Create backup password

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

I want to create a password backup disk.  When I get to "insert disc" my laptop will not recognize the DVD player to allow me to continue.  I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit. All updates installed.  I updated the driver for DVD.  What I find strange is that I can use the DVD player to play, burn, and load programs, but it will not allow me to create a backup disc.  What should I do?

Dr. Ogheda,

The option "backup disc" comes from the old "floppy". Actually Microsoft have not yet changed the wording or the appearance of an option diskette in Windows 7 and probably don't watch change in Windows 8. It still reads 'create the password reset disk'.

I actually now added a tutorial illustrated for my site about creating the password reset disk:http://www.winuser.co.uk/50-creating-a-password-reset-disk.aspx

I'm also composing an illustrated tutorial on using effectively the drive remains to change the account password. This should be transferred in the next few days.

This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • I created a password on my computer and forgot it. How to reset it?

    I created a password on my computer and forgot it. What can I do to reset?

    1. reboot your machine.
    2. press F8 before the Windows splash screen appears.
    * Do not press F5 as used on NT/9 x series of windows.
    3. you will be prompted with a boot options menu.
    4. Select the start Windows in Safe Mode option.
    5 click on several self-explanatory screens until the Lécherette familiar 'Welcome' screen.
    6 Note that this screen is limited to 256 colors and resolution 640 x 480, because the primary graphics will have been defined for the adapter VGA in Windows Safe Mode software. You will not be able to change this mode even in the display options, while Windows is running in Mode without failure.
    7. find the icon for the administrator user. If your system's default settings have not been changed, there is no password for this account.
    Safe Mode welcome screen can display some of the other users on your system.
    8. open as admin.
    9. Press Yes to the prompt asking if you want to continue to use Safe Mode.
    10 continue with user settings panel. Here you can change all of the other passwords for the user on the machine. Make the desired changes.
    11 restart your computer. As long as you do not press any keys (i.e. F8) during startup the computer will boot normally.
    12. sign in as the user for which you set the password.

  • Can we create backup files to another folder with timestamp of a file in another folder?

    Original title: automate the process to create backup files.

    Can we create backup files to another folder with timestamp of a file in a different folder.
    My goal is: when I dump/copy the files in the folder 1, saving the same file must be created in the folder with timestamp 2.
    This will apply even if I change the file existing on the record 1 (i.e. If I change an exixting file in folder 1, this change should reflect by creating a new file with timstamp)

  • Virtual PC/XP Mode is asking me my name & the password. I think it says XPMUser and wants to answer me with a password. I want to change the name and create a password. I have never created a.

    I have not created anything yet he keeps asking for a password and display name is XPMUser, I believe.  How I can change this option to create a password also.  My file is listed as XPMUser under.   c:/Documents and Settings/XPMUser I have this file.  Who has my name there instead and if so how to change the name and create a password?

    Thank you

    When you install Windows XP Mode, it automatically creates a user named XPMUser account.  If you want to use a different name:

    1. log in as that of XPMUser.
    2. create a new computer administrator account with the name that you want.
    3. close XPMUser.
    4 log in to the new account and create a password.

    You can then remove the XPMUser account if you wish.

  • I can create a password for my wireless connection, but it still says that there is no guarantee. What should I do?

    I will create a password to my wireless connection, but he said still not guaranteed.  I'm doing something wrong?  I have windows 7 and use an ATT router.  I can't understand why I can't have a password, even if she gives me the opportunity to make a.

    There are safe areas normally two on a wireless router - one is the password to connect to the router and change its settings and the second is the Security (e.g. WPA2) wireless mode and the key.  This is the second (setting a mode of wireless security and the key) will change the label on your connection wireless "Unsecured."  You probably need to review instructions specific to your model of router in order to change the settings of the router.
