• How can I change the password on the computer when I don't remember the original?

  Original title: How can I change my password if I don't remember but don't know the pin code and I know the password to my e-mail attached?

  I don't remember the password to my computer as an administrator, but I don't know the pin code. I know my connected Hotmail account information and also the password but I don't remember the password so cannot download certain applications.

  So I would like to know how to change the password.

  Any assistance would be much appreciated!

  Thank you.

  You need the password to another one administrator-level account, or to the real real 'administrator' account?

  If you use an administrator level account, you can enable the built-in true ' administrator' account, connect on it (she has no default password because it is disabled by default) and reset the password of another account from there.

  To do this:

  1. Press + X to display the context menu, and then click computer management.
  2. On the left, click local users and groups, and then select the users folder.
     On the right, you will see the account named Administrator.  There must be an arrow down to this topic icon, indicating that the account is disabled.
  3. Double-click the administrator account, and then uncheck the "account is disabled".  Click OK to save your changes.
  4. Close the computer and connection to the administrator account.
  5. Back to the same page of user management.  Right-click on the account with the unknown password and choose set password to set a new.
  6. Open log on to the administrator account and your regular account.
  7. Go back once more on behalf of users and disable the administrator account.  You want to book it only in an emergency - if something had to get changed or broken in the administrator account, you have a downturn in the future to use.

  I hope this helps!

• I changed my password on the computer and can not find the book that I wrote on and now I cannot get into my computer account. How can I rectify this?

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator .  You will need to know the password, if any, for this account.  Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account.

  Then, restart the computer and you connect to your regular account with the new password.  If the computer has a floppy drive, you can make a password reset disk

  Hello

  Please give iansantos a break here... Somewhere, I think that they don't speak ROMANIAN or know that little question - this is new to me too... but thank you for sharing this to others volunteers and participants in this community to find.

  Instead, what he interpreted (and, indeed I agree) of your original message was that you had to edit your stored inside the BIS, email existing credentials (once you have changed the to your mail server). And, there are several ways to do this, with the method you registered as being just one of them... so there thought your goal as being to get BIS re-configured with your new email credentials and you provided another method to do this.

  Now, with your 2nd post, are better understood what was your original desire, we now know that our interpretation of your original goal was wrong. But, once again, give iansantos a break... like you, he's human.

  Good luck!

• How solve 'cannot log in to my administrator account on Windows vista?

  I try to change my password in safe mode. but seems still does not...

  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 can't log in as an administrator in my windows 7 PC with 32-bit operating system. What can I do?

  I put my password to log on as an administrator.  When I restrart the computer and try to log in it asked me to change the password to connect. I did it. When I try to getback to my computer with the new password, it says it's a mistake. Now, I can not connect as an administrator. What can I do? And who is the administrator of a computer that I own. I'm puzzled. Your help please

  I put my password to log on as an administrator.

  I don't understand what you mean with this statement - please explain.

  To recover from all that you have done, you can follow these steps:
  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you did what you did.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• How can I log on as an administrator on a Vista system

  I can not download other applications software, because I'm not connected my Vista system as a system administrator. Can you tell me how I can get around this since I did not have the ability to create the profile?

  Thank you!

  Can't do.  You must be an administrator to do.  Talk to an administrator and ask them to upgrade you to a standard user to administrator and that will fix the problem (or ask one to do anything, you need done that only an administrator can do).

  Sorry I can't be more help, but that "how Vista works.  You try to circumvent the policies in place and we can not help you - talk to your responsible for the problem.

  Good luck!

  Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  In the properties

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  ** Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  You can not get the administrative privileges just by changing your password. Privileges are granted to a user account by another administrator. If someone could grant these security rights for themselves, then would anyone (including drive-by malware) and there would not be much point in a security system or a level of access to several levels in all.

  Logging in as an administrator account and give your regular user account privileges or ask an administrator to the computer or to the domain do for you.
