Stuck on background image without login-unable to reboot or power off
I have an HP Pavillion 2.0 hybrid which is currently stuck on a stock image that should appear behind the login prompt. However, no login prompt appears, and there is no shut down/re-start button visible. Holding down the power button on the side of the machine causes the screen to flicker briefly, but the machine does not shut down. When I swipe or touch the screen the time and date appear and disappear, but I still don't get a login box or a restart button (only the battery life and wifi strength images are visible). How can I re-boot if I can't shut down? Ctrl-Alt-Del won't work.
