Don't remember my old username and password
Hey there, you have a question for all those out there who might be able to help me. I hang an old computer me for my children that runs windows xp on a pc. He asked my username and password but I don't have any idea what it could be more. On the screen to connect it also has an ok, cancel, close and options button, but when I press options nothing comes. This log to the windows box is on a black screen Uni, that must be the wallpaper. Can someone help me? Thank you, Jackie M

Whenever trying to install a new windows program gives me a prompt asking the administrator username and password, I don't know how to install a program when I don't have the admin username and password. I tried, tried to run the program as administrator, tried playing with the command prompt. Even to manage user accounts that I am invited with the same, if I am not even given these fundamental rights so what's the use of this product. Please help me in this regard.
Hello Dominic,.
Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Community.
The prompt that you receive requesting the administrator username and password during the installation of any program is due to the User Account Control (UAC). UAC can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.
However, if you still want to delete the computer from Windows 8 user account control settings, you can view the suggestions about Disabling UAC in Windows 8.
Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

Hi Carol_971,
- Did you the latest changes on the computer?
- You have security software installed on the computer?
Method 1
I suggest that you try to start in safe mode and then try to log on to Windows using the default Administrator account and then remove the password for your account, check if it helps.

Hello
"I had to buy a second hand BB Bold 9700 as I broke mine and everything is fine, but when trying to set up my email he asked me ' to access your settings of e-mail or if you have changed your device please connect you. but I do not remember establishment of a login and a password! This isn't my email address he wants, he wants another connection. I can only assume I have configured a connection for more than a year but I have no idea what it is (Yes have tried what I think) and there only to have your password sent to you, but that is useless if I can't give them my paper to the name. Anyone know what I'm supposed to do? I'm puzzled! I have to either somehow know my user name and password or I need to have everything reset.
any help will be very appreciated!

locked by a moderator, 07/02/2012 - has survived its usefulness
In Firefox 3.6.16 (and probably other earlier versions) could force FF to offer to remember usernames and passwords for many sites by editing the file ...\Mozilla Firefox\components \nsLoginManager.js to ignore site - asked deactivate autocomplete (_isAutocompleteDisabled returns false).
FireFox 4 does not use this file, or a similar one that I could find.
The result (FF ignores site trying to disable AutoComplete) is possible in another way or by editing another file?
This bookmarklet makes the browser ignore autocomplete = "off" temporarily, allows to save passwords even on sites that use autocomplete = "off".

Home network connection will not be ' don't forget username and password
I have a small home network two PCs connected via a wireless router - Vista Home Premium connected wireless and Windows 7 Home Premium LAN connected.
I have no problem with the Windows 7 PC, but the PC Vista doesn't remember the "name of PC-domain\username" and the password (from the Windows 7 PC) despite the box being checked. Once connected there no problem access the required records and the printer.
I tried to use "map network drive", but, when the Vista PC is started, the network drive was a red x against it and I have to go through the PC/username and password rigmarol.
The Vista PC belongs to another Member of the family and when she wants to print I have to intervene to make the connections. In my view, that it should be able to be done automatically.Hi WeDontByte,
You can store passwords in Windows that you use to connect to Internet sites or networks. In this way, you don't have to type your password because Windows logs you automatically whenever you return to this place.
1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
2. in the left pane, click manage your network passwords.
3. click on Add.
4. in the journal on the box, type the name of the computer on the network or the URL of the Web site that you want to access.
5. in the user name and password areas, type the user name and password that you use for this computer or a Web site, and then click OK.Store passwords for automatic logon
