Forgotten user name and password to log on windows.

My laptop recently froze and I had to force quit. The login windows session came when I turned on the computer back, but I don't remember my user name or password, even though I tried different combinations of my passwords more common. How to replace the opening scene of session or change the user name and password so I can use my laptop? Right now, I just can't past the family logon Windows XP Edition page.

Hello Storm27,

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to give instructions on the workaround (hacking) a username and password.

    If you reference in the name of user and password of your e-mail accpount and your account is a POP3 account, simply call your ISP or your e-mail server. They have your balance sheet.

    If you are referring to log on to the computer, we are not allowed to help users to bypass the password protection, regardless of what are "reasons".

    The user name must be in the form of "username@organization" instead of the name of the user.

    If you are using a system administrator, then the name of the Organization should be 'system '.

    I did not use my PC for a while and have forgotten my user name and password.  It is now necessary for me to install software on this PC, but need to log-in to do this.  How can I better log-int?

    The software is now located on my desktop but cannot be put to use; apparently because it is not installed in a suitable place in my computer.  Using the Guest login does not work since the installation of this software is not allowed in the comments section.  Your ideas will be appreciated.

  • FF maintains user names and password. There are saved but do not work on a second opening of FF

    When I started using a given FF web page asks if I want to save the user name and password. I select Yes and they are stored in the tools options passwords but most will not work on a second opening the page. E Bay is the only one that works.

    I have removed everything several times and still wonder if I want to save the UN and PW but again, they do not work.

    However when I type the first letter of my United Nations he suggests the full name and fills the password. So I know that information is stored is simply not provide as expected.

    OS XP Home browser FF

    There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.

    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.

    If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.

    Websites to remember you and automatically log you in are stored in a cookie.

    • Create a cookie exception allow (Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such cookies, especially for sites Web secure and if the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

    Make sure that you run not Firefox in private browsing mode.

    Compensation of the "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

  • When I try to share files between two computers Windows XP with SP3, I'm invited for a user name and password on both.

    I set up a home network with 2 computers with XP Media Center 2002 SP3 1 and 1 with XP Home SP3 2002 can see computers on the network and the Ping works. But I wonder a user name and password. seems to come from the computer. Do not see documents shared to the Media Center computer.

    original title: file sharing problems.

    As far as I can remember, Media Center is XP Pro with additional multimedia functions.  What follows is a very old post by MS MVP Malke, but the Council is still sound:

    File sharing / print

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.

    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  • In Windows Mail, journal on security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password.

    Original title: "Windows Security".

    I have Vista Home Premium with SP 2. In Windows Mail, logon security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password. This happens from time to time for many months and I've always got to work but happened several times today.  I can sign in the server through my ISP and get email. In Windows mail, I confirmed that the name of username-password is the same that I connect through the ISP.  I can't front/send by email but receive in Windows mail.

    Server response: '-ERR [IN USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again.',

    So wait a while and try again later.  You can also go to their website and log on there to see if it works.

    Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
