Lightroom Catalog Was NOT found pop up- LRC - Can not reset preferences... HELP please

[amber5F99]

i am using LRC, as soon as i attempt to open up LRC,  ( i was having issues importing photos to LRC and was on a help call and we were interupted and when i got back, i got this pop up.) and i attempted to reset preference and it doesnt allow me to. I hold down the shift and option button and i hot "reset preferences" and then it just takes me back to the original pop up, "catalog was not found.." and asking if i want to quit or choose other.. which i keep trying and i am just going in circles. so frustrating.
