Maybe it's the update that's at faultScratch that - I did an update, and Lo and Behold I got the screen to sign in. (More to the story)
It didn't like my password; so I tried another and another - - -
Resorted to "Forgot my password" so they sent me a temporary one - - -
Tried that and got the "You've tried too many times" Arrghh
Waited an hour, tried again, and finally got signed in.
All in a day's work, I guess. It's not like I had anything else to do LOL !
So Thanks Oldbroad and Marian
