Empty password Mode not safe & is not known

I have a PC running XP Pro SP3 spare of second hand. I need to take via Safe Mode, but the Admin account will accept not empty and all the other possible passwords are not known, as I did not put everything.

How to get the stored password (?) and how it is adjustable back empty, as it should.

My Admin user account does not have a password, so initialize by normal means is not a problem.

Due to the amount of data on this pc I don't want to reinstall, and as I do not have the original CD, I can't do a repair.

    Microsoft cannot help you recover the passwords of the files and Microsoft who are lost or forgotten product features.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Clean install of Vista:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash when you're facing up and running again.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Hello

    As you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

  • Passwords do not forget

    Hi, this is a strange... I checked all the settings of security according to the related articles and my passwords should have saved. When I check my saved passwords, the list is empty. I'm being invited to confirm that I wish to save passwords, but when I click on the box 'Remember password' does not clear the dialog box. It seems that my confirmation is not really asserted, even if I'm clicking the button. I have just changed laptops and have imported my profile... I suspect a problem in this area, but I don't know what to try next. I hope you can help! Thank you

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the version of the operating system that you are using?

    I suggest that you try following the steps mentioned below, that if you use Windows Vista and Windows 7 and check to see if it helps.

    Step 1: Check in SafeMode with network.

    You can also check if the problem persists in safe mode with network and check.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    If you are able to see the start icon, then executes the method 2.

    Step 2: Perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error message, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Hello

    You can try the following.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  If windows will load in this mode, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours prior to the issue of logon and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart as normal in order to check if you can now connect correctly.

    Another option if the above does not help is as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Start using last good known Configuration" and press ENTER.

  • Unable to connect to the computer because the password is not be accepted.

    Hello

    So yesterday, I decided to put a password on my pc (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit), but when I turned on my pc today, he immediately said that I have to enter a user name and a password first.

    But I did have the chance to fill in anything but it was weird.

    Anyway, I pressed OK and it sent me to the login screen.

    All of a sudden there is 2 users, instead of one, but none of them was my account.

    They both had no name or avatar so they were square just empty, and they're all two protected by Word.

    My password does not work on both accounts, so I can not connect. I tried to get with Safe Mode, but even then he asked me a password!

    I have a few projects out there that need to be finished and send it within 2 weeks so I really need these files.

    I don't mind if I have to format my whole hard drive, but is it possible to go beyond the login screen?

    Or just a way at least to get some files?

    All advice is appreciated!

But I don't really use Add-ons that could prevent firefox to save passwords. I disabled all add-ons and ran firefox in normal mode, but the password manager does not work yet. Please keep in mind that I tried everything and that any post not published so far describes a similar problem to mine case. Consider that I have the same I have configured the entire system from the beginning. The problem appeared again from the first time I launched firefox.

    Hi all

    My Satellite P200D has Vista Premium o/s, was about 5 years old now

    Has worked well enough until the last of three months or more and developed a problem of restart.

    Hit restart button and it stops, then after several attempts get it at startup and on the screen that shows the internal PC Repair or Normal startup mode option. The only way that I can get to the login screen is to click on Normal mode as the automatic repair option does not work.

    Has decided to switch to Win7 to see if that would solve the problem.

    Now there is another problem, and it's the login admin password screen. The cursor flashes and any attempt to type password does not visibly show the words you type.

    Also tried and external usb keyboard does no difference

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hello

    Looks like something to configure your PC to try to use a resolution not supported by your monitor. If this is the case it should help you working again.

    First of all, 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.

    In safe mode, log under an administrator account, then...

    • Click Start
    • Click on run
    • Type devmgmt.msc and press enter
    • Expand the section Dsipaly cards (click on +)
    • Right click list adapters all in turn, then click on uninstall
    • Restart your PC

    During the restart of your PC you should get is no longer 'mode not supported '. Your graphics card must be redetected and drivers installed automatically. If you receive warnings about having not tested properly for Windows device driver, ignore the warning and accept the driver for installation. The items displayed on the screen may appear too large, if that's the case...

    • Right-click and empty part of your desktop and then click Properties
    • Click on the settings tab
    • Move the resolution slider all the way to the right
