Forgotten password on the computer
I lost my Local account password and have tried to create a disc to reset without success. Whenever I want to open an app, I need the password and therefore cannot make the maximum use of this device. Please tell me how can I recover or change the password. I should add that no suspicion appears on the screen, as described in the instructions. I've obviously done something wrong but am anywhere help!
Hi beryl,.
I want to inform you that you can not use different passwords Outlook.com account and account of Microsoft in the computer if you use the same e-mail address you want to connect. I think you use a Local account to connect to your computer. You can consult the following Microsoft article learn more about Microsoft and Local account.

I hope this helps.
Please post back if you have problems related to Windows and we will be happy to help you further.

Forgotten password of the Windows 7 computer.
Original title: Incorrect password.
My elderly parents put in place a password on their login that they can't remember. They have Windows 7 and I don't know how to change the password, so they can reset it. Any suggestions?
Try this:
- Start the computer with your CD to repair Windows.
- Select "Repair Mode".
- To set Windows to a point before you changed the password, use "System Restore".
- Sign in with your old password.
- Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator . You will need to know the password, if any, for this account. Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account.
Then, restart the computer and you connect to your regular account with the new password. If the computer has a floppy drive, you can make a password reset disk

I recently put a password on my computer and when I tried to connect then it would not accept the password. I tried many times to enter the correct password, but it won't let me. Is it possible to get on my userspace without this password?
Hi rosie19va,
Welcome on the site of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.
Method 1: You can try to boot to the desktop in Mode safe mode (how to start safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode), if you are able to boot to the desktop, you can create a new account from safe mode using the default Administrator account and move all the files and documents in the new user account. Follow the link to create a new user profile and set a http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile corrupted user profile
Method 2: What to do if you forget your Windows password
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-to-do-if-you-forget-your-Windows-password
I would say that you can create and use a password reset disk in Windows Vista; see the link to create a password reset disk: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930381Let me know if it worked.
Hope it will be useful.
Thank you and best regards,

The password on the computer is not recognized after resuming the computer from sleep mode.
Original title: windows password problem
This just started today. When I log on to the computer after having paused, it says that my password is incorrect. Caps lock is disabled and the password. Then I hard boot my computer & it will take my password. What's happening & how to fix it? Help please.
What do I do or what can I change it to something like a real password?
Now that you have at least a password that works you must run your own experiences. You might have a problem with CapsLock, NumLock or a few keys that misbehaves. Change a letter/digit at a time until the password fails, you must point in the right direction. We cannot do this for you.

forgotten password on the administrator account, windows 8
I forgot my password on my administrator account. I want to change my password but I don't know what to do? I can't install programs in my local account because it requires the password to the administrator account.
Hello
"What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8
If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:
If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.
If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.
If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:
If you have Windows 8.1, you need to reinstall Windows.
If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

How can I change the password on the computer when I don't remember the original?
Original title: How can I change my password if I don't remember but don't know the pin code and I know the password to my e-mail attached?
I don't remember the password to my computer as an administrator, but I don't know the pin code. I know my connected Hotmail account information and also the password but I don't remember the password so cannot download certain applications.
So I would like to know how to change the password.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
You need the password to another one administrator-level account, or to the real real 'administrator' account?
If you use an administrator level account, you can enable the built-in true ' administrator' account, connect on it (she has no default password because it is disabled by default) and reset the password of another account from there.
To do this:
- Press + X to display the context menu, and then click computer management.
- On the left, click local users and groups, and then select the users folder.
On the right, you will see the account named Administrator. There must be an arrow down to this topic icon, indicating that the account is disabled. - Double-click the administrator account, and then uncheck the "account is disabled". Click OK to save your changes.
- Close the computer and connection to the administrator account.
- Back to the same page of user management. Right-click on the account with the unknown password and choose set password to set a new.
- Open log on to the administrator account and your regular account.
- Go back once more on behalf of users and disable the administrator account. You want to book it only in an emergency - if something had to get changed or broken in the administrator account, you have a downturn in the future to use.
I hope this helps!
