Forgot my password for my Dell Inspiron 14r with Windows 8 OS
I can not connect on my computer of subject. It's been a while since I've used and you forgot my password.
It is not connected to the internet and I only have wireless capability.
When I try to log in, it says that my password is incorrect for my ID and use the last password entered on this PC.
I don't have administrative authority and one administrator password.
I just need to go beyond the requirement of password, connect starter. The PC starts, brings me to a page of beginning where I drag the screen (it's a type of touch screen PC) or just click on the mouse and it brings me to my ID and asks for my password.
Hope that there is a work around from there. I haven't used this computer but maybe 3-4 hours in total and it's almost a year. Guess I was just hesitant about learning a new operating system and stuck with my old PC.
Can someone walk me out there in the way to solve this problem? Do not hesitate to contact me at my email of husbands, * address email is removed from the privacy * or phone 615-430-5030. It is the computer savy who try to help me with my mistake - forget my password.
Thank you
Shirley, with assistance from the Ed.

Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista
Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista. It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.
Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware". There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.
I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.
My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad! So frustrating. I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post. Someone help me please! That's four times now.
I thought about it!
Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst. He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left. After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click". _ Yes!
Thanks for all your help, man. I really appreciate it. It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others. Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

I tried to restore my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop to the factory setting. I pressed F8 then selected repair and then Dell Factory Image Restore. Used to format hard drive. He formatted the hard drive and then he restored the system. Suddenly, a small window pops up without any details, but saying "error". I restarted the laptop, it entered into Startup Repair mode. But even once showed error "operating system version is incompatible with startup repair". I don't have my windows CD/DVD. Although the windows sticker is still on the laptop. Please advise me how to install the system on the laptop so I can use the same. Please note that I am in Gurgaon (India).
Thank youHello
Because the computer is located in a no start situation and you don't have the installation disc, it is best to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

upgrade to Windows 7 on a dell inspiron 9300 with windows xp
I have a dell inspiron 9300 and I just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 Ultimate edition 32 bit. I can't install the drivers of my resource cd.
Win 7 will automatically detect the NETWORK card drivers but not the drivers for the wifi card. The easiest way is to connect the network cable to your computer and run windows update. This will update your display drivers (I have geforce go6800 and it worked) and the drivers for your wireless card. So now you have a proper and internet wireless display. Now, you can go to the dell website and download the drivers for sound card for i9300 (xp version). Run the drivers in compatibility mode for win xp and you have sound on your computer.

The DELL Inspiron 15R with Windows 8 is not initialized.
Hello
I bought this Dell laptop the year last with Windows 8. It became slow after a month or two, but I was able to use it. I never installed any Application. I basically used it to watch movies and Email. Last week when I said booted.it 'Check media' and did not start at all.
I checked on the Web site and ran the diagonstic test - all shows good. what I really need to reset this laptop to factory default settings.
My doubt is that... Probably my Anti Virus would have expired, and it is the reason for all this trouble. Can I buy Norton or Kaspersky Antivirus and install it if my laptop is restored to the default factory settings.
Thank you
Bernadette
Hi JLCoverdell,
Thanks go to the forum. In fact, it does not matter where you purchased the computer. All features will be the same and the steps are the same for restore the default computer. Yes, we can also restore the computer through windows operating system if the computer is able to boot. -
