Hey Bob,

When you get to the logon display,

You need to press CTRL-ALT-DEL at the same time, then you will need to
enter a user name in the top field and then the password below.

If the administrator account has not been renamed, then the username is
"administrator" without the qoutes. You'll need to locate the password
from whoever setup the pc and/or is responsible for it.

Also, if you are already part of the ADMINISTRATOR GROUP, then you won't
need to enter "administrator" as the username. You can enter the username
of someone who is part of that group incase you are not.

At the login screen, type "Administrator" (or whatever you've
renamed the account to) in the user name field, and then enter the
account's password in the password field.
