Ethical password recovery Windows 7
Hello
I changed my password of user on October 1, but by October 2, I forgot it and the tip that took me to remind my has failed, as a result, I am now locked out of my system.
How can I regain access without losing my content?
Here you go:
- Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
- Start the computer with your system repair CD. If you do not have one, ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore. It takes less than five minutes.
- Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
- Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
- Select 'Repair' when prompted.
- When you are prompted, select System Restore.
- Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
- Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

Windows password recovery disk
I just created my windows password recovery disk in a usb flash drive. A file was generated "userkey.psw". What happens if I save the file somewhere safe and remove the file in the flash player. Later, it will work if I have forgotten my windows password?
Help, please...
Yes, you can do what you want. The important thing to remember is that you must place the userkey.psw back in the folder root of any external hard drive in order to to use. You can move back in position using another computer if necessary. Where keep you so far is entirely to you.
Consider writing the password in a safe place instead. A disc of rest password does not reach anything other than writing that can get the password down.

I also have one of these drives you can put 4 holders memory size different from the type used in cameras and I have a DVD player, it is called D drive. Why I'm not given the option to use drive D when I'm given a choice I can insert a disc so that the password recovery disk can be created?Change the assignment of drive letter for the dvd player to one letter other than.

"I lost my administrative password for my computer"
"I don't remember my password"

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-password-reset-disk
Now, if you have the drive and you have lost your password it is very simple.

2. the password is incorrect message opens, and from there, you can select ok
3. once the screen goes away, a new screen appears with an option to reset the password.
4. follow the instructions on the screen and use the password reset disk to reset your password
Change your password to a different user account
If you have multiple user accounts, and at least one of these other accounts have administrator rights, then you can reset your password from the other account. The password of this account may be necessary, then you can check with the owner of the account.
1. connect to the other account has administrator rights

Use a third-party program to attempt to reset / recover password
HP, like most other companies, do not support the use of third-party applications, but they do exist. If you cannot use one of the options mentioned previous then this is may be the option you want to try.
Removal and recovery of password programs exist and can be found on the internet through various searches on google.
One of these programs can be found here http://www.pcloginnow.com/ with instructions on how to use it here http://www.pcloginnow.com/guide.html
Remember that HP mentioned earlier does not support the use of third-party software to retrieve lost passwords, and then you use this tool or any other tool at your own risk.
Hope this helps you recover your lost password, or you read and warning and make a recovery for you disk protect.

Reset password in Windows Vista
Is there a way to reset the password in Windows Vista? I have a laptop Compaq CQ50 Presario. It is old computer of my stepdaughter, and of course she can't remember the password to connect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Bob
There are utilities such as Offline NT that can reset passwords. Perhaps it would be easier to just boot into Recovery and reinstall Windows if you don't have any files not to lose you. Recovery will reset the laptop to factory condition. To start the recovery, start typing or by pressing the F11 key immediately after switching on the laptop.

He left the city. I can't get my hands on him. So, how do I reset it. Help
You list the Compaq model you have it please?
There are all kinds of tutorials on how to do this if you Google it.
The best way to reset your password for Windows user at this point is to create whats called Live CD (or USB).
You start in this Live CD and follow the instructions to reset the password.
You will need access to another computer and download the software to create the Live CD.
There are several Linux-based programs that do this, but I like Lazesoft.
I learned of the Lazesoft Recover My Password by looking at Britec09 which makes tech YouTube tutorials.Lazesoft makes the process easy and you don't need to know the command prompts.
The software downloaded will be also set up and install on a CD or a usb key without installing anything extra. Just follow the guests. The best part is a free edition just to remove the password.Go to this link to read about it.

I forgot the password of windows on my old laptop, how I overcame this problem
I have an older laptop Acer with windows Vista, which went under XP. The PC has not been used for awhile and I'm giving away there but must take all the info from him.
Unfortunately I forgot the password of windows and can not enter, how to fix this problem. Thanks in advanceHello.
Sorry, but Microsoft prohibited information provided in these Forums for anyone who has problems with a lost or forgotten password.
I suggest that you reinstall the operating system.
If you don't have a recovery disk, contact Acer support and they may be able to provide a disk.
Also check to see if when you upgraded from XP to vista, if you wiped the 'hidden' Acer recovery Partition to back to how it was when new.
Do you it by pressing Alt + F10 at startup and follow the instructions to reinstall XP
See you soon.
