How to unlock user accounts if you forgot the password? I tried to reformat, but it won't work...

There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
If you take any of the precautions above (creating a password reset disk, creating an admin account to spare using an index of password) you can then perform a destructive factory restore. Consult the manufacturer's web page for detailed instructions.

  • How can I connect to the internet? Problems involving the network and sharing Center does not.

    Hello.
    I live in a House and bought a range extender so that I can get a connection in my basement as well.  I have installation range Extenders without problem.  When you install the range extender, I changed my name to my network router.  I changed the name of the network by typing 192.168.1.1 in my browser.
    The MacBook connects without a problem.  In the basement, the connection of Windows 7 works very well.  I have just connected Vaio Windows 7 my mother to the network, but it prompted that I enter the user credentials.  I read a post above and got that problem solved by opening the network and sharing Center and adding a new connection.  Now that the connection is configured correctly.
    The problem is with the laptop HP Windows Vista family basis.  Since I install the range extender, I can't connect to the network.  He had no problems before you connect the router or other networks to visit other places.  The new network name appears, but when I click it, it says I have to enter the user credentials.  I tried to manually, but the name is taken so I can't make a new and invites me to connect to the network that is established or to connect to a different network.

    Original title: lock-out windows

    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.

    See also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321305

    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).

    Original title: HELP! WINDOWS 7 NETBOOK PASSWORD FORGOTTEN?

    I am unable to long on my netbook. I read through the posting a lot without results.  I tried to restart in SafeMode (networking), (command prompt) and I'm at my wits end. Need help quickly...

    Restart the computer using safe mode, and then log in as administrator. The password is often left blank. You can now set the password for all or part of other users. The next thing is to plan ahead: click Start / Help, then search for help on "password". Follow the instructions to create a key on your USB flash drive file so that you'll never find yourself in this uncomfortable situation.

  • How can I connect to my account?

    I just reset my Windows 10 and now I can't connect to my gmail account. I downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird, and I get the error provided windows.

    I found the names of servers

    The new account wizard Thunderbird automatically fills in the correct server for Gmail settings.
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/automatic-account-configuration

    I don't know how you ended up with. Gmail.com as server name, which of course will not work.

    You try Manual Configuration?

    I don't remember my user name because at Google, you use your gmail address to sign.

    All you have to do is fill in your name, email address and password. Let the Wizard do the rest.

    I found a message on the website of gmail on an app with poor security, try to connect to my account.

    What happens in your Thunderbird 'Authentication method' account settings is not set to 'OAuth2', and you will not allow 'less safe apps' in the Gmail settings.

    Note, "OAuth2" works only for IMAP accounts. The wizard by default IMAP.
    In the event that you want to configure a POP account, you will still need to leave "less secure apps" in the Gmail settings before setting the account in Thunderbird.

  • How can I connect to the computer without the icon?

    Original title: Inadverdently deleted the icon for the administrator who has passed, can recover us it and password?

    Mother-in-law belonging to this computer and we do not have access to administrator... we may have found the password but have removed the icon and cannot locate the account to connect?  Is there hope for us?

    Once connected to your computer, bring up a command prompt window...
    Start-> Run-> "cmd".
    and enter the command:
    net localgroup administrators
    This will give you a list of users of your system with administrator privileges.  Once you know the user name, restart your machine or logoff to access your logon screen.  Then press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to bring up a classic logon window.  Enter the administrator user name, then the password.  If everything is copacetic, it will record you as an administrator.

    Original title: my daughter locked her computer and can't remember the password.

    My daughter has locked her computer and can't remember the password. I'm trying to unlock the computer. The computer is running Windows 7

    It is always ask a password :(

    You did not say it, but it probably means that your daughter has changed her password and can not remember what she changed. This is why an alternative admin account is absolutely essential. You can get out of this situation as follows:

    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 changed the password.
    And since you probably do not burn a CD to repair Windows 7 either (which is absolutely essential for people to maintain their own PC), here's how to get one:
    • Burn it on another computer.
    • Borrow one from a friend.
    • Purchase one here: http://systemdiscs.com/
    It takes only three minutes to burn a via the control panel / backup and restore.
