You should use the name Adam in the answer as well as the the question.
He could have used the hammer to break her hands
This is a cool one.
he could have used the hammer to bash Brenda over the head until she became a brain dead vegitable incapable of thinking let alone using a computer
Even better - coulda killed her!
well, hurting/killing someone shouldn't be the answer to these kind of things.

Bang, bang, Adam's silver hammer came down, on her head...
why couldn't Adam just use another computer?
Lol, I like how everyone is judging the fictional riddle character Adam on morals and kindness, as if it's relevant. As for the teaser itself, very strange and obscure altogether. A much more overt answer is that he killed her. Besides, what, like, without the manual she completely forgets how to use the computer? "Oh no, I forgot how to use a keyboard...where's that manual..."
