Cannot access the System Recovery Console invalid password

System Recovery Console insists that I use a "invalid password". I installed Win7. I make a written record of all used passwords so I'm sure I know the password I put in the first place; It is a simple word, that I always use for low security situations.  However, I tried all variants of logics of this password (upper and lower case, etc.), but nothing works.  I loaded 'ophcrack LiveCD' and found that the password is .  I tried to use no password and this also fails.

What can I do to pass in addition to "invalid password" so I can't enter the System Recovery Console?

Thank you.

Hey Ron,.

I finally got some time to focus on this and learned something that could explain the difficulties you encounter!

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-happened-to-the-recovery-console

It seems that the Recovery Console has been taken from Windows Vista (and 7). Personally I did not know this, but then again I don't use it every day! :) So in short, it is not designed to work with Windows 7, and this issue is the result of this.

Sorry it took me so long to find! I hope that answers your question!

  • Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

    Hi all

    For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

    I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

    Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!

  • Re: How to access the Windows Recovery Console?

    How can I access the Windows Recovery Console. The State of KBs Microsoft it may be accessessed to start with the DVD of the OS. However, you provide OS DVD only Toshiba recovery disks. When I boot them it gives only the option to erase all data and restore the original state.

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio F10 running Windows 7 32 bit.

    The reason why I need the recovery console is due to a breakdown of chkdsk which results now it running whenever I start up and hanging each time. Other Articals MS say I can get out of this infinite loop by using the Windows Recovery Console.

    > I have a Toshiba Qosmio F10 Windows 7 32 bit.

  • Different on the MS recovery console administrator password

    When I was with the XP CD recovery console, he asked my password.  When I typed in it, it is incorrect.  However, once I typed in anything, it worked.  I have a single installation of windows, so the first question, which is "what Setup do you access", had only one possibility, of course.  Maybe it was a virus that has changed.  But once I took action, the usual log on screen appeared, and my password worked.  Is the recovery console suppose to do?  Why?  This is my 3rd time only having to use the console. most of them have been guided, anyway.  I'm not familiar with the controls.

    Unfortunately, we do not know much about your system, so we have to endure a round of Q & A to provide the best advice.

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    The XP Recovery Console "must" the XP administrator password, and the default XP administrator password is any password empty or empty, so if you just press the Enter key has the prompt for Password Recovery Console, which usually works.

    The RC will always ask you which installation you want to use - even if you have just a single installation (this is normal).

    Sometimes people may not enter the RC because they do not know, I forgot or never knew their administrator password... then they're stuck - but only temporarily.

    Sometimes the way XP has been installed (as in a store bought system) can thwart attempts to get past the Password Recovery Console.

    If it is your desire, you can configure XP simply do not ask for a password when starting in the Recovery Console.

    If you do a search on the Internet (Google, Bing, etc.) you can find a lot of articles on the use of the Recovery Console.

    Here are some links of Microsoft on RC orders:

  • In the System Recovery Options administrator password?

    Hello dear users of Toshiba.

    I'm willing to use the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" in the "System Recovery Options" (after pressing F8 when the computer starts) but when I select Administrator as a user, he invites me for a password.

    I double checked my Vista user accounts and the administrator (me) is certainly not no matter what password that are bound to him.
    My problem is that I can't use recovery tool if I don't log in as an administrator...

    Can someone please help? Y at - it factory default password?

    Thanks to you all!

    Hello

    To be honest, your announcement confused me a bit especially the part where you wrote: but when I select Administrator as a user. I don't understand what you mean with it.
    But first some basic information:

    Can you imagine you use Toshiba notebook with the settings and someone will make a joke and use the F8 option and reinstall Vista. All of your settings, data and pre-installed software will be gone. Or can someone just use cell phones stolen to get around Vista secure password for laptop and do clean install of Vista using F8 option.

    To avoid this Toshiba has this security feature and each try to reload Vista password OS will be refused. So if you use the password to log in to Vista the same password will be required before the installation of recovery begins. By default, there is no password and the name of the administrator account will be shown when you start the recovery procedure. When you enter the correct password, the installation will continue.

    So much about the theory. I don't know how you do and which account you use, but the fact is, without administration account name and correct password, you won't be able to install Vista using this HARD drive recovery option.

  • Cannot access the weblogic Server console.

    Hello

    In my windows server 2012 I created the virtual machine using the Hyper-V Manager.

    In this virtual machine, I installed the weblogic Server 10.3.6. The ip address of the virtual machine is 192.168.1.9.

    In my virtual machine using localhost I can able to access the console. But when I try to access the console to another computer that has windows 7, cannot able to access the console.

    Check if the AdminServer is listening on all addresses to link or not?

    Can you try to set an IP address to your AdminServer as following in your "$DOMAIN_HOME/config/config.xml", and then try again

    
        AdminServer
        
          false
        
        7001
        true
        192.168.1.9   
    

    Still, if you face any problem, then it might be a firewall problem.

    Please, try the following on the remote computer to see if the port is accessible from the other box or not:

    From your windows 7 computer customer trying to see if this port is available or not on this IP address

    telnet  192.168.1.9   7001

    Hey, I tried to set up the console cheats for oblivion, but it does not work I followed the steps on how to stop the windows media center Receiver service, but even after that I stopped it it won't let me put up the cheat console. no idea what I should try next. ?

    Hi daking9002,

    To bring up the cheat console into oblivion, you will need to unplug the sensor remotely from the PC. Once it has been disconnected, the oblivion cheat console will come just as it would on any other PC.

    I also tried equipping my number 1 access key. It works very well now, I just press 1 and the console opens. To close simply press ESC twice and press 1 once the UN-equip the ring.

  • Cannot access the system restore

    When you try to use the system restore, it asks which file to open it with, which is something that he has not asked before. After that, he does not use the system restore. In addition, Firefox is the same way and I have to use Internet Explorer. Finally, the control panel behaves as if it does not exist.  I don't know if they are related, but they started after my 'sealed' antivirus 'virus' that appeared while Adobe Reader has been updated...

    First of all, if your anti-virus removed viruses/malware you don't want to use system restore. This is likely to give the malicious software on your computer.

    No clue as to how I can extract / use HARD drive recovery I

    Thank you

    Problem is this recovery saved disk image external DRIVE cannot be used. In s manuals document is clearly described that the owner of the laptop must create recovery media. This recovery media can be a DVD disc or USB key, depending on the model of laptop.

    What you can do now is to restore disc original order or to install the clean version of the OS with installation of Microsoft disk but it is also not the best solution.

    What do you think of all this? If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Cannot access the system files with permissions to access EFS and certificate are set correctly.

    I am running EFS on a secondary internal hard drive on my computer Vista Enterprise SP1.  I have been using EFS for a few months with no problems.  Recently, when you try to access a number of files, I started getting access denied errors.  I'm still under the same certificate with same file permissions that I was when I originally encrypted the files.  Curiously, I can move, delete and rename files without problem, but I can not access, copy, or decrypt.  I tried reseting the file permissions, nothing done.  An excerpt from the command line:

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.
