

PCWin Recovery Boot CD or Bootable USB

4. From the ‘File’ menu select ‘Load Hive…’.
5. From the Load Hive windows select the system file in SYSTEMROOT\system32\config. SYSTEMROOT is your Windows installation, normally C:\Windows.
