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.

If you have one or more users, this article may also be useful in W7: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/377-log-automatically-startup.html.  If you are using Vista, see: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66966-logon-automatically.html.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    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).

  • How can I get rid of the opinion of "authentication required".

    Please help how can I get rid of this annoying notice?

    Google will never request a password in this way. Sounds like malware. Perhaps the site is infected, or if it occurs on multiple sites, you may have a bad add-on.

    The discount can solve it, but if she comes back, this is my procedure suggested to track down and cleaning of the bad modules. Sorry for the length - it is not as bad as it sounds:

    (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

    (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

    Hello Terri108,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you have two Apple ID and want to get rid of one. First of all, any purchase that you have made with your ID first Apple won't be available on the second Apple ID and vice versa. If you only want to use an Apple ID, you must choose them and then purchase and download all the apps the other Apple ID that you choose.

    You could also do for the two the same Apple ID passwords. In this way all the apps you have downloaded to your devices can be updated, and you do not have to remember to separate the 2 passwords.

    1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

  • How can I get rid of the webshoppy pop ups

    How can I get rid of the pop up webshoppy?

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.
