• forgotten user password to connect to the computer that works with Windows Vista Home

  version Windows vista home my daughter composed of a password that she can't remember now, we can't access the computer.  How to enter and reset this password without factory default and lose all the images and files?

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• I'm trying to get my old computer but have forgotten the password to log on windows xp. I tried to reinstall and the rider of password thing and nothing works. Any ideas?

  Help, please! Thank you!

  The 'password jumper thing' (?) would be used to clear a BIOS password, not a Windows password. Are you talking about? If a password of BIOS (necessary when you turn on the computer), please give the model/brand/model of your computer (example: laptop Dell Inspiron 1525).

  If a Windows password:

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  If you have XP Pro or Media Center and have been using the account administrator for your regular work so it is the only user account on the system, there are ways to change the password for this account to a white. Microsoft does not allow us to tell how, in these forums. Their House, their rules. Use Google or ask a technician to the local computer (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).

• AFP://user: password@server + connect as?

  Hello

  before you move on to Sierra, to connect to my NAS, under Finder-> go-> connect to server, I used to type:

  AFP://user: password@server/share_name

  with no pop-up windows ' connect as '.

  Now, after the upgrade, after the command: afp://user: password@server, a "connect as" windows appears and it's annoying.

  Someone knows how to jump this window "connect as"?

  Thank you

  Daniele

  I think it has something to do with SMB being now the default connection for Sierra. I tried the syntax shown you and replaced "afp" with "smb", but still have the screen connect as . Even when you select the server in the left pane of the Finder, I always have to make a sign in as. It is used to remember how I connected and go immediately to the actions on the server, but no more. Always have to connect as.

• Satellite A100 is locked because of the fingerprint BIOS & user password

  Hi all

  I have my A100 to my work, recognition of the TouchChip fingerprint a year ago. On initial installation, I recorded my fingerprint of the windows interface.
  Six months ago I had to reinstall windows XP due to infection by the virus that is not repairable. I have installed Windows XP Home edition and downloaded all the drivers and additional software from Toshiba's site.

  I him didn't record again my fingerprints, and I have NOT activated the TouchChip software this time. My problem was only an annoying message at the time the sign that said «you have not saved your fingerprint again...» "and that's it.
  After a 2 week out of town trip (My A100 was locked in my office, and powered OFF - no connection to the sector) at first start, software TouchChip is back from the dead!

  Screen 'TouchChip Bios Extension' appeared after plugging, and my finger is required to load WXP!
  When connecting user WXP dialogue the additional message "you have not saved your fingerprint again... is always here, but I cannot start the machine without my fingerprint." After some digging later in PowerProtector (?) I found an option that says 'enable or disable the use of fingerprints for system and user password BIOS' or something like that.

  I turn this off, and the machine asked to reboot. It was the last time I saw the office.
  After reboot, the system asks password. BUT I DID NOT PUT ANY SYSTEM OR USER PASSWORD!
  Is this possible?
  I did something wrong?
  What is the solution?
  I'm locked out; I don't know why and how the BIOS is locked with a password (so I can't unlock it).
  Please someone help.

  Best regards, Georgios

  I don't know what exactly A100 computer laptop you have, but it seems that the laptop came with the Vista operating system preinstalled.

  You have installed XP and drivers XP only from the Toshiba page.
  But from my understanding, the BIOS should be updated too! The Satellite A100 series supports a special XP BIOS version. If the BIOS was not updated the laptop might not run correctly.

  I don't know if it could have a negative influence on the fingerprint, but nothing is impossible!
  However, the fact is that the BIOS asks for the password. If you don't know this, you need to remove the other... and this can be done by a service provider authorized in your country.

  Request assistance from technicians and explain the whole story! Maybe they will remove the password for free!

  Bye and good luck

• Satellite M70-129: user password controls access to the system at boot

  Hello

  1. from Toshiba Assist (password utility) I put the supervisor with string (text boards) owner password and then I put the user with chain owner password. But during startup BIOS only prompt you for the user password and his Rosary of owner. User mode many BIOS options are disable including the HW installation option.

  2. when I click on Toshiba HWSetup, he invites supervisor password. But if I get the supervisor (not 100% sure) password, it says invalid password. I also tried to change the Toshiba supervisor password, password help utility but failed.

  3. in the meantime due to virus attack, I had to reformat my laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD, sacrifice all my data. I bought this laptop in a few months.

  4. How can I completely remove the BIOS supervisor password and user. Help, please.

  Hello Anas

  You are right. If there is no possibility to remove the password, the service partner for this but it costs a bit.

  Otherwise I put t agree with you on the common problem on Satellite models, because it is a very serious thing and I really t think Toshiba may allow something like that to happen. If it's truth can you imagine what turbulence will be on the market, or perhaps to the press. I put t really believe in this theory.

• Portege R500 - no response from user password

  Having just taken delivery of a new Portege R500, I tried to make a bluetooth connection when a screen came and asked to set up an administrator and user password. I have set up the password of the user only, typing in only once (but did not arise to confirm). When I turned on the computer again, there was a request for password in the upper right corner. But when I typed in it, nothing happens outside of the computer go after 3 attempts.

  It's the password but I've noticed that when I was putting the origin of the series of * only appeared with the second letter. Is there a simple solution or do I return to the dealers? I have no data on it have only added programs to date.

  Thanks for any advice.

  If there is nothing especially on the HARD drive, I recommend you use the recovery image and make the clean OS install. After doing this there's second chance to establish a Bluetooth connection.
