changing my admin password

Similar Questions

• I can't change my admin password, even though I am connected to the account now.

  Last week I changed my Admin password to something a lot more time with little maintenance, however I do not remember it now, so my question is, what can I do to reset it back to the old. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a recovery disk.

  I tried to remove it from in the account itself, but it keeps asking for the password, I created another admin account so I can still do the General administrative tasks but I like my old account, I actually installed programs only to this account if I'm afraid to log out of it for now.

  I did a test on the admin account, I created and it does not have a current password remove or change its password. I was wondering if I am logged into this admin account, I wouldn't need a current password, but I wanted to ask here first... If I can't change it from another admin account, how can I reset it since in the current account without the collar that I created last week.

  I am sure I know the first 23 combination of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, but I can't for the life of me remember what I've added to separate it from another computer, I have... I wanted to just the two have similar passwords, with it longer, and so it would be easy to remember (which seems to achieve style lol)

  Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you

• I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password

  original title: help please!

  I have windows vista on my acer aspire 5517 I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password... I don't have a dics in it plese... I need help ASAP

  Next time please post in a forum of Vista. This one is for Windows 7. But since you're here:

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• 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?

• Is there a safe way to change the admin password?

  When I got my custom PC built and began working with her six years ago, I had no understanding of the importance of strong passwords. The password for the administrator account on my PC is very low. I said two completely different things on fixing this. 1. it is completely impossible and any attempt will be completely trash the account Admin 2 - it is possible if you use the correct procedure and follow the instructions carefully. Who is the most reliable assertion?

• How to change admin password in BIOS if the old password is forgotten in windows xp?

  Can you tell me how to change the admin password in the BIOS under Windows XP if I forgot the original?

  Thank you.

  If you have a desktop PC, you can disconnect the power cable, open the case and remove the battery (Silver thing small round-shaped piece). then try to restart the computer, you can disable it in the first black screen with white text, it will probably give an error of the BIOS in any case. Then disconnect the power supply again and replace the battery. You need to reset the BIOS, but it should work.

  If it's a laptop is more complicated and you probably need a technician, you will need a few contacts on the motherboard to short and it's not just a deal to open a plate of control over some.

• Receive the Error Message "the user profile Service could not connect. Cannot load the user's profile' trying to change the administrator password

  Original title: how to change a password for an administrator account that does not work properly?

  When I try to change the settings for an account via the Control Panel, I get the admin password, but nothing happens. Close the popup box, but the program I want to open do nothing. I tried to change the password itself on the administrator account, but when I try to log on it, the message that appears is "the user profile Service could not connect. User profile cannot be loaded. "So far, I have not found a way to change the admin password or even that the password works. I tried to remove the program responsible for Parental control in the Task Manager, but it is too safe for me to enter.

• User admin password not working not not after migration

  I've migrated shared Services and the application of our PROD of TEST environment planning using the 'hypadmin' user, who is a native user with administrative privileges in the two environments. After the migration, we can no more connection to the TEST environment with id (default) user "admin". You can still see the user id in Shared Services and it is put into service as an administrator. However, we are unable to identify with it.

  My understanding is that native passwords do NOT change during the import of LCM. Does anyone know why the "admin" password has scored zero or encountered this problem before? Version is 11.1.2

  Although we have another user "hypadmin" administration, we would like to access the default admin username. We tried to see if we can change the 'admin' password using 'hypadmin', but there is no option to do so when we right click "admin"-> properties.

  We do not have the Shared Services database backups, but if restore us, we will always have to migrate security HSS reuse LCM and so expect to encounter the same problem?

  Any guidance appreciated.

  Firefox updated the browser. I'm a symbol of the admin in the corner of the icon (win7) whenever I run the application ff it ask if it is ok for firefox to make changes on the hard disk, enter admin password try to disable or correct thank you don369

  A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.

  Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.

  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

  Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
  • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

  Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.

• After recovery, admin password information with 'points' and impossible to remove or change

  Hello.

  I ran yesterday, updates of Windows 7 but only those necessary.  I do not have one of those as an option.  After the updates completed, I turned on the computer and he was stuck in a loop cycle - from windows, then the admin password, connect you box came.  The box was fiiled in (with "dots" but too many to represent my password) and the screen just quickly flashed back & forth between the login screen and 'incorrect password '.     I tried to change username, and it flashed back into the admin log.

  I did a system restore to the factory settings (after saving all data) using the recovery discs.  After recovery, the screen "Set a password for the account" comes with the box below "Type a password" completely filled with dots.  I can't delete them with the BACKSPACE or DELETE key.  If I put highlight and then try to erase it with BACKSPACE or DELETE, the cursor just moves on the right side of the password box, but it is not always remove the defective "dots" password so that I can change.

  I tried to restart with the power and then switch on again.  After selecting the country & language again, same password screen developed.

  It's stuck!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I have computer I have is the HP Touchsmart 310 1155 - Y.

  Thank you!

  It's curious with a recovery.  First, try to reset the password using NTPassword.  Do the boot CD that him following the signs.  If this does not resolve the problem of signon, think to install the operating system from a typical drive of Windows 7 to the same version, using the key of the COA sticker.
