How can I connect to windows vista if I forgot my password?
I haven't used this computer in like 2 years... so, I have forgotten the password. While I hit F11 to go to system recovery, it does not recognize the command... maybe I am using a wireless keyboard that does not recognize? Well as he did when he asks for my password. In any case, to work around all this nonsense or I need to pony up $ 10 for a wired keyboard just so I can restore the system?

You can access the computer if you have the Vista DVD or an ERD. Use the tutorial in the link below:

How can I connect to Windows XP after I lost the password of account?
During the change of sign-admin password, I must have typo had am unable to connect to windows. Is there a way to get around this?
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.

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).

"What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8
If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:
If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.
If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.
If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:
If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.
If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

Hello
Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
wish.Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

How can I switch from Windows Vista to Windows 7
Original title: Windows 7
My HP laptop came pre-installed with Microsoft Vista OS. How can I change to Windows 7?
Hello NareshDadlani,
You must verify that your hardware of PCs will supports Windows 7, therefore, you must visit the HP site and check that the Windows 7 drivers are available for your PC.
Windows 7, is of course, is no longer provided by Microsoft, so you can use scouring eBay or Amazon to see if a copy is legitimate is available. Like most of the software there are many out there pirated copies so be wary.
You can also check if you can run Windows 8.1 instead. This will bring you bang up-to-date with the latest operating system. You can download the Wizard Windows 8 upgrade from this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8 the link to the upgrade wizard is in the second paragraph.
