cannot unlock the admin password in win 7 home premium

Password unknown admin in Win7. Can not connect when ever admin password.  There are 3 accounts; 1. my account [Director] 2. My son & 3. Guest account. I can connect to my acct account & son's comments, but my account requires a password?  I have never set up a password.

Your son's account have administrator privileges?  If it does, connect and go to Control Panel > user accounts , where you can change or remove the password for your account. Boulder computer Maven

    Cannot change the hosts file in Windows Vista Home Premium. Read-only value.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Try to take possession of the host file and check to see if the same problem happens.

    To apply permissions to a file or a folder:

    a. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.

    b. click the Security tab and then click Edit.

    c. do one of the following:

    ·         To set permissions for a user who is not listed under group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select permissions and then click OK.

    ·         To change or remove permissions for a user or an existing group, click the name of the user or group, select the permissions and then click OK.

    For more information, see the article mentioned below:

  • Dell your 2161DS remote console switch cannot change the Admin password after updated to the latest Firmware

    Dear Sir:
     
    After having updated the latest Firmware [Dell your 2161DS digital switch, Firmware, Multi OS, Multi language, Multi system, v.3.1.0.0, 1.3 (A03-00)] and restore the default settings. We do this directly through the Remote Console software.  Seeing the log in window, the user name is "Admin" and there is no password.  We can access in the switch, but "Admin" a/c is missing from the "User" settings category. So we can't change the Admin password.
     
    Could you help us to change any password Admin password?
     
    Thank you

    If you installed the Windows operating system without using the HP recovery media, then you will need to download and install all the drivers missing/software separately.

    Here is the link to the download page for your laptop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5273741

  • Not able to see the media server on Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit - please help

    I have a smart TV which has DLNA work.  I can see shared media on a mind DIFFERENT PC Win 7 Starter, Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.  They use the same home network / local, the same router.  It deos not matter if I use Plex or Nero Home 4.

    I checked firewall settings, and they seem to be the same.

    None of the items in this forum seem to help, I'm afraid.

    Help, please.

    I reread your post - Windows STARTER does not include the many associated media
    features, including
     
    DVD playback.
    * Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
    * Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, your videos and recorded TV
    your computer at home.
     
    Do not know if you try to listen to this starter computer
     
    For the Home Premium machine, you should not have Nero or Plex for broadcast.
    The link I provided was to the natives streaming and play. It work
    you? If you are looking for help with Nero or Plex, you should post in their
    respective forums.

  • Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium

    I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?

    Original title: Charles 111

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    I would like to ask you:

    • Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?

    If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.

    If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.

    Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

    Reference:

    Where can I find my Windows product key?

    Let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you further.

  • Satellite L350 - cannot get the keyboard to work with Vista Home Premium

    I just reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32 bit but can not get the keyboard works. I tried to connect an external keyboard with the same results. I checked the disk manager that says that the driver is working OK I wonder if it could be a problem of system or a hardware problem.

    Any help would be welcome

    Try the external USB keyboard.
    If it works correctly, then the internal keyboard works bad and must be replaced.

  • the default images in win 7 Home premium

    Hello

    The default pictures in the pictures in the LIBRARY folder are missing one or two of them, and I want to restore them. Restore works only restores files (which you expect to restore the photos), but it is not. Any ideas please?

    Not sure, but try to create a new user and see if the images appear in the users folder. If they do, through copy and delete the user account.

    EDIT - if I searched for what you need, I just did a search on my system, you should also find in:

    Or at least they seem to be on my system (32-bit). Not sure if the long numbers will change or not and may vary on a 64 bit system.
