All accounts are logged off when the machine shuts down
during a restart.
Those directions are most confusing.
Log into safe mode just to restart ? But you had to do a
restart just to get into safe mode.
I am left wondering whether you are dealing with some
directions that are most excellent in their original Japanese,
but which were translated by some really second rate biglots.
