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.

  • How can I connect to a computer without knowing the password to default?

    Original title: what is the default password / restored for samsung i5, intel, windows 7?

    I bought a returned a Samsung i5, intel, windows 7, 500 GB, 4 cores.  The guy who initially was sold in October 2012 has decided he wanted more bells/whistles and a system w / Windows 8 (which I despise him!).  He should not have used it very long because it was still covered in a film of plastic on the cover of the keyboard and all the cables.

    Problem is... when the laptop has been restored to factory default, they don't tell me what is the default password.  I can't lock my computer without the default password...

    Anyone know how to understand it?

    When a machine is restored to the State of the plant and then you are prompted to select your own account name and password. If you are challenged for a password, then the machine is not in "Factory condition" and you must perform a new factory restore.

  • 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.
    • I tried to open the network and sharing Center, but it does not open.  When I click it, it opens a screen for a brief second.  The option "Display the status of network and tasks" opens either.
    • I logged as an Administration by entering the command line < net="" user="" administrator="" ctive:yes=""> > and restarted the laptop.  Even logged in as administrator, this folder does not open.
    • I also did a scan < sfc="" cannow=""> >.  The digitized rolled up with an error, but the error has been corrected.
    • I also updated the connection of the range extender.
    Why the network and sharing Center will not be open to the top?
    How can I configure my router my HP Windows Vista Linksys connection?
    Thank you.  Please let me know if you need more information.

    Thanks for your reply.

    In a last attempt, my sister has used the ethernet cable to connect directly to our router.  Next time, she turned on her laptop, she managed to connect to our wireless network and she was not invited to enter credentials.
    In this case, the manual connection helped solved the problem.

    Find the performance that you had when you 1st installed can be a little difficult if nothing else, because our perceptions can be skewed a bit over time.

    Basic tasks

    Use programs and features in Control Panel to find applications and utilities you don't use, remove them. Many all-in-one printers install full of additional such as monitors use, utility of feedback services and consumable order links that few people use.

    Msconfig Startup tab will show what programs are loaded whenever the PC starts and off slow start, they can cause a slowdown of the system, and how many times do you really need to update the printer drivers.

    We can all see additional toolbars that grafted to other downloads but how many know the Addons that work in the background, click on the symbol to gear and to manage Addons to see if one is there who should not be.

    The examples you give are web-based so did you check your broadband speed, ISP performance can deteriorate over time the more users they have. Personally, I use speedtest.net, watch out for those actually recommended by your ISP because they have been known to detect and optimize the traffic for these connections.

    The other big problem is your AV. They can be the greatest example of bloatware with backup tools and so on, when you wanted was an AV. Lots of complaints of Norton and McAfee. If you have a subscription for one I would at least consider uninstalling, run the available on the manufacturers site cleanup utility then reinstall the latest version and select the desired real modules.

    Don't forget to mark your system before you start to see if something that really makes a difference, unfortunately I doubt there will be much change. You need not actually specific benchmarking software just the time to specific tasks such as the boot to connect, connection to a specicifc displays message time. Starting an application, the time for this application to load a file especially complex.

    The ultimate can be recharge it but just that I already said on your perceptions know so, I was stunned by the increase in performance with an SSD, but now, it's just normal and any other machine is slow.

  • How can I connect to the console?

    Hi guys! I am using Vmware ESXi 3.5 in my host server, is it possible to enter in the console?

    Thank you.

    ESXi 3.5 comes with the ability to run SSH, but this is disabled by default (and is not supported). If you just need access to the ESXi console, you just perform the steps 1 to 3.

    (1) on the console of the ESXi host, press ALT - F1 to access the console window.

    Input 2) unsupported in the console and press ENTER. You won't see the text you type.

    (3) If you typed in not supported properly, you will see the Tech Support Mode warning and request a password. Enter the password for the root connection.

    To enable SSH, follow steps 4-6.

    (4) you should see the prompt of ~ #. Edit the inetd.conf file (enter the vi/etc/inetd.conf command).

    (5) find the line that starts with #ssh and remove the #. Then save the file. If you start using vi, and then move the cursor to the line of #ssh and then press the INSERT key. Move the cursor on a space, and then press BACKSPACE to remove the #. Then press ESC and type: wq to save the file and exit vi. If you make a mistake, you can press the ESC key and then type that information: q! exit vi without saving the file.

    (6) once you have closed the vi editor, run the command /sbin/services.sh restart to restart management services. You will now be able to connect to the ESXi host with a SSH client.

    If you find this response or other useful, don't forget to mark it as correct or useful.
