I bought a new laptop a few weeks ago, but other half was using it until new Macbook Pro came out, with the result I only got started using my new Dell in the last week.
Other half had set up his name as a user and, as I want to use my name instead, I read up on how to change it but seem to have made a mess of it.
This morning, on starting up laptop, username appeared as the other half's but was looking for a password. Laptop started up without any password being entered. Thought maybe I should do a system restore, but when I clicked on "restore my computer to an earlier time" and clicked on "Next" nothing happened.
I restarted the laptop and things have gone from bad to worse. Now the screen shows the Windows xp logo and says "To begin, click your user name" but no user name is showing. Nothing happens if I hit F2 during startup.
Starting to panic now, any suggestions?
