can you make a password reset disk on a computer and use it on another using the same operating system?

One of my friends has forgotten his password and I was wondering if I could make the password reset disk for him?

A password reset disk only works on the computer, on which it was made.

What to do if you forget your Windows password

If you have forgotten your Windows password and you are on a domain, you must contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you are on a working group (the majority of individuals are on a working group), you can reset your password by using a reset disk of password or by using an administrator account.

If you forget the administrator password, and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password. If there is no other user account on the computer, you will not be able to connect to Windows and you will need to re - install Windows.

  • Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8?

    Original title: password reset disk

    Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8. The reason why I ask this is because our Toshiba satellite laptop was stolen when our House was robbed. Fortunately the police recovered the laptop, but the password has been changed and we cannot use it. In the meantime, we have replaced the old laptop with a new one that has windows 8. I made a password reset disk using this, but it won't work on the old laptop.

    any advice would be great

    Best regards, Ian

    Hi Ian,

    You can create a password reset disk only when you are able to log on or access Windows 7 computer and after you have created a password for the same.

    Windows 8 password reset disk can be used only in Windows 8 computer where you created the password and not for Windows 7.

    You must create a Windows password reset disk before you forgot your password. You must also create a new password reset disk when you change your password in Windows.

    If you the administrator password are changed and is not a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to change or reset the password.

    You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.

    Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.

    I got a laptop from a former employer who removed the hard drive before give me the computer.

    I installed a new hard drive and you want to do a fresh install.

    The previous operating system was Windows 7 Pro OA Enterprise Edition and I have the product key for it.

    Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 Home and use the old product key?

    and after that I still increases to 10 Windows using the same product key?

    Concerning

    If you have plans to upgrade to Windows 10 Home, I would skip trying to reinstall Windows 7 and go directly to Windows 10.

    I recommend to go to Windows 10 now while you can, because Microsoft will stop the free upgrade offer at the end of July:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • How can I fix the problem when another computer is using the same IP address with me?

    My computer has proven to me that there is another computer using my IP address.

    He said I need to contact the administrator.
    I don't know how to do in this regard. Help, please.

    Since it's your own home network, it means you are the network administrator. Which basically means that you should have total control on who can and can not connect to internet through this network.

    Then, you should have a router somewhere in your House. This is the device that sends the wireless signal. Most likely, it will be connected to a phone jack or cable from the wall, or a modem, depending on which company you get your internet service.

    You need to find this device, the router and restart for it. Do the same on your computer. Once both have restarted, try to connect to the internet. The router must have an ID written somewhere on it. This same ID should appear in your network and sharing Center , if you click on "Connect To A Network.

    The homegroup is something a little different. A homegroup is really just a collection of your own computers, or in your home. For example, if you had a desktop and a laptop, and I wanted to share the files from one to the other, you should join them in the same homegroup. It has nothing to do with putting on the Internet, just the connection of two computers together. It of good that you set up a homegroup with a password, but won't really help you here.

  • Can you record for an object of TYPE input COLLECTION and use it as a table?

    My PL/SQL stored procedure creates a list of employee number and phone record numbers. I don't want to store them in a table. I will pass this list from one procedure to another in my package.

    I created the type (folder) and type of collection (table) using this statement.
    CREATE TYPE obj_emp_phone_rec AS OBJECT
      (
         emp_number   NUMBER,
         emp_phone    VARCHAR2(100)
      )
    /
    
    CREATE TYPE obj_emp_phone_recs_table AS TABLE OF obj_emp_phone_rec
    /
    Thing is, can I use the obj_emp_phone_recs_table 'table type' as an array?

    I.e. can I insert records that in the procedure of package and pass reference to him in called secondary procedures.

    that is something like that
    PACKAGE BODY abc IS
    
      PROCEDURE kdkddk IS
      BEGIN
        -- Insert records to the  obj_emp_phone_recs_table 
        obj_emp_phone_recs_table(1).emp_number := '1';
        obj_emp_phone_recs_table(1).emp_phone   := '0774949494';
    
        obj_emp_phone_recs_table(2).emp_number := '234';
        obj_emp_phone_recs_table(2).emp_phone   := '285494';
    
        -- Pass the table to the sub procedure
        xyx(obj_emp_phone_recs_table);
    
        ........
        ......    
       
      END kdkddk;
    
    END abc;
    If yes how to insert the obj_emp_phone_recs_table?

    Nothing on the net. In the Net I found only where u set normal column of a table as an object type and then insert records him.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can I uninstall a copy of Photoshop Elements on a computer and use the license for installation on a new computer?

    How to transfer a license for Photoshop and the premier items from one computer to another?

    Yes, or you can have it installed on both.

    You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it on one at a time. (multi product platform can be installed on the pc and mac platforms)

    It is advisable to disable the software on a computer on which it will be is most used, especially before giving away or selling the computer or reformat the hard disk. Please see this link: How to disable the software.  This frees an activation if you have the option to install the software on another computer at any time.
