• I get the windows login screen and I do not know the password for administrators

  I accidentally deleted my account and when the computer starts and I get the windows login screen and I do not know the administrators password. Also how can I reinstall windows when I got a disc when I brought my laptop. Thank you, Lorraine

  Thanks for getting back to me. I sold my old laptop to my son-in-law, and he asked me to remove my name from the computer off so that my name wasn't on the screen all the time. so I deleted the profile of cook of lorraine and made one for him, but I didn't give it a password. then I realized what I had to do (I got Lorraine where time is on the bottom of the screen), but was unable to highlight to remove it without a mouse. so I plugged a mouse, but the computer does not read, then I restarted the computer. When I restarted, all I could get was the windows login screen.

  then I typed in the name son-nlaws and they said that he was kidnapped, tyoed in mine and got the same and then typed in Administrator, but did not know the password. I have since reinstalled windows. XP Professional would not install saying a file was missing, so I installed xp family and is working again. He just has to click on what edition it wants to run. Professional XP of course happen just with the display of connection... but it can use again.
  Thank you once again, Lorraine

  Hello

  You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

  Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• I bought a used computer and do not know the password to unlock

  I bought a used computer. I don't know the password. The password can be removed and mine used to unlock? The former owner is not available.

  Best to make a/Clean Custom installation of XP. Never can tell what the unwanted (like viruses) may exist.

  (1) Note the make and model of your computer.

  (2) check that the 25-character product key is always fixed to the case or at the bottom of your laptop.

  3) go to the support of the manufacture web site and know what "F" key, you will need to press on when the computer starts, run a reinstallation of XP (or use the recovery media if you have a).

  (4) reinstall XP and create a new user account. Note: If you use the support CD of 'Recover' you will need to re-enter the product key to activate Windows.

• (Redirected) Do not accept the password when connecting

  Have a Dell laptop 15 3520 running Windows 8.1 have been logging in fine and all of a sudden it will not recognize the password. System is configured to connect by using the account of Microsoft and no password. Now, he starts asking a password and can't log into Windows at all. I went to another computer and connected to the Microsoft account and changed the password, but when I return to the locked computer it does not accept the new password either. Do not wipe and reload Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 again.

  If this password has been defined by any other then there is no way to pass without entering the password. If this phone is your the and there the set password so if you enter 10 incorrect password (by default) it will wipe the device. So best offer is to enter the wrong password it will wipe the device and it will be like new.

• My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen will not change, we do not know the password or have we not the reset disk, how can connect to reset password

  My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen displays the dell logo and says that I need the master password or administrator, my son can't remember and we do not have the reset disk, is it possible to get and reset the password or enter the system

  If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of your normal connection.

  To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

  If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

• iPhone has old Apple ID and we do not know the password

  My friend is one of 94 and has an iPhone to MacBook Pro and iMac.  Here course Apple ID and password are used on its App store, iMac and MacBook Pro. Everything is very good.

  Problem is the iPhone has an old Apple ID it's [email protected] it doesn't have the password.  I tried everything short of a complete wipe/reset.

  Other solutions?  (She can't receive email aol of the former for the same reason, I forgot the password.

  You may be able to change the Apple here ID

  Reset of the iPhone won't work - it'll still be hooked on the lock activation - it is what the Apple ID has been designed - in other words turning off the Find iPhone requires that you know their Apple ID and be able to provide the password

  If the above does not work and you have proof of purchase - you might be able to bring it to an Apple store for them reset the phone.
