Grandfather spent, password protected, reformat?

Trying to reformat a computer, I simply incapable of doing anything without a password in the startup disk.

Hello

You start from the recovery disk to reinstall.

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

    a router monitor can display of my purchases in a site like eBay password protected? If not, what exactly can a router monitor (on another computer), discovered on my wireless laptop? Thanks in advance for any help with this issue!

    Hello

However, some routers have the ability to connect what websites is visited and how much time is spent and how much bandwidth has been used.

  • How to password protect page (s) in Muse

    Hello world

    I need to password protect pages in Muse for an important customer.

    They say 10 portals to customers on their Web site.

    I spent 2 days on this now and not later.

    Before make us any other please DO NOT recommend those password widgets because they are unnecessary and not at all sure.

    Please see what I just wrote in my 123reg provider hosting (Apache Web server).


    I've set up a test page on my own website - password - test.html, downloaded from my site from Adobe Muse via FTP again and then the password file test.html in a folder called password.

    First, I tried the following:

    http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protecting-your-pages-with-htaccess/

    Note: I put the .htpasswd file (it's encrypted) in the root public_html not for 2 reasons:

    1) the author says he's more sure.

    2) I had no idea how to write the path if she was in the password file in the public_html.

    However, it is not good that my client needs multiple pages to be protected on their site, all different usernames and passwords.

    I used the following link and it worked it is to say I was invited for the user name and password and I could connect but instead of the test page I had set up I had my 500 custom error page.

    advanceconsult.co.uk/Password/password-test.html

    Realizing that put in the root would work for my needs, I then removed root .htpasswd and moved the folder password in the public_html and modified the .htaccess and then retested but that did not request username and password he comes to open 500 error page.

    Then, I deleted my .htaccess and .htpasswd in the password file and used your own password instead. It worked it is to say he asked me my username and password but I have not had the 500 error page only a load of headers etc. ie not the password test page.

    So, all I can think is that when the password test html page is moved to the folder that it loses its links with all the other files it calls to create the page.

    To be clear so I want to password protect say 10 different pages on the site with 10 names of distinct users and passwords (encrypted) and I need to be able to download the site of Muse to my host via FTP.

    I need an urgent resolution on this IE before Monday as I come to the client.

    Thank you all

    Mike

    Before go us any other please DO NOT recommend these password widgets because they are unnecessary and not at all safe.

    None are to some extent .htaccess and such things. I'm afraid you have a fundamental misunderstanding here. The simple answer is that what you want can be done with HTML simply and no access to the back-end server. What you have is simply a set of rules for the file and access to records, but without real authentication or encryption. Seriously, you need to consider using a dynamic interface.

  • Password protect an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule

    I have a WD passport external hard drive connected to my time capsule, so my wife and I can easily share files. I have the external hard drive connected through the locked time capsules WiFi network so someone in the House can not access however if they walked the time capsule and not plugged in the external hard drive they could walk away with it. When I try to password protect external hard drive then time capsule may not recognise, and so I can't use it as an external hard drive that is shared. No one knows how, to password protect the external hard drive connected to the time capsule as if someone physically stole the external hard drive it would be locked, but have yet still recognizable by Time Capsule when I plugged?

    Hope that makes sense.

    The only way to do is to encrypt the files on the computer.

    And you both use the same password. Unfortunately, this probably means that you can not share files directly... The TC is not a SIN... never, it was designed for this purpose so there no controls to help admin file sharing.

    If you create a DMG file on WD drive that encrypt you and you can copy files to and from... but only one at a time.

    Another method would be to use a specific software... Watch chronosync.

    http://www.econtechnologies.com/Chronosync/guide-sync-with-disk-image.html

    I don't him have not run in this configuration... so, you have to experiment if it manages what you want.

    I think that there will always be limitations on concurrent access from multiple computers.

    You can respond with more details on what you mean by "does not"-for example, no option to create a password, no option to lock a note, cannot open a note protected without password, etc..

  • Palm Desktop password protection

    Although I no longer use my handheld device Palm (Treo 755 p) I use the desktop app from Palm on my computers, mainly because I like the software allows for the protection of specific password of any given note, contact, or another entry.  When I recently added software for my new Surface 2 Pro 8.1 Windows running, it seems to work correctly.  However, when I tried configured for password protect the program, it shows that a password is not assigned and notes that I have to put a password in the device.   The device has a password, but I can't connect to the Surface either via USB or Bluetooth.   Apparently, the two are incompatible.  However, the kicker is that on my tablet running Windows 7, the password that I use to enter the desktop application is NOT the same as that defined for the device.   I don't remember how I put this on the Windows 7 computer, but I guess I had connect both devices.   Please help if you know of a way for me to use my password on the Surface without connecting to the Palm, or if you know how I can connect the Palm to the Surface Pro.    FYI, when I use bluetooth to try to connect to the Surface and the Palm, a password is generated for the Bluetooth connection and as soon as I get it, I indicate that it is connected to the Palm.  However, after about 5 seconds, it shows no connection.  The same result occurs whenever this is attempted.

    Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

    Not sure about the problem of password.  There are several users in the program?  Could you be redirected to another by mistake?

    Most likely the Surface runs a 64-bit version of Win8, correct?

    You should see the message sticky at the top of this section on the 64-bit drivers USB for Palm Desktop.  This can allow you to Hotsync via a USB cable.

    This is the first post I've seen on the synchronization to a tablet of Surface!  Please keep us informed as to the outcome.
