Hi @Topdoc4 

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with logging into your new HP desktop. It sounds like you might be encountering a problem with user account management or settings related to your email login. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

  1. Check Your Email Credentials: Ensure that you are entering the correct email address and password. Sometimes, issues can arise from a simple typo.

  2. Reset Your Password: If you're unable to login, you might want to try resetting your email password. You can usually do this through your email provider's website, in this case, GoDaddy.

  3. Safe Mode Troubleshooting: Since you mentioned attempting to access Safe Mode without success, make sure you are following the correct steps. Restart your computer and press F8 or Shift + F8 during startup (this can vary based on system). Once in Safe Mode, you might be able to troubleshoot further.

  4. Creating a Local Account: If you can't do this via CMD, you might need to enter Safe Mode with Networking and attempt to create a local account again. You can try accessing the Settings > Accounts > Family & other users to add a new account.
