Help with "Password reset Wizard"
I have vista Home premium and cannot access my administrator account because of a change in software that has sometimes happened mid-2012. I now get a pop-up, called a "password reset Wizard" which requires passwords to backup on a disk. This obligation did not exist in the past and I need to know how to solve this problem. I can't update my computer without access to the administrator account.
Hello
Password reset disk process has always been available to Vista.

But it had to be created BEFORE that you forgot your password.

error with password reset Home premium Windows 7 Assistant
Password reset Win 7 Home premium is me an error when you try to reset my password.
Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but I think it will be the 8 method which solves your problem. Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.
You could be up & running again within an hour, probably less.

URGENT HELP about password reset
Hello Lenovo community,
I currently own a Lenovo x230t that I bought recently second hand Kijiji, and it still has warranty until mid September 2014.
I have a problem very stupid that drives me crazy but also desperate. I can't enter my password correctly, even if during the factory setting, I typed my password correctly / confirmed it. I tried to enter my regular password in different ways, but no cigar. Now, I'm not sure what to do.
Problems
1. This is my only account other than homeusergroup when I try to make a backup of recovery and in order to enter the recovery mode, I need to know the password.
2. I don't know how to boot from USB in Setup because there is no 'Boot from USB' option, which limits a way to reset my password.
3. If someone did before warranty service, what references do you need? (ie. the receipt (original owner has it), ID?)
4. don't guarantee services help to unlock/solve my password locking?
5. How can I reset my password with the current limitations?
Thank you
Jimmy
In general, the forum does not allow discussions about security bypass. There are many kinds of passwords, and I can't tell who you're talking to.
- Power-on password. (the display shows a black screen with a padlock icon).
- \Disk password (such as walking, but a second drive with a '1' icon in there).
- Supervisor password (only lock icon when you try to enter the BIOS).
- Windows password.

Hello, account Windows Live from my wife was hacked a week ago and has been used to send many spam emails. As a result, his account has been disabled or closed (we are not sure). Whenever she asks to reset a password and a link sent to a different e-mail account, when she clicked it gets this message 'there is a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to receive this message, try again later. "She is tried repeatedly, but get the same message. Someone knows how to go beyond that, so she can recover her account? Thank you.

DRAC 4 - problem with password reset
Hello
My company bought used/refurbished Dell R200 server with DRAC 4/p card. Now, I'm trying configure/reset password for DRAC 4 (v1.75 A01 fw) to the server. Server running Win 2008 x 64 std.
As a first step, that the seller forgot to put with ribbon cable card, so I had to do it myself after I got it... Back to story :) at the start, I have configured DRAC (Ctrl + D; set IP DNS & - I do not see 'reset password' option), I also configured BMC to tunnel IP too (I think that's not important).
Then, after I got windows running nicely (WU, net. FW + soft base; I did while waiting for flat cable). Once I got the cable, I have configured the DRAC at boot time, and then I went to interface http and received the error of connection (for root and calvin). In the meantime, I had to grasp because victory could not find drivers for dell DRAC: (.)
So I installed OMSA ManagedNode x 64 (v7.4.0.2) tools RDCA (Setup did not find my card too...). Now the server startup time tripled :/ (don't know what did OMSA / or make at startup...), but nice after starting web server interface OMSA works, I can see the status of the HDD, the sensors, the tensions - almost what I need, but nothing on the DRAC (BMC only).
Started administrator cmd and typed:
C:\Windows\System32>racadm racresetcfg
ERROR: Cannot perform the requested operationAnd:
C:\Windows\System32>racadm getsysinfo
ERROR: Cannot perform the requested operationSo now, I think that something is not ok, but what? DRAC is broken (said kindly) or soft cannot talk to the card...
Can anyone provide some tips?
Hello
I did an extra test (before leaving the workstation) and OMSA CentOS Live image downloaded and tried running the racadm - same result then the card should be broken.
Seller has decided to replace the card because "a very likely card is broken." So now I wait for the new card.
If I remember, I'll post summary :)
-Summary-
I got more than 2 cards of seller. None of them worked, firmware update found card, updated at the latest but racadm wouldn't work: (.)
I'm packing cards back to give their feedback to the seller, but I decided to check once more... If I put each a card server and I tried the OMSA Live CentOS run racadm getsysinfo [/ i].
I don't know if I would be really happy but one of the DRACs replied :), so without hesitation, I run "racadm racresetcfg" and I had no errors (happy), so I waited a moment for card to reset, and then rerun the getsysinfo but there not as before, but now I can log in the web and I changed my password.I suspect editing card, but the PREV raid card works very well, there could be something offshore with this putting on drac PCI slot. Seller also admitted that he had specially the elevators in order to install the drac4 card.
I consider this as solved :)
PS. Sorry for my bad English.

BlackBerry Smartphones need help with password
Some guy stupid Chinese changed Chinese language in my phone blackberry 9500... and my bad luck the battery is low, so the phone turns off. When I turned on the phone, it's ask password and keyboard shows only no alphabets and numbers. Now, how you can enter the password to unlock the phone.
Your suggestions and help will be very appreciated.
Ashish
If you do not know the password, enter 10 times incorrectly will wipe the device of all personal information, data, preferences, messages, contacts, calendar, etc. You will be notified before deletion.
You could try connected to the PC and the Desktop Manager. Doing so will require you to enter the password, and there you will have access to your full keyboard.
Otherwise, there is no way around the password requirement.
Good luck

Hi all.
My nephew is using a Compaq Presarion B1200 laptop for school. Recently, he had a hard disk crash. I tried to install a new hard drive but I met a power on password request. Needless to say, that my boy myself and my nephew is not aware of any password.
I can do before you send the laptop to HP service centers?
Kind regards

Hi Erico.
I tried to delete the method of RTC battery, but in vain. Send the laptop using HP Service Center?
Yes. Removal of the RTC for more than five minutes erases the password. Once this is done, you can install another hard use, drive and eith, a defined recovery media disk or install another operating system.

I can't access my computer because I forgot once more my password, I'm the only Admin and response to the "indication" does not work. I have
Hello
If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting.
To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.
Once logged in as administrator, you should be able to change the passwords for any account.

In addition, check the status of 'Caps Lock' and if you are using a laptop computer when there is a numeric keypad superimposed on the normal alphabetic keys, check if the numerical values are active (normally a depression Fn and F key).
