  • 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).

• How can I find or reset my password required for configuration of wireless connection for my area

  For my part, I bought a new corner and when I finally understood the wpa code and the meal agreed, the next thing she needed was my password and I don't remember the password I set up for the network wireless on my system. I need to know where and how to find, or at least reset it. It would be cool if someone could contact me via phone @.

  Hello

  Check with the support of the manufacturer of your router, their online documentation and firmware, and
  ask in their forums (if any). Most have excellent online help. You will probably need to
  reset the password of the router. This time make sure to write down it. You can even band
  it to the router or create a note in a computer file.

  I hope this helps.

  Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

  Tips from Microsoft in your situation is to reinstall the operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  See you soon.
