How can I get into Safe Mode when I cannot get past the "Log on to Windows" menu?
The laptop continues to read "Logon Message" " Unable to log you on because your account has been locked out, please contact your administrator". I have left the machine for 15 minutes as suggested, however, same thing occurs. I know my user name and password, the laptop refuses to accept! I have no Administrator details. HELP!


Restart the computer and press <F8> just as the PC finishes its POST (Power On Self-Test) and switches control to the OS.
