Finder Unexpectedly Quits, tried other solutions, yet to find an answer.

I have a MacBook and whenever I open finder it unexpectedly quits and then the window asking if I want to reopen starts to flash non-stop. I have looked at other forums on this site and couldn't solve the problem. Any suggestions on what I do?

I have tried this:

rm Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist

If that doesn't work, try this:

rm Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

Finder Unexpectedly Quits

I have tried downloading maintanence and it wouldn't work. The person's laptop that is having the problem also forgot their administrator password which just adds to the frustration. If you have any ideas that would be awesome! Thanks for your time.

MacBook, iOS 6.0.2
