  • Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

    Hello!

    -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

    I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

    Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

    Thank you!

  • I chose a password for my user account & I forgot the password what can I do?

    Hey

    recently I changed my password user account for my office but I forgot, so I'm not able to reach my information. I didn't keep it in my mind, because I thought that it is very simple! How can I solve this problem?
    Here you go:
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before you changed the password.
    6 plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
    As an alternative, you can use your repair Windows CD to start the machine in Repair Mode and launch the system restore process.

    Hi all

    Since the upgrade to the latest OS, I can't enter my password in the Terminal. Every day I run a script to stop Apple to steal data from me that I am on a very low data plan. Yesterday I could not run the script for this reason, so I manually closed the process in activity monitor. Unfortunately it is started again and has stolen the breakdown of my whole month. Here is what I get. There is a lock symbol that suddenly appeared. I googled and could not find any answers. I hope someone can help.

    Have you tried just typing the password for it? I see the lock too, but just type the password (which is not) and the sudo is executed.
