How can I find the password that I used when I got my computer?

I want to clean my hard drive and start from scratch, but I don't remember my password... Is there a way to get this information?

Hello DonaldBreasette,

If you want to reinstall Windows, you will be prompted to create a password during the set up.  If you have forgotten a password or lost, I've added a link below that I hope, will help.

Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords:

  • Firefox has stopped to remember a password and now I can't retrieve the password. How can I access the passwords that Firefox remembered for me?

    I have two youtube accounts, but Firefox has stopped reminding the password on one of them. Unfortunately I remember is no longer the password, like Firefox still remembered up to now. How can I access the password in Firefox, or is that not possible?

    Try the menu Tools, Options and then on the Security tab.

    Look for the "Passwords" section. From there, you should be able to see or manage stored passwords.

  • How can I store the passwords that have been deleted

    I had the usernames and passwords stored for multiple accounts of e-mail on the same site. These have been accidentally deleted from the list of saved passwords, and now I can't get Firefox (23.0) to remember once again. I have no password check enabled (behind a master password), and this site does not appear on the list of "exceptions." In the password management utility, there is no facility to add new passwords, not to remove them. It seems, once removed, Firefox assumes one will never want to save this site again.

    I'm in and out of these accounts literally dozens of times a day and now connect in the manual every time. How can I get Firefox saves these combinations of name of user and password for me again?

    Yes. AutoComplete = off is a direction that web sites can give a browser to instruct them not to store the data that you enter in an input field. This can be search terms that you enter on a Web site like Google, but also the privacy and security of sensitive data such as a credit card number.

    If you use the bookmarklet so you know what you are doing and give it a second thought.

    If you use the extension that you don't notice that a Web site prefers that you do not to save this data.

    With recording a password, you will need to confirm a prompt, but the other form data can be recalled if imperceptible autocomplete = off is removed.

  • How can I find the question that I dropped off the 9.11.13 and the response that I received on my hotmail to Kim?

    Hello

    I guess that everything that you people are as stupid as me, so I need help.

    Saturday, I tabled a question about Live Mail, do not sync with my 2 Hotmail accounts.  I received a reply from Kim through my email account, and after following that advice should meet him which I did by hitting his email response.  Now, I get an email saying that my answer was available.  So I thought that maybe if I found my question, his answer would be to this topic, in the "community" section where I placed my initial question and I could hit answer here.  There is no section for Windows Live Mail in the Community Forum if I select Windows 7 Email and communications as my topic, as it was the closest I could get.  How I'd like a tab or a box that says "see your question and the responses, it has generated."

    I know it's a stupid question, but when you get past 70 things aren't as obvious apparently.

    Can someone help me?

  • How can I find the images that have a resolution below 1920 * 1200 using search in Windows 8?

    I'm trying to find images in a folder to have a resolution of 1920 * 1080, but can only find how to search specific sizes - what is useful, but not what I need.

    Any help is appreciated.

    No longer think that it is-just try logic.  :-)

    Search for width and height.

    Example - if I had a folder (with subfolders even) I wanted to find all moroccoin who had a lower width to (but not equal to) 1920 (which is what you say, to halfway anyway) then I'm looking for:

    Width:<>

    If I wanted all the images to a width smaller than 1920 and height less than 1080, so I'm looking for:

    Width:<1920><>

    (... which is what said you you wanted.)

    Of course, who does not account turned images where width is now 1080 and the height is now of 1920.  ;-)

    If I wanted that all the images that are less than or equal to a measure...

    Width:<=1920><>

    Etc and so on...

    All of this assumes that images have been properly encoded with metadata, indexed, etc..

    It can also take some time to process...

    Works for Windows XP I think.

    What you might see in a results pane:

    This image is Windows 7, because that is maybe I was sitting in front of in time.  Should be very similar/same to search for files (FILE SEARCH is the key it) in point 8.1 of Windows...

    Note that I added the width and height to the columns for easy sorting - heck, that could solve your problem here.  Go to the root directory (all subdirectories has included in this one you can photos on) and research of *. * and with the width and height columns add, once the search results show all the ions of files files - click one of the column headers to sort (say by width) and you will find a list of images in all of the folders located under him you started with a width of all together, etc.

    But - you seemed to want to put the width & height together, then...

    Dimensions:<>

    However, in my tests, it is less reliable than the width and height - as I am less than or equal to 1920 and height, it was whatever he felt like.

    May arise through this:
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/4595-search-Windows-8-a.html

    Examples of search methods:

    http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2010/03/Mastering-Windows-search-using-advanced-query-syntax/ (former article, always - pages - topical and valuable - in my opinion.  Using Boolean operators and properties mixed with the many things that you can search for makes searching in file Explorer Windows/a very powerful tool.)

    Even if - when it comes to searching for files - I still live a reliable old friend:
    Agent Ransack

    FileLocator Pro is the professional version (the version of cost) of the tool Agent Ransack.  Nice product, well worth the money as it if you do a lot of research files.

    If you do a lot of mass rename files, I found a free software that is VERY easy to use and reliable/flexible for me for years: Advanced Renamer

    Overall - for most people - the built-in Windows search features and even the ability to change of name no longer.  Here's a decent rundown of the AQS (AQS):

  • How can I find the images that are not in the catalogue?

    I imported about 600 photos of a friend of Wakeboarding in Lightroom. I then analyzed quickly through them and remove those who were not good.

    I wanted to delete these photos in the album. However, in about 10 cases I accidentally their removed from the catalog, not from disk.

    All photos of the wakeboard are in the same folder; There are no other images in this folder.

    Is there a way to find out what images are in this folder, but are not in the Lightroom Catalog?

    Rotaluclac

    Probably the easiest way would be to reimport them in their folder (make sure that the box Import suspected duplicates is enabled).

    Those who imported will be reflected in import previous "collection." In the grid view, select all and press the delete key. Click the appropriate button on the box that appears.

  • How can I change the programs that start automatically when I turn on my computer?

    I have several programs that slow down my departure upward.  I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.

    I have several programs that slow down my departure upward.  I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.

    First of all, note that you should be in * all * the programs that start automatically, not only with those who are in the system tray. Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the status bar.

    On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, but others have no effect on performance.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can try searching the Internet and ask questions about the details here.

    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • How can I find the photos that I have dealt in 5/PS Lightroom trial software?

    I imported my Lightroom 5 photos on the 30 day trial.  I post-processed about 700 photos.  To stop for the night and restarted the next day, all the photos disappeared from Lightroom.  Lightroom displays 0 in the line "all photos".  Do you know how to access all directly processed photos?  Thank you.

    Probably, you opened an empty catalog.  Look under file-> recent open and open catalogs shown here, one of them will show your photos.

  • How can you define the image that FB takes when your share your Web page?

    He always takes a piece of something or some text... but nothing that looks really good!

    Thnx

    Hello

    Facebook auto detects the image while sharing the web page. It uses the url of the page, and then sends the thumbnail image.

    However, you can add your custom code to indicate which image to select for facebook, but it would be a customization on the page of your site.
