| | semi-locked I have only one profile on the 3 month old laptop. I start to log in and it says "locked" under my profile. I click on my profile and I go to my desktop without entering a password. The computer is wifi and does not pick up a signal from the router. Also I can not install any software, change windows settings or open Norton Anti-Virus. I click on task manager and click on processes and it appears that almost everything is labeled "disabled". I tried a system restore and windows wont let me. How do I correct this issue? |
