Don't know the name or the password for the administrator account
'Useful' for my internet service technical advisor has created a new administrator account for my non-it network. I don't know the name of the administrator account or the password and am accessing the computer via a guest account. However, because the guest is not the administrator I can't upgrade or changes to the operating system. How can I find the information needed/creat a new administrator/do prompt the administrator? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS. It seems that I can't do a clean install.
This new admin account that technology has created for you could be the built-in Administrator account.
It is, by default, has no password.
Try to connect to it by clicking on this account > Inbox password by pressing the Enter key.
If this does not work and you can ONLY log on to your computer to the guest account, so you don't have any hope of creating a new admin account, activate account built-in Administrator, or you can use the cmd to this effect.
Remind your internet service, tell them what the 'useful' technician had done before and ask them to help, such as...
1. create new admin with a password that you can remember.
2 delete the one that you do not have the password.
If this cannot be done, the only suggestion that we offer is to re - install Vista.

I forgot the password for my administrator account only.
A few months ago I created two accounts on my Windows 7 computer: a standard user, who does not have a password to connect, and an admin user, that does not require a password to connect.
The problem is that I forgot the password for the admin user and now I can not upload files to the standard user because he asks me the password of the admin.
What can I do?
You can use the account that Windows created for you when you first loaded Windows. It was created automatically with administrator privileges. Setting up new accounts will not change unless you deliberately downgraded this initial account.

Mozilla firefox is my browser for a few years, but I can't find a user name and password that I would have used I want to use mozilla firefox on my iPhone and I'm afraid that if I reset my password it will remove information.
Try the Firefox login page account:
https://accounts.Firefox.com/signin
Use your e-mail address in the first box, and in the second box, you can enter asdfasdf. Then the page should tell you whether or not you have an account:
- "Unknown account." - your e-mail address has NOT been used to set up a Firefox account. You can go ahead and create a new account on this page or through the process to set up Sync: access to the Services of Mozilla with Firefox accounts.
- "Bad password." – your email address has been used to create a Firefox account. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it and that clears the data of the account on the server. (I lost my account Firefox Sync - what to do information) It should not affect the data you have in Firefox right now. If you're not confident, please make a backup. This article has tips on it: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

I can't create a password for my Windows account.
I can't put a password for my administrator account. Whenever I try, I get a message saying that Windows cannot change the password.
I can set passwords on other accounts, just not this one.
All the answers?Hi SilentEngima,
Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com
You can try to create another administrator account and then you can keep the new account and delete the old one (be sure to copy the necessary files in system folders is first!), or you can use the new account to set the password for the old account (e.g. from the control panel-> user accounts).
Let us know if this helps you or if assistance is needed.
Kind regards

Reinstall vista
I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that without assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords
read the policy at the link below
Here are the different ways to reinstall vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a microsoft dvd vista
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Don't know the name of tablespace from source to use in REMAP_TABLESPACE

You asked me to restore a table since a dumpfile expdp use impdp. The source DB no longer exists, so I don't know the name of tablespace from source to use in REMAP_TABLESPACE. The source in the dumpfile table is a table partitioned using at least 5 tablespace for data and indexes. In the target, all the data and the indexes will use a tablespace. Is there a way I can restore this table without knowing source tablespace names?Hello
You can useImpdp sqlfile = xxx.sql
