Cannot use my password for laptop

I have been using the same password. I closed my laptop and after eight hours, it wouldn't let me not use the same password that I used earlier. After that I used my password of my Microsoft account it worked. And it wouldn't let me use my old password more even if I didn't change it. How can I change my old password?

If you have logged into your account (required to use app store app, system backup, synchronization, etc), then your password will always be your Microsoft Account password.

If you do not use this password, you can go to settings PC Soft, under accounts/Sign-in Options and choose to use a PIN or other method to unlock.

Or you can unlink your account completely, but then you lose your backups, synchronization settings, apps and more.

  • Cannot set the password for user connection in Vista Home Basic

    My laptop (running Vista SP2) has no password on the user account. Guest account is disabled and my user account is administrator.

    I would like to add a password to secure my PC a little more by doing the following:
    AutoScan (Vista Orb) > Control Panel > user accounts > create a password for your account
    I enter a password to 10 characters. I tried more or less characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers etc, but everything I try I get the following message:

    "The password you entered does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

    Any ideas what to do here? I tried searching online and through this forum but have been unable to find someone who had the same problem, and even less it is solved!

    I ran Microsoft Security Essentials software, choose scan "Full". The software found no viruses or malware on my computer, but he did put in quarantine RealVNC (software remote access we use occasionally to work).

    I have created a screenshots of system information (to show which operating system I use), the dialogue 'create password for your account' (to show that I am logged on as administrator and to make sure that I do not have the process wrong--always possible!) and the error message "user account control panel.

    Computer info here

    I also took a screenshot of the thing that MSE found after analysis is complete on my system.

    I solved this problem!

    The problem was caused by HP - something that was installed on my laptop security manager because I bought - I never used and had no idea he was running. I discovered this when I decided to upgrade my operating system to Windows 7. I was running a tool to check if the software I had installed is compatible for the upgrade; It turns out that the HP Security Manager is not compatible with W7, and when I uninstalled it I followed a hunch that it might interfere with my account - tried by adding a password and he succeeded!

    I was also able to install Sophos and it works properly now.

    I've always upgraded to Windows 7 in the end, but it was nice to be able to solve this problem (even if it took me Age to understand!) Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

    I haven't done my recovery disks on my Windows laptop, 8 yet and I forgot my password for my laptop! I tried everything, help!

    Hello

    Sorry, but the political forum do not allow any information for the recovery of passwords. This is necessary because of the anonymous nature of these forums.

    If you have another administrator account, you can log in with that account and change the password of the account where you have forgotten the password.

    If you do not have another administrator account, you can use a password reset disk, if you have created a.

    If you do not have one of these options, your best solution is to take the computer to a local computer repair shop and ask them to retrieve the password for you.

    Unfortunately, beyond that we can not help you. Please review the following policies for these forums and Microsoft.

  • Cannot access the password for administrator on Win7, how can we access this account?

    There are two accounts on this computer. An administrative and standard user.

    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    I can access the standard user account, but I can't change the administrative password because his account not administrative and I do not know the password on the admin account.
    How can I either change the standard user to admin user without having need of the admin password or how can I access the administrator account?
    The admin account is my main account with everything I need.
    His family win7 premium is a desktop computer.
    I, also, don't have Internet. The only internet I have is on my mobile phone with limited data.
    This is why I can't download anything to help.
    Help or knowledge is much appreciated.
    Thank you
    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    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 (works only if you have created a hint 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 use the installer for Officejet 6500 all-in-one because of the resolution of the screen

    Hello

    I thought I could install my new Officejet 6500 as a printer network during the weekend, but apparently, HP had a different opinion...

    I use a netbook for my work as I travel a lot. Unfortunately, the screen resolution max available for these computers to wide screen is "limited" to 1024 x 576, which is less than the minimum required by the installation software (800 x 600), so I can't just install drivers and software. I tried to download the drivers from the HP support site, but ran into the same problem again.

    I'd appreciate any help I don't have a desktop or a laptop with a ratio of the 'normal' view and I'm stuck with a machine that is "useless"...

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Yes. When you get to the window system requirements check, click the button cancel while now the keys Ctrl + Shift. It will bypass the sys. Req. check and continue with the installation. You may need to do this several times for the installation to continue.

  • Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

    Hello

    I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

    BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

    Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

    Hi, ctenorman

    I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

    Good luck and let me know how it goes

  • Cannot use the Cloud for photos, graphics or video.  What now?


    I work for a federal agency that has a bunch of aging products Adobe.  All must be updated.  We are not allowed to use cloud anything for this requirement.  What choices do we have?  Must install the software locally and maybe have a site license.  Are there options other than by using the cloud?  THX.

    Adobe still sells products CS6 if what you have is older than that... If not, CS6 is going until you hit the cloud.

    You must contact the Support from Adobe directly to see what options are available to you for the licenses.

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    If you use a Microsoft Account to sign in, you can use different PC and reset your password from Microsoft

    If you use a Local account, then... you're not so much chance unless you yourself gave a very good "index" on which you can rely to help remember you the password.

    You could, if you wish, reinstall the system - that is to say, perform a full recovery.  Nobody likes it.  Bleh.  All that work, you must save EVERYTHING, reinstall everything, you may lose something...

    ============================================================================

    Regardless of anything else, you can protect yourself by creating an account additional space with administrator privileges.

    Create a user account with administrative privileges - Windows 8 - 8.1

    The extra account is your insurance if you get without access to fingerprint of your system.

    If you can not recover the password, you can eventually move the new account and abandon the account for which you have no password.  If you do this, make sure that you create another account of 'safe house'
