Product: HP Notebook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)
My screen has been stuck on Administrator for 2 days. I turn it off and back on and still the same thing. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi,
Are you referring to the windows log-on screen or a power on password screen which appears immediately after powering on?

Hi,
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out for the moment ), start the notebook - hit enter 3 times and you should receive a 'halt code' - post back with this code.
