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".

  • 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

    Original title: Log-in question

    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.

  • How to register more than one user name and password for a Web site?

    First of all, let me say that I am extremely irritated that I just spent 15 minutes written a very detailed question and researching my OS, browser version, etc., as all have cleared because I don't "check" my e-mail address before I started typing my question. Firefox: correct your registration and the issue of the accounting process so that this happens. He should keep your info for a smooth running of the process, after checking. What a waste of time and effort when I'm already frustrated.

    REAL QUESTION: I managed two calendars online under a single root URLS (www.samplepage.com/calendar1 and www.samplepage.com/calendar2). My e-mail address is the user for both accounts ID, but passwords are different.

    FF used to associate ALL of the URL of your user name and password, but now it combines only the root (www.samplepage.com). So, for me, will remember only one password.

    How can I get to remember TWO passwords?

    Thank you!

    This is not possible with the Firefox password manager. You can only save a user name and password once for a specific field, so if the name is the same then it does not work.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    "Please provide the necessary information on the server vCenter Server below.  VSphere VMware Update Manager will need this information to connect to vCenter Server on startup"

    If I used admin@system-domain during initial installation, what is the impact of the removal of the admin@system-domain to have privileges in vCenter Server?

    Thank you


    all credentials are for performs authentication in vCenter initially and they won't be reused.  I would like to use a domain account that is part of the Administrator role in vCenter.
