what about try to enter into it without password?

Here is how to stop the computer from asking for a password every time:

Right-click the Windows Logo (Start Button) and click "Run"
Type netplwiz and click "OK"
Uncheck "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer."

Thank you for that, I've tried entering with out p/w. quite a few times. I can't right click the start button as there is no start button shown. I have a black screen with my name and email address with the p/w box, down in the right hand corner there is a power and WI FI symbol and characters showing what my key board is set up as, there are no other logos or symbols shown. I can however click on the power button do a restart and I can access F2 (set up) & F12 (boot set up) Thank you for any other help
