HP Pavilion 17-e049wm
Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)

1.  I pressed the power on button

2.  I get a blue dialog box on screen that says "Please enter administrator password/power on password"

3.  I entered countless passwords, they all don't work

4.  I get "system disabled" message with 6 or 7 digit number, which I also used as a password, to no avail.

Please help or I'll just decide to cross over to the dark side and buy a MacBook.
