Please read what I write when I'm asking for help. My first post, second
paragraph, I said that I had already tried that and it didn't work.

Harry: I clicked OK anyway with the default username of Administrator and no
password. I restarted my computer and the prompt still appeared but an alert
popped up saying that it was unable to log on the current user or something
like that. So I hit OK on the alert and typed my name and now I'm logged on
and changed that control userpasswords2 back to the way it was before.

So now I'm back to square one.

Do think the reason is because there is a file missing?
