bought your desktop s/h. How to clear the previous owners name

I bought a pc s/h, but stupidly did not ask to delete it because I thought, changing to windows 8, it may be preferable to use what was already about this. How stupid of me I deleted most of the things, but when I got to name the computer, I did not know, or understand the primary dns suffix. Although my name is there, so is his. Now this causes me problems such as e-mail, however I, m always ok on my laptop. Any help?

If it was on a domain, you need to remove the computer from the domain.

Press the Windows key + X

Click System

Click on advanced system settings

Click on the name of the computer

Click on change

Enter a name in the "name of the computer.

Select the Working Group

Enter a name for the task force, as the "working group".

Click OK

Apply then OK

  • How can I delete the previous owner name?

    My brother bought a used computer from a store.  Previous owner's name is all over the computer, and I would like to remove it.  They do not appear in the accounts, but they appear otherwise.  Is there any method to completely remove the name of the previous owner of the computer other than to do a factory reset?  Down my stuff back here is not an option for me, and I lost a lot too try to get saved.

    Unfortunately there is no easy way to accomplish what you want.

    I always recommend a factory to anyone who buys a used computer. You never really know his State unless you do.

    You can get more by creating a new user account (this is a new account administrator) and set up the way you want, and then delete the original account.

  • I bought a used iPhone 4S and erased and the previous owner had his account iCloud out of it, but I can't yet to complete the set up because he says sim card is not supported?

    I bought a used iPhone 4s to a friend of mine, and they took their offshore and all iCloud account as they were supposed too. It still won't let me complete the set up it says that my card SIM of Fido is not supported, but the last time I saw the information of the carrier when the person that I bought the phone he said 15.5 Fido I think. Do I need to phone apple or what I call fido and to somehow cope? I myself remember having to change devices when using a fido handset represent the last I checked, and I'd love to have this figured out without having to pay more money. Help lol

    The error you see on the SIM not supported is indicative of the device being locked to another carrier SIM card that you provide to. I suggest you check that with your friend and see if this device has been locked to another carrier. Could be called Apple, but all they could do was tell you what carrier of the device is locked to Apple do not unlock phones. Once find you the carrier, you need to contact and see if provide unlocking services, and if they do, see if you qualify to unlock. Once again, your best first call is to the friend you bought it from.

  • How to clear the table dhcp clients

    Does anyone know how to clear the Table of Clients DHCP?

    I have a WRV54G.

    Concerning

    I understand this is a very old post, but since I found it when I was looking for the same answer in 2009, I thought go ahead and give my $.02 worth.

    I have a different router, so it may not be present in your.

    I use a version of the firmware WRT54GLwith 4.30.7 and finally found on the status under "Local network" page a link to the DHCP table. You can click on that and delete existing IP addresses.

  • How to clear the account display battery when I get out of the application

    Hello

    I use the screen push method to call another screen in my application...

    When you use this method after awhile my request become slow bacuase stack display (several frames in the queue).

    If suppose that at some point if I check using the method of counting to screen it shows 36 screens are queued,

    so I would like to know how to clear the number of queue display stack when I get out of the application

    I agree with arkadyz here.  It may be something other than just a bunch of screens on the stack.

    If after reviewing your design, you still need to pop all the screens, here's a snippet of code that will do just that:

    public void popAll() {
            UiApplication ui = UiApplication.getUiApplication();
        int screenCount = ui.getScreenCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < screenCount; i++) {
            Screen activeScreen = ui.getActiveScreen();
            ui.popScreen(activeScreen);
        }
    }
    

    But if you are out of the app, there is no need to do so either.
