Forgotten password for windows XP, I am the Administrator security mode/cd and connection administrator does not

Hello, I hope you will be able to help me.

I have an old backup computer with all my stuff backup well on it and I went on it today and I couldn't remember the password. It's a Packard Bell computer and I have windows Xp home edition. I am the administrator and the only user of this computer. My login is not your typical connection, it isn't fancy with photos etc. is the old login box with only the user name and the password. I tried safe mode and I can't get into safe mode, but when I select windows safe mode starts up normally and the connection will appear. No matter what I have I can't get in. I don't have a CD to reset restart and helps administrator as the username without password does not work because it pops up saying "unable to connect due to account restrictions. Please help me.

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • Cannot connect Wifi IPad.  I've done all the suggested advice to Apple and it still does not connect.  I need help!

    I can't connect my wifi Ipad.  I tried to off suggestions for Apple.  Now I'm stuck in the IPad introduction after my hard stop and when I get to choose a network, it is not mine.  All other devices in the House are connected.  I can't get out of the set up mode to go into the settings and try to activate the wifi.  Suggestions?

    Because you cannot find your network, the SSID is hidden by the router? If so, you need to select other, and then enter the SSID and password yourself.

    I decided to disable the brand phone and reinstalled Skype.

    I was greeted with a message saying that Skype was not available on my phone.

    The old firmware was in the 200, and the current is in the 500.

  • Ive tried all the solutions that you recommend and Firefox still does not load the Web site.

    I deleted the cache and cookies, scanned for malware (none found) tried to disable my anti-virus, block ad and other programs. That is, works very well with this site, but firefox will not load. I do not receive the error messages, just a white screen empty after about 30 seconds of loading time. Here is a screenshot: thttp: / /prntscr.com/dd1501 I looked through all the options for firefox and nothing that I don't seem to make any difference. I can view the information page and I do not get a glimpse of what I would see when I choose the different elements in the window. It is also a site that I had been going every day without any problem until the last 2 weeks.

    Sorry, I just realized that I can visit the page and this experience for me.

    The page contains a style rule display: no for the body that completely hides it. It is supposed to clear at one point, but obviously does not work.

    To make the content visible, you can run a small script in the console, or save it as a bookmarklet for easy access, but also you should post this on the site in case they have not noticed.

    The console method

    Open the web console of Firefox under the page using

    • CTRL + SHIFT + k
    • button '3-bar' menu > developer > Web Console
    • (menu bar) Tools > Web Developer > Web Console

    Then paste this script and press ENTER to run it. Then, you can close the console:

    document.body.style.display = "";
    

    Bookmarklet

    If this affects the pages you visit often (as a person without an account, I don't know much on this site), you can save a script as a bookmark in an ideal location for use with a single click.

    To implement that:

    • Select and copy the following script:

      javascript:void(document.body.style.display = "");

    • Right click a place on the bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Toolbar where you want to save the script and choose new bookmark
    • In the location box, paste the script, and then in the name box, type something you remember as TradeKing and click the Add button

    To use the bookmarklet:

    Once the page is loaded, click on the bookmarklet to run the script on the page.

  • OfficeJet 4630: brand new officejet 4630 with the problem of black ink and ok button does not work

    Hello! Today, I bought a new printer, officejet 4630 and it included ink cartridges in the box.

    ISET it upward as the sheet in the box said. After I had filled in date etc, I put in the ink (and Yes, remember to check it was compatible and take the Ribbon), then this message showed on the screen and still doesn't work:

    "Problem of ink cartridges. The following ink cartridges need to be replaced"and a black dot.

    The cartridges were brand new and came in the same area as the printer.

    I tried a reset (taking the power cord, wait 60 s etc) I saw in the Hp support you need to press 'ok' to get rid of the message before restarting. I can't press ok. It sounds right. I press any button.

    Suggestions? Of course, I can try it with a new cartridge, but to pay $20 for a new cartridge, when it was included in the box and should work is not correct.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you ar get the error, the "problem of ink cartridges. The following ink cartridges need to be replaced"with your black cartridge on your printer HP Officejet 4630. I am pleased to address this error of cartridge for you!
