Thanks for the reply.
I tried this very carefully but it did not solve the problem.
I imagine the answer is quite simple but I do not have it yet.
I have numbers in the password is that a problem?
I know the password for the administrator rights but I do not recall
creating a user name for it, what is the user name for the administrator
rights?
