when it asks for the password, just hit enter. As long as you didn't set a password, that should work.

chkdsk /r

reboot.

probably due to a hard reboot/shut down which is common on laptops.

Your blue screen of death probably says something about missing some registry file, and then dumping memory to cache.

9/10 that solves the problem.
