  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  When I turned on, computer screen said something like COMPUTER LOCK YOU OUT. The unit is on but the screen is dark.

  Thanks for the info on the function keys. Regarding the original issue, it was solved: by pressing the power button for 10 seconds, the computer rebooted and everything's fine. I learned something new today. Thank you for your help.

  Thanks for the comments. Your original statement "when I lit" actually mislead me. You do not light - you woke from sleep mode.

  I recommend that you only use this event as an incentive to find out how to start the computer in Mode safe mode with F8. Sooner or later you will need this knowledge.

• Establishment of an iPad after having been locked out but did not recall what is my Apple ID or password.

  Basically, I'm trying to help my sister in law with his iPad. She had initially forgotten its password to enter his iPad and if she got locked out. I googled how to reset and so I have connected the iPad to a laptop and went through iTunes (without signature). Now that the iPad has been swept clean it is now the scene of reactivating...

  I typed in the country, wifi etc and now he asks the Apple ID and password that was used to set up the iPad initially that she can't remember. She does not know what email address she used and she forgot her password. I searched for centuries now what can someone help!

  Is still connected to the account anywhere so that she can get him? Or she has none of the downloads of the account in the computer's iTunes library so that it can do "get info" on them and see the id? If not already tried it: If you have forgotten your Apple - Apple Support ID ?

  If she can still find, and she was the original purchaser of the iPad (i.e. he not was purchased used), she might try to go to an Apple Store (it should take an appointment-Genius Bar if she does) or try to contact iTunes Support Online (https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html) and see if they can remove the iPad on the account - they are likely to want to see proof of ownership before they could help for example an original receipt with the serial number above

• I changed my password and before I finished I was locked out of my iPod Gen 5

  Today I realized that I had not changed my password for a while so I went to change. I had to enter my current password to change then I tried and got it wrong. The screen displays the numbers for let me try again, but he also said something like a failed attempt. I realized that I didn't know my access code numbers but rather the way in which numbers are connected to each other. I turned off the iPod and it went back in if I could enter my password and now my password I was using before does ' t work and I'm locked out. Please help me! I backed up last week, but I went on vacation and I wish that all my photos.

  If you don't remember the password, then you must restore the device to remove it. You can then restore the device to your last backup. If the device has been disabled as you say, then turning off and on again will not disable the old password, it will remain the same unless you changed it. Once the device is disabled, you will not be able to save. If you have synchronized the device to this computer in the past, linking can cause your power backup, depending on how many times you incorrectly tried to get into the device. If you have disabled it, you will lose your content.

• I'm locked out of my ipod5 that I have not used for a long time, it is not connected to the Internet or iTunes is anyway can I unlock?

  I'm locked out of my ipod5 that I have not used for a long time, it is not connected to the Internet or iTunes is anyway can I unlock? In my opinion, it works on IOS8. Because I have not used in a long time, it has reset and does not connect to the wifi until I unlock, and I forgot the password to unlock it. I tried to clear up my iPhone but it requires Internet and iPod can not connect to Internet ithe, I also tried to restore the 'home' button and the lock button while connected to iTunes on my computer and that did not work either... Please let me know if I haven't tried something or have missed something.

  Thank you

  You have to follow the instructions for the erasure or use recovery mode in iTunes again. . You do not specify what happened when you tried to follow these instructions, or instructions for iTunes, which you tried to follow, but you will be able to exit the mode disabled via iTunes if you do not have Wifi:

  If you have forgotten the password for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple supports

  My HP pavilion laptop G6 locked out

  Hello

  You don't mention which operating system you use, but if you normally sign - on with an email and password (Windows 8, 8.1 & 10), see if you can reset the password via another PC from the Microsoft page on the following link.

  https://account.live.com/password/reset

  Otherwise, there is a general policy on the Forum do not provide methods to bypass the Windows log-on passwords, but a local computer store would be able to do it for you.

  Another option, if all your personal data, etc. is saved, would be to reset the laptop to his "factory Condition" and then set it upwards from the beginning - if you do not have your recovery media, your laptop are shipped with a recovery Partition which is accessible at the start - that is to say stop the laptop, then start typing away at f11 as soon as you turn on.

  A comprehensive guide on this can be found on the following link.
