For some reason, my laptop does not accept my password that I used for years. How can I bypass the password and be able to log in, so I can restore the password?

The last time I used my cell phone he has worked. Now when I try to log on to my laptop, it sends me an error message that your password is invalid and I cannot open a session.  My grandchildren love enter my office and play with my computer and I think that this could happen. No evidence!  Can you help this old

grandpas recover his laptop running.  I use Windows XP Professional. The computer is Aspire 4730Z and is about 4-5 years of age.  Thank you!

Note: Only you should be able to access your user profile. Your grandchildren need to use the ONLY guest account!

    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  • I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

    Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

    I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

    If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

    Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

  • Password Manager does not accept my password to win

    Hi, I reinstalled my system Win XP (reinstalled - restore factory restore point) and using the same password for my account in XP I used before. But password manager does not accept my password more.

It is said immediately that he didn't, but when I type the correct password to my login to Win that he continues to deal with for a while, but then he said that he could not.

    When I login as an administrator and try it... everything is OK. but in my profile is not...

    Hi Steve,

    Please excuse my late reply, but I am currently very busy and not at home.

    Yes, 'shutdown' meant turn off .

    The need to restore the keys seems to me as if all of the key information have been removed. Maybe there is some key information that remains after the uninstall process, and these are retrieved later during the new installation. During my process any key information have been recovered so far here.

    Are you sure, be connected as "LENOVO - BC8C81F0\Administrator. The name of the computer looks as if it was a random name. If your computer now has a different name. Maybe you have to change the name of the computer.

    I also feel that CSS is not very accurate in finding the right user and user profile folder.

    Sorry, if uninstalling and cleaning of different locations does not help you. If the problem is related to different account of your administrator account ID, I can't help you. It is a problem well beyond my capabilities of Windows.

    Good luck!

  • Installer does not accept my password

    Ive tried to install software for music on my macbook pro, but when it comes to enter the password to access icloud to actually start installing it does not accept my password. Signed cloud online with no problem, so I changed my password, is out of the installer and tried the process again but made no difference.

    Did I miss something blatantly obvious? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    The installation of the software usually requires the password that you use to connect to your MacBook, not the password to iCloud.
