Product: HP Pavilion 17-e049wm
Operating System: 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.
