In short, it didn't work. These are the details:
1.- As soon as safe mode came back on, a pop up similar to the one before came on:
Microsoft Windows
Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.

3.- I followed the instructions to enable built-in administrator account to the letter.
4.- Restarted pc in normal mode and chose Administrator
5.- After some time processing the info, new screen came on, the regular screen when you're normally logged in but with only 3 icons on the desktop and the error message popped up in a bubble in the system tray. I took two pics of that bubble but since I was trying to hurry trying to beat pop up before it went away, and struggling to avoid the glare bet the camera and pc, the pics came out too blurry for me to read. I can only make it says
Windows failed to...
Next time I'll make sure to use the digital voice recorder to record short messages. I'm really sorry about this.
6.- I then waited a minute or two to see if blue screen would come on, but it didn't so I came back to this pc to post this. Then I heard the typical sound of windows restarting, then it had the two icons to choose:
Administrator paulisofi
7.- I didn't do anything since I came back here to post and now again after a few more minutes, I heard the sound of windows restarting one more time. This time I went ahead and shut it down (by choosing "shut down").
