• Cannot change windows password

  For the last 3 years or so, I couldn't change my windows login password.  Whenever I try (every 6 months or more), I always get the following message is displayed.

  "There is a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to receive this message, try again later. »

  I contacted MS about this and they gave my usual suspects, for example, windows update, updated drivers, check for viruses/malware.  None of this has helped.  My knowledge of windows is very good.  I am using windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit, with an I5 processor in a motherboard H77.  My OS is completely up to date that are my drivers and my PC scans are clean.  I'm having no other problems.

  I asked to reset - MS either manually change my password or to force me for some reason any, they refused to do.  Again, I can connect to my MS account and use all the services, change my profile, do everything except change my password.

  Gregg,

  Please confirm if you talk a user account on your Windows 7 computer or an account of MS [Online] as your question seems to refer to both.

  If the problem is with a user account on your computer, then MS can't do anything that this account exists on your computer.  If this is the problem then I would understand exactly what is the procedure that you follow that generates this error message.  In the end, you could create a new power to Admin-level user account and use this account to reset the password for your existing account, but there are issues to consider before making [corruption of user profiles possible, side effects of using another account reset].

  If the problem is with an Account of MS, then you would be able to go to When you can not connect to your account Microsoft , then reset your password

• eSSO - change windows password - network provider

  Hi all
  
  We have configured the eSSO connection manager in a deployment using Windows v2 as primary authenticator and network provider, instead of GINA.
  
  The question is how (and if) it is possible to change the password in the AD domain to users via the Logon Manager eSSO agent installed in PC. I tried the Windows logon model included in the installation, but still when I press Alt - Ctrl - Del and change the password, I get that GINA known invite and not eSSO invite.
  
  Kind regards
  
  Evangelos

  You need self-service password reset, it's a different product in eSSO suite.

• Correct procedure to change the Windows password

  This is similar to the post http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board=SpecialInterestsUtilities&message=3111&query.id=101... but I'm not looking for a workaround solution. I'm looking for the right way to avoid the problem.

  When I changed my Windows password in Windows and restarted, the first thing he did was ask me after that I spent my finger. He said that he wanted changed in the security of the client system. I entered the password and it erased, and then connected. After the start, another window pops up asking my Windows password for the security solution client. I entered, but this was rejected. I tried again, rejected. I tried again using any password that I use. All rejected. Maj CapsLock and numlock off the coast.

  Fortunately, I was able to cancel out of it. I changed my password to the original and then restarted. The same claims were held, but he agreed the old passwords. I am in control, but with my original password. Phew!

  Then... What is the correct way to do it? Client security rejects the new password. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanks for your help!

  I found a solution in case anyone else comes across this. It may be the best or only one, but it worked...

  (1) disable Security TPM. Do the reset, etc.

  (2) use the control panel Windows users to change your password.

  (3) turn on the TPM secure. Do the reset and the new password asked a couple of times.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
