    MicroSoft Edge wants to open for no reason


    Hi, I've some trouble booting with User/password problems and attempted to fix it. Of course I've made it worse! I now get a message This app Can't open Microsoft Edge can't be opened using the built in administrator Password. Sign in with a different account and try again. Well I can't as it doesn't give me a chance to but there's no reason it should be trying to open MS Edge. How can I stop it doing that? Many thanks for any help

    :)
