When I start up I get the message "This computer is in use and has been locked" "Only pc-01/(my name) or an administrator can unlock the computer" Then get a screen with user name ( mine filled in) and below password (is blank)
If I click on ok it all opens up but am unable to open existing files in word etc. They are all marked "unavailable"
Do not know how I have done this but need to get thus sorted. Any help appreciated
restart your computer in safe mode
log in as the administrator no password is needed
go to the account manager and change the passwords to what you know
restart your computer in normal mode and change what ever you like.
