Error! Computer does not recognize my password?

Last night, my laptop closed during an automatic update and reboot. This morning when I tried to connect, it told me that my password was incorrect. After about 20 minutes to restart and enter my password, it finally let me. But now it doesn't let me change my password or delete for the same reason. It simply says that I have the wrong password. I'm afraid to restart it again because I don't want to be locked.

Is there anyone who knows what is happening that could help me here?

Before you suggest, NO, I type in the wrong password. This is the same password that I had for months, I didn't just forget it.

Windows is very consistent. If he'll leave after 20 minutes then you gave the correct password after 20 minutes, but not before.

Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

  • Restart the computer with your CD to repair Windows, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if the problem occurred recently).
  • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).

If none of the work for you, then the cure is painful. Post again if this is the case.

    Hey JDub,

    Please contact Microsoft Community Forum!

    This issue would have occurred after you installed, uninstalled or updated a program or Windows.

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    When you say "unable to set Troubleshooting" what Troubleshooter you are referring to?

    You can try the steps from the following link and check:

    Registry warning: 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. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Computer does not recognize Toshiba external 500G HDD - HARD drive

    Sorry, I use a translator, because all the illiterate

    A year and a half used the hard drive, and now the computer does not recognize it, the TV too.
    In Device Manager, it is there, but says "initialization error".

    What should do?
    Thanks for the replies

    You have partitions software installed on the laptop you?
    I guess that the HARD disk does not appear in windows Explorer, but common partition as the partition Wizard tool might be able to recognize the HARD drive.
    You can try to format the HARD disk and to create the new NTFS partition.

    Another solution:
    Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

    In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
    In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
    You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

    Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
    After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).

    After the foregoing:

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
