Can't access BIOS laptop Windows XP Pro system, because it is secured by an unknown administrator password.

I bought a laptop Compaq Presario X 1000 Goodwill Industries. It has Windows XP Pro installed and is secured by an unknown administrator password. When I try to access the system BIOS at startup, it calls the administrator password and denies access. How can I remove this password for the BIOS settings? Everything I've tried so far has failed. Please notify.

If you're at it, you could open the laptop and find the BIOS battery - I think that if you remove for about 15 minutes, and that should reset the BIOS.

XP 2 and 7 laptops can access each other and the office. The office is mainly used to synchronize laptops using SyncToy and share a printer. The last laptop now cannot access the desktop, but can access and is accessible by all other machines.

    Laptops have shared with full control permissions folders / everyone. The Office was corresponding to the shared folders and shared my Docs for 2 users with approval limited to full control for the user. There is no password on the desktop, laptops have passwords defined.

    When Laptop4 attempts to access the desktop, no shares or printers are displayed and a login screen appears. If a user name and no password is used, then actions become visible but the two MyDocs sharing causes an error "you don't have permission to access...". ».

    Advanced sharing options are the same on all machines.

    Depends on the brand and model of your system. When the initial screen, you should see similar instructions to "Press F1 to enter setup". F1 is just one example. It might be F2 or DEL or any other key. You disable and then boot from a usb device. The problem should be solved.

  • How can I share files between Windows 7 Pro and a Mac with os x?

    I have Windows 7 Professional and my colleague had a Mac with os x installed. We are physically in the same room, sharing a wifi connection. How to share files between two computers? That each of them should do on his computer?

    If you display links, please check beforehand that the procedure for the mac is here. I found in the internet or other of the procedures for older systems Win or network only between Win 7 PCs.

    MOSH

    Of course, you can do it easily. In fact, the implementation of sharing on Win7 last month was almost as easy as it is on OS X.  ;-) I find that the snow leopard has the same bugginess of show Windows machines only randomly in the sharing of the Finder section, as it did in Leopard, however. I usually connect to Windows machines by opening a window of Finder and using go > connect to server > smb://Windows-computer-name instead. In the Win7 box, I have the network to the desktop icon (you can get this to customize > change icon).

    On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.

    You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop in Win7 (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this.

    Start > 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).

    You can find options to logon automatically for OS X in system preferences > accounts.

    On Win7, go to control panel > all items in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You do not want to use Homegroup.

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    Configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, Configuration File and Printer Sharing ON will take care of that for these machines, and if you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    OS X Firewall is done in System Preferences > Security. Click the lock to make changes, and then click the Advanced button to ensure that SMB sharing is allowed. If you set up in the share pod, it will be.

    On Win7, create shares as desired. I usually just share the Public, users desktop folder and all hard drives of additional data in the system. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hi Tyler

    You cannot download Windows Xp. However, you can try to repair your current installation by using the Recovery Console. Download the recovery from HEREConsole. Unzip the folder choose Extract the iso file to your desktop for convenience. Click HERE for the instructions to burn the iso image. You need to a blank cd. Once you've burned the image, you will need to boot from the cd.

    1. Insert the CD from Recovery Console in your CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD. (Usually the message will be "Press any key to boot from cd")
       
    2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
       
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
       
    4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
       
    5. at the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line: each line must be typed exactly as it appears below.
