Note, you will need to go to Safe Mode to do this: Boot the system, start
tapping F8, when the menu appears, select Safe Mode and press enter. When
you get to Safe Mode, use the user account named Administrator as listed
when you get there. This is the hidden system admin account and most users
have not created a password for this account. If that is the case, leave
the password blank and press enter to enter Safe Mode.
