  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

• Cannot access Windows 7 PC through the network, but Windows 7 PC can access XP PC

  When you try to set up the folder sharing for 2 computers, his feel like I can go only in one direction.
  I have a computer that is running Windows 7, and the other is Windows XP. They are both connected by a router with ethernet cables.
  I can access shared files and folders on the XP computer, but when I try to access the Windows 7 PC it gives an error message
   
  "Logon failure: user account restriction." The possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, restrictions of time or a logon policy"
  When I go to 'Network' on my XP computer, I can see the name of the other, I just can't access.

  The two computers are not protected by Word and have only a single user.

  How can I access Windows 7 PC to the XP machine?

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Hello

  Step 1:

  You try to perform a System Restore .

  System Restore can return programs and system files from your PC to a time where everything worked, potentially prevent hours of troubleshooting of headaches. This will not affect your documents, images or other data.

  Step 2:

  Now, install the updates in a clean boot State.

  Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Please post with the State of the question.
