I recently wiped my hard drive clean and started with a fresh install.
I went through all the steps and after windows was installed, the
screen says "Let's take a moment to setup windows" or something to that
nature. I typed in my name and clicked next but instead of going to the
next step, it went right to the login screen. It had my name there but
asked for a password. I never entered a password and don't know this
one.

I already tried booting into safemode but the admin account has a
password I don't know also.

When I try to login an error comes up that says "The specified domain
either does not exist or could not be contacted. Please try again or
contact your system administrator.

Someone please help!

Hi

Have you tried leaving the password blank?
