• Windows vista password backgroun

  Hello

  I was wondering, is it possible to change the background of vista to windows on screen password security?  If so, how would I go all this?
  Thanks robin

  Hi Robin75,

  Thanks for choosing Windows Vista community.

  Yes, it is possible to change Windows Vista Logon Background. I'm afraid, there is no tool designed by Microsoft for that matter.

  However, there are many third-party tools that will help you change Windows Vista Logon Background on your system.

  You can go to http://www.bing.com/ and background research to logon to Windows Vista.

  Disclaimer of third party software:

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Failure of Windows Vista password

  I don't know where to turn.  Last night, I changed my password of Admin in Vista.  Tonight the password does not work.  I am sure that I am entering the correct password to 100%.  That's happened?  Why it is not working?

  I don't know why it does not work, but you can change it to something else instead. Here's how:

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• Windows vista password reset

  I'm changing my password of windows; I forgot it; and I don't have a backup to enter into the system; I am able to connect using my fingerprint, but sometimes it's problematic way takes too long; is it possible to recover or change my password with to know the old password?

  Hello

  You can use fingerprint access to another admin will use to modify your original
  account password? Fingerprint access give you admin rights, if so you can change your
  with its access password.

  ---------------------------------
  Another possibility:

  Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your account down. APPLY/OK then go back
  and hand it to the administrator. Often, this clears the corruption. To change your password.

  Make another account ADMINISTRATOR FULL with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for repair
  with, do not use regular account, a safety valve)

  DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!
