  • I gave a comuter the person who owned it died. How can I change the user name and password?

    A few months ago, I gave a comuter the person who owned it died. The window indicates Micrsoft Window XP Professional-HP. My problem is that I do not have access on behalf of users and password. What should I do?

    Hello

    Many on this forum suggests that when you "inherit" a PC, you should do a clean install of Windows to delete the unwanted "baggage" that the previous owner has left behind. For example (but not limited to) viruses and criminal and illegal downloads. Such a procedure will reset all the passwords anyway. The PC may have a factory reset mechanism still intact. Visit the manufacturer website for more information, or we do know the number of brand, range and model of your PC for assistance.

    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. It allows to connect and change the password of any other connection.

    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.

    It's on a new iMac (2016). I SHOULD be the system administrator. Firefox won't let me update because it says I don't have permission and need to contact my system administrator. Ugh.

    This happens with all apps or just Firefox? If it's just FF, and then in the Finder choose FF and right-click to get the information. In the sharing and permissions permissions are checked. Open the triangle. The permissions should be:

    Me > reading and writing

  • How can I change the name of the search engine in the search bar?

    I just added the Oxford Dictionary to my list of search engines in the search bar. Only problem is that it does not say Oxford Dictionary. It says ONO.

    How can I change the list of search engines, I can change the more evocative name?

    Are there not such somewhere or an XML file that contains these entries?

    Firefox gathers information about the plugins of research from two sources - the default searchplugins folder that is shared by all profiles Firefox (C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins) and the folder searchplugins in your active profile. They are combined into a data file named search.json.

    I read a few threads on the net about the modification of these search plugins, and it seems to require some trial and error. Assume that the ONO plugin is in your profile.

    Under help > troubleshooting information, you can click the open folder containing (pre-Fx12) or folder (Fx12) Show to open your folder of the currently active profile. Snap searchplugins. Here are the XML files you can edit in your favorite text editor. If you break one, you can probably just download again, but if you're a cautious type, go ahead and make a backup.

    After the change the short name and save and close the file, change your probably not will immediately appear in Firefox because some trigger event may be necessary to update search.json. If the restart of Firefox is not enough, you can try to rename search.json before restarting, but this can cause you to lose the keywords that you have assigned through the dialog box handle the search engines.

    In any case, it's all improvised that have not tried-TI-me-even, then I suggest to do some additional research.

    (If there is an Add on very practical to do this, I don't find it.)
