If you are successfull, you can create a new user account (Computer Administrator privileges) and delete the problematic one. Post back with the results..........

If you choose domain, you get what you got. Make sure you tell it you are NOT joining a domain. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Why can't login after installing??
