I booted up today, Adm screen came up.. password required to boot. Not sure how that happened yet, but no one but little ole me to make one.. anyway... I am not completely compter stupid, and for the life of me can't get the darn thing to boot. Nothing seems to work and I DO NOT need to reinstall at this time.
As most people, I have tons I can not afford to lose.
As last resort, called HP for support, but alas.. they suggested reinstall the hard drive.

What I HAVE done..(that didn't work)...
Booted in Safe Mode... no dice.. same password required thing.
Booted in Start Up.. nothing I could do from there.

Anybody got a clue as to how I can remove this thing and get on with my life?
Did someone or a virus get in and change things around?
