How can I get rid of "password protection" necessary for me to start my computer?

I've recently developed a malware virus on my new computer HP Windows 8 and need to wipe my hard drive completely get rid of it.  When I got my basic software I found that I could no longer start or wake my computer without my MSN password.  It was now 'password protected' that it has never been before and it is very annoying for me and I would like to get rid of this requirement, but I can't understand how and the HP tech was not very useful.  Help, please!

Hello

There is a frame at the top left of the POWER OPTIONS window to change the password to the setting of the wake-up... Turn off the power in other words...

At the start can be a different problem if...

Have you used a Microsoft account the first time or a regular password?

  • How can I get rid of password protection?

    I don't want to have to enter a password every time I start up

    Hi Paige,

    I guess that you don't know a boot/BIOS password.  This is something totally different and you must do it in the BIOS by changing things there.

    If you just want to say the password at startup, then see the following: http://www.ehow.com/how_7174527_disable-vista-xp-startup-password.html.

    Good luck!

  • How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

    How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

    Subject: House is the default in Firefox 4 home page - look at the address bar containing the addresses of web page - it is the container for Google search, with a 'extract container' and below these elements is the Previous Session Restore button. It's not the same homepage that previous versions of Firefox used (although it is similar in appearance), it is a 'local' page that won't load the Internet.

    Set this page as your home page, which is what Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions had for the default home page. He has Previous Session Restore button/link.

    When I turn on my computer Windows 8 it requires me to enter my Hotmail password to access Windows. I want the computer just turn on and start unless I have my password.

    If you connect with a Microsoft account then you must use a password.

    All my children use it

    EEEK! It's a recipe for disaster.

    I assume that the one and the only user account on the computer is an administrator account?

    If so, create a Local Administrator account with a password and keep it for elevation and only emergency access.
    Change your account of the daily use of Admin Standard.

    Create a new Local Standard account for your children. (No password need it at all).

  • At startup, an additional tab is open. How can I get rid of this way I only have my start page?

    When I start the application Foxfire on my pc it automatically opens an additional tab? How can I get rid of the extra tab. I tried closing and restarting but it's still there? It's more frustrating to a major problem.
    Thank you

    Hi, Firefox is able to open multiple home pages with the URL separated by a "pipe" (|), so please see - How to set the home pageand in "Home Page", make sure that in addition to the URL of your home page (the Firefox start page is Subject: House but you can have another, or the page new tab, which is on) (: newtab) he has nothing else - if that's the case, just delete it.

    If it's easier, you can just click Restore default instead.

  • How can I get rid of a 'server' missing for a long time on my LAN?

    At the same time I ran two iMacs for years, then sold one and replaced it with a Mac Pro, which I put the iMac remaining network. Then, I sold the second iMac, leaving only the Mac Pro. Now the Mac Pro trying to start to connect, like a faithful dog, with the missing iMac. The ' problem connecting to e.g., iMac.local "appears at three or four times in the first 15 minutes after the start. How can I get rid of him? So far I've tried: Finder/go/connect to Server / (unsubscribe);  Finder/Prefs/General / (uncheck attached servers). /(Uncheck all) Finder/Prefs/Panel side Shared. There is no evidence of the iMac in my articles or connection options. I had rather not potchke around the code, but nothing has stopped so far. Any ideas? The Mac Pro runs El Capitan 10.11.6.

    It can be a little painful to figure out what piece of history triggered attempts to mount. Try to use Console.app to inspect the system log at the time the dialog box is displayed to see if it gives you a clue as to what process makes the attempt.

    Otherwise, delete all items in connection (unchecking them is not enough, remove them from the list) you have and see if the problem goes away. If so, divide and conquer to understand that it was responsible.
