The support article linked below is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to starting up from an installation disc, you should instead start up in Recovery mode.
If you don't have a current backup of all the data on the startup volume, and you want to preserve that data, then you must try to back up before you do anything else. Ask for instructions if you need them.
