Change administrator password when the old one has expired
After a year of using Vista on my PC, 3 weeks ago I got a message saying my password expires in 15 days, that was strange that I had never been asked to change it before. I have it has not changed at that time, and then went away for 2 weeks. On my return, my old password no longer works, and I was not given an opportunity to change, because I guess that the expiration date... any ideas on what to do? I'm now effectively locked out of my PC...
If this is the only administrator on the system account (if there is another, just connect as one, go to start / Control Panel / user accounts / manage another account / choose the account with the expired password and change the password).
If there is no other administrator, follow these steps after you create a System Restore Point.
Use the recovery environment, you can open the registry in the target
Windows Setup to apply the fix:
Start with the Vista installation disc in the drive and select the command line
in the repair options. If you do not have a disc, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (perhaps with another computer if necessary).
At the R.E. prompt:
-Type: regedit
-Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-Click file-> load hive
-Navigate to the folder of the installation target \Windows\System32\Config
-Select the file named 'SAM' and click Open
-Give it a name, for example "target SAM" and click OK
-Develop "Target SAM" inside the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-Develop in the following subfolder: SAM\Domains\Account\Users\000001F4
-Double-click on the element on the right called 'F'
-You are presented with a hex editor
-Change the position of th 57' 11 hex spell 10. (It's the)
identify in the data that contains only a 11 hex). To do this, click in the
law of 11 hex to make the insertion point. Back Press and 11
disappears. Type 10.
On my computer, here is what the data looked like, until I have
changed:
From:
02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,80, d7, 8 c, b2 e9, 97, c7, 01, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00,.
00, 1f, ea, fd, announcement, e9, 97, c7, 01, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, ad, 60, 9 b, e9, 97, c7, 01,.
F4, 01, 00, 00, 01, 02, 00, 00, 11...
TO:
02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,80, d7, 8 c, b2 e9, 97, c7, 01, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00,.
00, 1f, ea, fd, announcement, e9, 97, c7, 01, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, ad, 60, 9 b, e9, 97, c7, 01,.
F4, 01, 00, 00, 01, 02, 00, 00, 10...
This should make the active built-in Administrator account, but still need to
display it in the home screen.
* Please NOTE, the following key may not be present on all systems. If this key is
missed, simply exit regedit, leave command prompt it and restart the system
normal extra Vista *.
-Follow the same steps when loading of a hive, but instead of load SAM, load
SOFTWARE
-Give it a name such as "software target.
-Develop target software, then navigate to the following key:
Microsoft-Windows NT------CurrentVersion \ Winlogon------SpecialAccounts.
UserList.
-Remove the entry in it named "Administrator".
-Close regedit
-Reboot
Administrator should now be activated and able to be signed in as.
======================================================================================================================
Now connect to this account and correct the problem with your password and then the problem should be solved. Create a second account administrator in an emergency like this.
Use the following procedure to disable the built-in Administrator account:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.
I hope this helps.

Change my Apple ID and now all the other devices asking me the password for the old ID.
Using my MacBook Pro El Capitan 10.11.3 running, I changed my code from Apple. We have two iPhones and two iPads. All are running 9.2.1. As I made the change to the ID, other devices constantly ask me to enter the password for the old ID. Of course, it no longer works, but I can't find a way to stop messages. When I change to the new ID, devices of ask a password. The password does not work and I am asked to create a new password. If I do that, I can connect is no longer in my ID on the MacBook pro. At this time, I again wonder to change my password, and the circle continues. How can I get all the devices and the cloud to recognize the new ID and password? This gets pretty annoying, and data is not shared between all the devices for applications like the calendar.
Try to change the ID to your old one, sign out iCloud on computers/devices, then replace it with a new and connect.

AT & T changed their design of the homepage, and I liked the old one. A way to create my own homepage in Firefox using modules for content that I prefer? I liked the modules which gave me a variety of sources of news, finance, sports, weather, calendar, etc... It also allowed me to use a background of my own source. Finally, he allowed me to resize the modules I needed. I would like to be able to replace the new AT & T with my own homepage. Thank you.

The unit 3.1 (3) change of password for the Service account
Hi all
I am aware of the link and procedure on how to change the password of the service account of the unit 3.1 X here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_tech_note09186a0080093f54.shtml#topic2
My question is this. I have 5 unity servers that use this service account in any area, which includes Europe and the United States. If I change the password in AD all services will continue to work with the old password as long as they have not restarted with the old password? I know I need to change the password for each service that uses the account and then restart the unit, but since AD taking so long to reply, I was hoping to change the password of the account one day and then the next day or even longer when I have planned for my failure, I can then change the password for the services on each server and then restart the unit and make sure that replication is complete and the services start again with the new password.
I think as long as I do not have to restart services can I change the password of the service account in AD a day or two before I schedule my outage can I change the password for all services, and then restart the unit. I know that I can force replication, but it would be nice to be able to change it in advance as long as it is not flexible, whatever it is. Even force the replication takes a lot of time in our environment and I want to be sure, can I change well in advance without having a negative impact.
Thanks for your time!
Keith
If you change a password for a domain account, it should respond immediately through the Organization as AD treats this with the highest coastal.

What are the consequences of the change of password for the admin user in golden gate?
Hello
I just picked up during surgery and allows us to replicate door data of gold. Unfortunately, the password for the user that has been created in the database for the Golden Gate has been lost.
At the present time, processes are added and I was trying to connect but it fails with name of user and password invalid.
I want to change it. Do I need to apply this new password anywhere after changing?
Thank you
Hello
Not a lot of consequences, if you have changed the password where you had used.
1. you must change the password of user goldengate in parameter files where ever you had mentioned, as the extract file etc..,.
2. If you used the password encrypted, you must re-create the encryption password.
3. If you used a user Alias id, then you must change this too.
Kind regards

Hi Bill,
In a general scenario, CD player, once installed automatically remove and replace drive XI.
You can try to do this.
In case you have any difficulties or conflicts when installing CD player without removing the XI player, in this case I would advice you to use
Adobe (applicable for Windows only) Tool cleaner uninstall the earlier version of the player and then install the latest version of the player.
Cleaning tool Adobe download link: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs
