homegroup does not display the password

I created a homegroup on laptop windows 7 of my wife. Trying to get the homegroup password to view, I hit "View or print the homegroup password" and nothing happens.

My computer, a laptop another W7, it shows that his computer has set up a homegroup, but I can't get the password to continue the installation process.

How can I get the password?

Additional notes:
1, are both services Homegroup/manual start on both machines.
2. I tried to "Leave the homegroup" on his machine to start over, but get the message "Windows could not remove your computer from homegroup - why?

Thank you
Jack

I know this is an old post, but I had the same frustrating problem... OS = Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium SP1, all latest patches, blah blah :)

The answers above are excellent, they give the bread crumbs on what to do to fix it.

There are 2 other URLs from the Microsoft Forums that refer to the issue as well:

http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/Windows/en-us/6b5a72eb-6523-4af9-85AB-3694d7cc457a/peer-name-resolution-protocol-will-not-start?Forum=w7itpronetworking

and

What I saw was of 3 services for peer-to-peer service

Start, run, services.msc hit enter

Peer Name Resolution Protocol (not started)

Peer Networking Grouping (not started)

Peer Networking Identity Manager (on the road)

When I try to start the services of 2 albums, error that appears is referenced in the URL 2 above,

"Windows could not start the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service on Local computer.

Error 0 x 80630801: 0 x 80630801

Reboot PC makes no difference

Internet Explorer is the default browser

Navigate to the following location:

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking

Delete the following file: idstore

Restart the machine/PC

After the reboot, all 3 services are started and I can now display the homegroup password

Control Panel, network and sharing Center, choose homegroup and sharing options, under other homegroup actions, view or print the homegroup password

  • My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed.

    My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed. The plug in page shows the plug ins I installed. How can I fix it? This happened on my 64 bit Windows 7 partition. I installed the extension "classic add-on" to see if she could solve the problem. There is unfortunately no. I have a screenshot. I'm not sure if I have permission to upload it to the media gallery. I also use Linux, but I did not upgrade that are still there.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

  • My firefox does not display the icon fonts!

    I use fontello.com for my web design project. But recently it does not display the icon.

    and the strange thing is that its OK my Firefox friends and just my PC have the problem.

    for example, this page shows icon on my friends firefox but I can't see the icons
    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28793409/fontello-d3b0f38a/demo.html

    That's what I see
    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28793409/shot.jpg

    If Safe Mode is good, the more likely culprits are one of your extensions or incompatibility of the graphics driver. To work around the second question, you can disable use of the hardware acceleration Firefox to see if that helps.

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    It takes effect the next time you exit and restart Firefox.

  • After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

    I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

    I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

    Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

    My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

    Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

    Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Do you hear the names and passwords in the password manager or do you mean that you are connected is no longer on to (remember to) Web sites after the closing and restarting Firefox?

    There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.

    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.

    If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.

The size of the part has been reduced. Has expanded the area where you type URL for search engine. I have no problem with the navigation, history, bookmarks, tabs bar, etc. Only problem is that the URL does not display the page. Even this page has no URL displayed in the navigation bar.

Yes, I can to bookmark the page without any problem and can use bookmarks to return to the page. But no URL appears in fact as he always did in the past. Oh, I have an IMac and use a keyboard of razor.

    Hello.

    You should be able to resize the address bar, if the search bar is to the right by simply sliding the space between the address bar and the search bar.

    If that does not solve your problems, it is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and themes and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, tell me please, then we can work from there. Please be afraid not to follow my instructions to the line, as everything can be easily undone.

  • Save dialog box under does not display the list of files

    Terminal Server R2 of 2012.  Dialog box "Save as" for a user does not display the list of files.  The address bar shows the way, there is a form for the file name box, and the user can save the file successfully.  But the space that would show the files in the selected directory is empty.  There is no form for the list of files box, it's just the grey box dialog box space - that is to say, it is not that it looks like an empty folder, there is simply no display form box.

    The 'Open' dialog box appears normal, showing the list of files in the selected folder.

    I had the user close the session on the Terminal Server and access it from another PC, even if I was not expecting to make a difference, and it didn't.  I have also connected on myself and has not experienced the same problem.  So it seems to be user-specific.

    What a setting, the user has selected by mistake, or a mistake any?
