I tried to schedule tasks, and found out I needed an
admin password, but don't know what it is....so I started
looking around...

eventually, messed things up I think.

Now, I start my CPU and after the HOME EDITIONS black
screen disappears, the blue screen either just sits there
trying to start and nothing happens or sometimes the
logon in popup message pops in and tells me it is unable
to log me in due to account restrictions....

I think I have to take off the entire program and reload
it?

Can you tell I am nieve about computers?

Thanks, Brenda, las vegas
