Hope this is an "Installation and Setup" question.
I've searched here and Google but can't find an answer I can understand. (Not computer literate.)
I have removed and reinstalled W8 from my PC. In the original installation, W8 booted automatically to the desktop. Now it boots up to a password screen showing an email address I haven't used in 2-3 years. I don't know the password (apparently I had one for W8 login) and Google apparently has erased all traces of the email address.
I have found a program purporting to get me back in to W8 but it costs $20. I have found a number of sites explaining how to change password. BUT I can't find how to find/change the login password. How do I get in to W8?
