Cannot change or remove the password for the account.

Hi - I want to change my user account password, but this is impossible. I'm running Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 with all updates.

My user account is the original, was created to windows install with administrator privileges.

When I change my password, it accepts my old password and the new successfully, indicates that the password has been changed and indeed accepts the new password when you log back.

But if I restart or turn off the PC, he returned to the old password, but still remember the new password hint. I tried to remove the password, and Vista indicates that the password is deleted, but after it is restarted the old password is back in force once again.

It starts to drive me crazy, and I searched all over the internet, but could not find a similar problem elsewhere, not to mention a solution.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi HoverDonkey

Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.

You have another user, you can sign up with?  If this isn't the case, create another user and log in as this user.

Change the password for the new user, restart and the connection as long as the new user.  Were you able to login with the new password?
If Yes, then there is a problem with 'your' user account, possible corruption.  Here is a link on how to fix a corrupted profile (user account) - Please post back and let us know if it helped to solve the problem - thank you

  • Cannot change or delete the account

    I need the clouds to the top, so I decided to use Dell Data Backup and Recovery. When installing, I typed my email address in evil. Now, I can't activate or delete the account. Even after uninstalling and re - install, my computer remains linked to an account that would never work, because he has a wrong email address and therefore cannot be activated. Dell technical support gave me a phone number to call (1-866-622-1947), but this number is only a recording saying that no one is available to take my call. There is nothing in the Help menu on how to delete an account. What am I supposed to do?

    I found that Dell is totally unable to diagnose or repair problems with the backup, I worked with them for more than a week on this subject.   The best bet is CLEVERBRIDGE that manages ecommerce your money because they don't know how to get Dell to answer or the other.

    The Dell support of front-line guys said to remove and reinstall the product reauthorize the prime key of course who has ZERO to do with permission of cloud stuff.

    CLEVERBRIDGE customer support is 1-866-522-6855

    They were also to make Dell but it does not appear that everyone at Dell know or care about what happens with the backup of cloud and it is sorely lacking of any opportunity to change, cancel, change, etc. one of the account settings.    This product does not seem to be really well thought out.

    I have a Tecra A9 in need of resettlement, what I like to do for me.
    I have a very good password on the HARD disk which I do not wish to give. So I want to change it or remove it completely.

    Please someone, how do I do? In the BIOS, I don't see that it has been defined, but all what I try, I can not change or get rid of it.

    Maybe I should add that since the original installation of the PC it was years ago and I don't remember not the 'Administrator' password.

    Everything is under control. I know the 'controller' password and have already successfully removed the BIOS password. Smart TPM is disabled.
