    I have locked myself out of my new Dell computer. Entirely my fault - but the problem is...


    New computer, and I had a migraine, and wasn't thinking clearly. As a result, I mistyped my account name and now cannot access the computer at all. I'm being asked for a password that I don't have - because I put in the wrong account name - and now of course when I try to log in, I can't. I've tried changing the password, but of course the new prompts go to an account that doesn't exist. So I have effectively locked myself out of my Dell Inspiron and I'm stuck. * Moved from MSN
