              It’s hard to know what’s going on there by your descriptions. However, when you were getting the error “the file is missing and i need to create one” your MM was working EXCEPT for the config.js needing to be created. In your config folder, there should be a file named config.js.sample. This file should not be edited. You have to copy this file and paste it in the same folder, renaming it to config.js. You now should have config.js.sample file and the config.js file in the same folder (the config folder of MagicMirror). Unless you’ve made some other changes this will allow the mirror to run.

                @sanaa1369 - The screen isn’t really locked, it’s just displaying the MagicMirror application in full screen. If you hit Alt+Q it should give you your command prompt back.
