Forgotten password, how can I connect?

I can't be the only fool in the world that pass-wording of his computer to have forgotten too shortly after. What I don't understand, with my few remaining functioning brain cells, is how to get my data protected safely. When I ask you, the creator of the software, it says that it is simply not possible fear that all the computers are vulnerable to my bad diets.

What can I do? Throw a computer perfectly fine? Delete all the files that I want access? Surely, there must be a way for me to regain access to my own computer.

Hello

You have not chosen to share with us (we're not Microsoft, incidentally) details of your operating system.

If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of any other connection.

To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

There is an excellent article here by try * 3 for Windows 7, which some will probably concern the Vista...

Other than the foregoing, this forum has a policy that prohibits assistance to crack passwords.

In the case of not being able to access your PC, to back up your files, CD Hiren has a 'mini XP' environment that you can use for example to copy files between disk drives. It also has an easy system restore.

    HP PAVILION DV7
    WINDOWS 7

    Help me please!

    Today, I tried to turn on my laptop and it came to the normal screen where I drag my finger, so I did it and he said I had to enter a password. So I entered my password which I know is correct and it came with an error message saying "bad username or password incorrect". When I clicked to reset the password it tells me that I should insert a disk or USB! I tried to put a USB key and he said that it was not a password change USB or something.

    In any case when I turn on my HP the first thing that appears is the splashtop page, which is how I managed to get online to ask this question.

    In any case, please help

    Thank you

    I think that DavidPK was referring to the windows recovery. try instead the HP Recovery Manager. Press f11 instead and it should show a screen that will show you the ability to run a microsoft system restore... This has been a problem known to us... the update that came out is 32-bit. This is why it is not compatible with the operating system installed. Try this restoration. and block the simplepass update. feel free to shoot me a message if you need more assistance.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How can I connect to someone who is hacking my network?

    How can I connect to someone who is hacking my network?

    Hi Frank,.

    What kind of network - your internet connection?  your intranet from home or the office (and it is wireless or wired or both)?  An ad - hoc network or a network based on the domain server (and if the latter, what type of server)?  The network hosts a web site, an exchange server that is accessible by internet, or also allowed incoming connections?  How many computers is on the network and what are the current use operating systems and who do you think are presented?  If you use a router, is protected by a router security identifier unique and a password (no admin / admin or other default standard settings, everyone knows) and a unique key and what type of security type (WPA, WPA2,...) and what type of encryption code?  This can be verified by the computer and others need to be checked or enabled via the router you can reach most likely through your browser by typing 192.168.1.1 where you would normally enter a URL.  If this isn't the correct code, then see below for IPCONFIG and would probably be the address that you want as the gateway by default and possibly the address of the DHCP server or the DNS server address as well and use what is there instead.  What type of method of internet access (DSL, cable, Satellite,...)?

    How do you know if that someone is hacking your system?  What evidence do you have that it happens or happened?  How do you think that piracy happens - happens through your connections in real-time (as if someone used a remote access or remote desktop) or it occurs because you seem to see the proof of it (if so, what evidence)?  I am trying to determine if a person has a path in your system directly or whether you are infected with malware that allows a periodic access or 'appear' as you are being hacked, when you are just infected.

    Do you notice it when it is real or only later after it occurred?  What exactly is the pirate make - information collection, change of information, install programs, remove programs or information, theft of bandwidth, or you are not sure and don't know exactly?  This happens only when you are connected to the internet or does it also occur when you are not connected and just using the computers and devices that are other interconnected?  If it isn't when it is connected to the internet, which helps limit the possibilities.

    If you are present and it's ongoing, click on start / all programs / accessories / right-click on command prompt and click Run as administrator.  Then type IPCONFIG/all and enter.  Which should display all connections to your computer, and if anyone is connected, this connection must appear, as well as login information and include information such as address TCP/IP (which may be useful to know).  Create a capture image or printscreen of the information.

    If you use Vista or Windows 7, go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing Center / discover computers and devices.  Is there a link that doesn't seem right or that you don't recognize?  Come back and click on manage network connections.  Are there connections that you don't recognize?  If so, click on them and learn what you can about the properties and other information - create a capture of information or save a printscreen image.

    You use the Windows Firewall and is it activated and functioning?  Open and check exceptions and remove the items that you do not use or do not need - by default adds a lot of things that most people do not use. and everyone is a path in your system.  The less open ports, the better.  Do not remove everything you really need, but uncheck everything you don't need (you can always add it back later if the need ever happens).

    It's just a start on what to do to gather information.  I need the results and answers to give additional advice on what to do next - depending on what you have to say.

    Most likely, we will be able to best prevent access or possibly with the help of your ISP and the ISP of the hacker TCP/IP address (if we find the it), be able to identify who it is and stop it or help you gather enough information take legal or security action against the person or persons responsible.  Ago probably pirates out there that can do what you're tempted, but also provides methods of hacking (and that is basically what YOU want to do) is not something we support or help someone to do here.  To help you protect your system is one thing and we'll do what we can to help here - teach you how to hack the somone who is hacking you is quite another and we will not be involved in this.

    ***********************************************************

    In the meantime, in case there is an infection as opposed to a direct hacking, update and run a full scan with any security software you use.

    If you do not have because they can help, try the following programs. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.

    Check the following compliments from Stephen Boots - MVP:

    S ' ensure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

    S ' ensure that all critical updates or important, including service packs for the operating system and programs are installed from Microsoft Update (Windows Update).

    -Make sure that Internet Explorer is version 8 or 9 and implemented to date with all patches.

    -In Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the SmartScreen filter.

    -Make sure that the Internet IE security settings are at least put to fire medium-high (default).

    -Turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.

    -On Vista and Windows 7 make sure that User Account Control (UAC) and doesn't work with elevated privileges.

    -Make sure that automatic updates of Windows are set to notify at least, but the preferred setting is to download and install automatically. If you update manually, be sure to update as soon as possible after being informed of updates available.

    -Make sure that installed applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and Java are at their latest versions. Many vendors are regularly updated and fixes security vulnerabilities.

    -Never click through links from unknown sources and be careful, even if they are from a "reliable".

    -Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mail.

    -Practice safe web surfing.

    To ensure that you are not infected (or remove the suspicion that you are infected which is often the case in such situations and is done either by hackers or may appear as the pirates are active when it is just a system infected - or if more than one, you have several computers connected), please follow these compliments of recommendations of JimR1 - MVP :

    Please follow the steps:

    a. click on the blue Windows logo at the bottom of the screen, then click on 'control panel '.

    b. double-click on "Network and sharing Center." If you don't see this icon, click on "Classic view" in Windows Vista. In Windows 7, click on the "view by:" drop-down menu and select 'small icons '.

    c. click on "Set up a connection or network" on the left side of the window. Select "Set up a dial-up connection" and then click "next".

    d. type the phone number of your Internet Service provider in the box "Dial-up phone number." Type the number exactly as you need to dial it in your area - include the area code if required by your telephone company.

    Enter your user name and password. The ISP gives you this information when you create your account. Check the box "Remember this password" to avoid having to enter the password each time you use the connection.

    f. type a name in the box 'Connection name' which will help you to remember which connection it is.

    g. check the box "Allow other people to use this connection" to make the connection available to all users on your computer.

    h. click the 'Connect' button to connect to the Internet service provider and save the connection. You can connect to it in the future by clicking on the logo Windows at the bottom of the screen, then "Connect To."

    For more ihelp:

    Contact the wireless service provider for more information on how to connect to the internet using mobile phone on PC.

    I hope this helps.
