• Re: How to reset / recover forgotten Windows password

  Forgetting your Windows administrator login password.
  With no way to get into the system, you can perform even basic maintenance, and still less a complete tune up.
  Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. (In addition, guess who's going to help to reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?)

  But all hope is not lost.
  There are several ways to recover a password account Windows lost. Read on, and we'll show you the light.

  _1st method: _

  The first thing check you if you forget the password. When we install windows, it automatically creates an account 'Administrator' and affects his empty password. So if you have forgotten your user account password then try this:

  Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / login screen, press ctrl + alt + delete twice and it'll show classic login box. Now type "Administrator" user name (without the quotes) and leave the field blank password. Now, press Enter and you should be able to log on to Windows.

  Now you can reset your password to "user accounts of-> Control Panel.

  Same thing can be done in Mode without failure. In Safe Mode Windows will display this account of administrator in the login screen.

  Method _2th: _

  There are many password crackers and Windows developers.

  Commander of the CIA:

  This tool only works on NTFS partitions, but it works very well! You can even use it to copy the data from one place to another. But this isn't for free.

  Windows password recovery tool:

  but I've found that Windows Password Recovery Tool is the most effective. :
  It supports not only XP, 2000 and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account is empty by a password.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Do a clean install;

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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

  Heeeeeelp!

  My dad forgot the password of Windows 8...

  It's a HP Pavilion g6, and I've tried everything...

  My first problem is that I can't find a feature key shortcut key to join the system BIOS... I have to press shift reboot to get there... Y at - it a keyboard shortcut?

  Second, there was no admin profile put in place at the time not a password recovery disk so the only ones I see is my father, and you can enter the password until the cows come home, home and the screen does not change...

  If after all this, I'm like OK - crack password... I have download and burned on the disc (and USB) and changed the boot order but the * beep * laptop it won't read...

  Short of re - install Windows 8 (which I have to get the disc from the dealer that Windows was preinstalled) y at - it something I can do... ?

  My father is driving me BANANAS!

  Thanks for reading...

  You can access the BIOS of most recent generation specifications by:

  1) press the power button

  (2) immediately start typing the ESC key to call the start menu.

  (3) choose F10 in the start menu to access the BIOS.

  A word of warning. Nothing in the BIOS will help you in the forgotten Windows password.

  If your father has not taken the time to do a disk recovery or sill USB recovery media set you have two options.

  (1) purchase a set of recovery disks from HP or an HP partner. A game costs $25.00 USD. If you live in the rest or the world order here.

  (2) find a store that has a technician with access to the msDart and the program locksmith.

  Thanks for sharing this, but we always talk about password of Toshiba, it won't and I think this might be a bit confusing, it is of a workaround for the windows user account password.

  As much as I know there is no password defined by Toshiba.

  The user can define the user account password in windows if necessary so that this workaround solution describes how to remove a user account Windows password that is common to all computers with the preinstalled Windows operating system.

  However, thanks for posting ;)

• Account - My Windows email account to login with a username and password of e-mail

  I had this same problem about 2 years ago... my windows email account wants to connect with a user name and password. Why? It's been so long, I don't know what they were... I don't want this problem with my email... ever... How can I avoid this.    I just created a different password so I could do... How can I get my email again?  I won't be able to see your response as my email is broken.  You can call me * removed *. Thanks lj

  If you have forgotten your username and password, you will need to contact your email provider and get this information from them.  At the same time, they can tell you the right settings for your e-mail program, you specify here, so it is difficult to proceed further in your question.  You can check here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

• 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).

• 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!

• How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

  How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
