Jan;
For step 6 you need access to an account with Administrator access
No one here will be able to tell you which you have set up as
Administrators.
Go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
If you only see the account you logged in as, you aren't in an
Administrator account, try another.
For #7, the log in screen refers to the screen that shows the
available users you can log in to.
It is the screen the computer sits after boot waiting for you to make
a selection.
