When I fill in the password ( a simple thing of 3 letters, followed by

The user name in that space has always been Owner
and the password is simple, (I made sure the case was correct for the
password)

My questions:

1.What does it mean user name AND domain. What is meant by domain?

2. Is there a fix/work around for this problem, short of using the
Restore disk.

When you boot up, do you get a screen that looks like this?:

If not, quickly pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del twice (as Shenan mentioned) should
get you there.

What are the choices in the drop-down menu next to "Log on to"? (You may
need to click on the Options button to show that line.)
