Can not connect to Windows 8 on a computer that cannot connect to the internet

Hello. I have a complex version of a common problem. I can't connect to Windows 8 on a computer that I've not used within six months. The following conditions apply.

1. I forgot the password which was used last on this computer to turn off the line connection
2. unable to get the computer online because the only modern it might connect to a fried.

3. it is a Vaio Duo and has no Ethernet port.

4. I don't care about the data, so don't mind wiping clean but I don't want to pay for the office. Computer has no hard drive, so I can't restore the BONES of the disks.

What would you suggest here?

Thanks for any help

Hello

Please provide an opportunity to help Microsoft Community.

If you do not remember the password, you can try to reset the password online. You can use Internet Explorer to reset the password for the Microsoft Account.

Open Internet Explorer on another computer, and then try to reset the Microsoft Account password by following the steps in the link below.

Forgotten password and other connection problems

As mentioned you use computer Vaio Duo which I checked comes pre-installed with Windows 8.

If the Windows operating system comes pre-installed on the laptop, then you will need to contact the manufacturer of the system for the installation media that allows you to update or reset the settings of the computer.

Of the manufacturer of the system provides a built in utility to repair the operating system which is known as system recovery partition, I ask you to contact you the Sony Support for more information on how to refresh/reset the settings of the computer.

Hope that the information provided is useful. We know the results.

    Network connection problem

    Hi all

    After cleanind my registry with Wise Registry Cleaner, I can not connect to the internet. Network LAN and wireless do not work. Windows 7 has diagnosed the problem and says the following:

    There might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection card

    Windows could not automatically bind the pile of IP protocol for the network card.

    There might be a problem with the driver for the connection to the Local network map

    Similar to Wireless adapt. The problem is probably not the antivirus program, since I have only deinstaled and the problem persists. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, but no solution again. I can't do a system restore point before cleaning the registry, because Windows could not find a file that is needed for the restore. I restored again since before saved registry cleaning but no help.

    Any other ideas please. This really seems teribble :(

  • Can not connect to the internet via my router

    I recently changed my dsl cable and Internet service provider. Everything worked fine when I had dsl (no problem connecting by router) but now I can only connect to the internet when the cable modem is connected directly to one of my PCs. I tried to reset the router by default and computers can see each other on the lan, but after trying to reconfigure the router with the modem cable connected it does not detect not the new address ip & dns info even if the adapter is configured to receive the ip address and dns automatically (in windows and the settings of the router.)

    Is there something else in my network installation of Windows 7 that needs to reconfigure?

    Hi Viking_Dan,

    It is really difficult to troubleshoot network connections because there are so many factors that might cause a problem. I'll do my best, however.

    Make sure that you connected the modem cable to the router using the Ethernet port on the router (Wide Area Network) "WAN". Then try to ping the router from an elevated command prompt window. The default IP address is usually something like 192.168.1.1, or similar. Check with your router's configuration. The ping command is:

    Ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    (where the x's represent the IP address)

    You will receive all 4 packets back with 0% loss. If you do not have, so I'm puzzled. If you receive all 4 packages without losses and still can't connect to the internet, then check if the radio for the router matches the capacity of your PC. Your router may have a frequency of 2.4 GHz only, only 5 GHz, or a mixture. Your PC can support one of those, or both. Check to see if they match.

    If it still does not work, try to set a static IP address for each of your PCs, with the IP address of the router as the default gateway. For the DNS server, I suggest that you use the DNS from Google free, fast and secure server. The IP address is 8.8.8.8

  • browser can not connect to the internet-help!

    Running A Dell 3000 desktop with XP.  After a reasonably stable relationship, my browser does not open an internet connection.  I tried IE and Firefox, neither of which work. When I try to open the browser, I get "connection to the 207.46.250.101 site." and then the browser tells me that it cannot open the web page. Operation of the fine to send and receive Outlook e-mail.

    The connection is through Motorola modem and router D-Link.  My office is connected to the router which is connected to the modem.  Other home computers (wired and wireless) continue to work well on the same modem-router, set up.  Comcast tech support was not able to help.  We went through recycling, ipconfig, ping, etc.  I bypassed the router by attempting a direct connection to the modem - same result.  It seems that the router and modem are in order and the problem seems to be with the office or the software.

    I tried to restore the system to an earlier time when the problem started, which did not help.  I have no restore points more early to get to the system restore.

    I got the following message with attemtps have failed to get on the internet: "Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP.  This is probably caused by the settings of firewall on this computer.  Check the settings of the firewall for the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (431) and FTP port (21). »

    Previously, I used zone alarm and uninstalled it, although it seems always on the list Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.  Nothing opens when I double click to open the program.  When I try to remove zonealarm, I get the following message: TrueVector Internet monitor has not been uninstalled.  Uninstall wasn't able to stop the True Vector software services, this will happen if other software uses the true vector engine.  to uninstall zonealarm mare that all other true vector programs have been closed. "I don't know what another program uses TrueVector, or if it has nothing to do with the problem.

    Sorry to be verbose, but it took a lot of time and I wanted to give as much information as possible about the problem.

    any suggestions?  Thank you!

  • Computer laptop Sony Vaio can not connect to the Internet.

    Original title: Internet

    I bought a Sony Vaio laptop to my grandson. (Model UN. PCG 61611L. It is about 2 years. He can't go on the internet. It is not our internet provider so I think that

    He needs a recovery disk. Where can I buy one install?

    Hello

    Yes, I agree that you'll want to contact Sony about this. However, if the only problem with the laptop is not able to connect, then you have a recovery disk.

    The first thing we do is to ensure that you have all necessary drivers installed on the laptop. Again, this is something you can find at the Sony support site.

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/Perl/select-System.pl

    Because this laptop is not able to get online, then you will probably need to use another PC to go on the support site. Be sure to insert the appropriate for the Vaio model number and download all drivers in system on a flash drive, or other portable storage unit. Then just plug the drive into the Vaio and install these drivers.
