• How can I reset my administrator password?

  Hello.

  So I have a big problem. I need to add a printer to my laptop to print important documents, but I can't connect to it without my administrator password. My father is the administrator of my computer and reset his password twice now to remember one, but forgetting the current. We tried everything we could for the passwords, but it did not work. I made a password reset disk, and when I've blocked my standard account and went to the login screen and follow the steps in the password reset Wizard, I came across an error message when I tried to reset the password. The message was this: an error occurred while the wizard was attempting to set the password for this user account. It's a problem I've experienced actually, but that's not important right now. I used to have BitLocker on my USB (password reset disk), but I went through a lot to remove it because I thought it was BitLocker causing the error message to display. However, I removed BitLocker, and I still get the same error message. How can I reset my password without completely restoring Windows 7 because I have on my browser bookmarks that are mandatory for me and there's like a mile away, so I'll never have time to go to each link and save the URL. My father suggest saving all my documents on an external hard drive, then Windows 7 reset, but then all my bookmarks and downloads disappear with it. I'm also not allowed to install some things that I want to use my standard account, but I'm not allowed to do so without the administrator password. I need to reset my password or at least become an administrator myself my own standard account, because I was put in place with this for almost a year now, and I'm tired. I searched online for password crackers that are not very reliable, but also require an administrator password to install! I tried the CMD tactic, but you must run as an administrator to reset the password, right? But how can I do if I don't know the administrator password? I would appreciate it if you could tell me just why I get an error message when I try to reset my password. I thank very you much for your time.

  Here you go:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• How can I change the administrator password?

  I use a Windows 7 computer. I open cmd.exe to laugh and try, I've been on the standard user account, I changed the administrator password and I do not know. I don't have a reset boot disk.

  With a Dell with Windows 7, you press F8 at startup, not Ctrl + F11

  CTRL + f11 was for XP and Dell.

• How can I configure an administrator password?

  Original title: implementation of an administrator password

  I bought a personal laptop computer to use in my classroom that is running Windows 7. I don't want my students to download anything on the internet or make changes to applications. Can I create a password to prevent this?

  We must create strong passwords for your PC. It is advisable to enable Bitlocker, if the edition of your Windows is supported and you have TPM:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/BitLocker

  If your students are going to use the PC, create the standard account for them.

  Make sure you have virus in your PC and update. If you don't have an antivirus, you can use Microsoft Security Essentials, which is a free anti-virus software:

• How can I recover my WPA password?

  Hi - I'm slowly losing my sanity.  Yesterday, my HP Photosmart 110 wanted to install the update to enable messages to be sent wireless.  Installation took place without problem.  Today button blinks and the printer asked me to add the wireless network - I did.  So, my phone crashed so I unplugged the network printer thought that had caused the problem.  Laptop recovered so I tried to add a new wireless network, but he keeps asking my my WPA password.  I have forgotten this and cannot find how to reset or recover it.  Help please!

• How can I recover Favorites and passwords after a change of operating system and older programs are listed in a windows.old folder?

  Recently, I had a fatal crash of my Windows XP Pro system. I clean installed Vista (would not allow an upgrade installation), and it offers all my settings and programs in a windows.old folder. I wish I could recover my passwords stored (even if I have to go manually) and my favorites for Firefox. I was running version 4 at the time of the accident of the o/s. Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Just as I expected. Before you follow my instructions, you may need to change your folder options to show hidden files. Now go to:

  C:/Windows.old/documents and Settings / < user on XP name > / Application Data

  And copy the text to the Mozilla folder for

  C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla

  If the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it.

  Now in C:/windows.old/Documents and Settings / < user name on XP > / Local Settings/Application Data

  And copy the text within the Mozilla folder in

  C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Local/Mozilla

  Yet once, if the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it and rename it to Mozilla.

  I hope this helps!

• How can I disable the administrator password

  Hello

  I've been using Windows since 1985. Just got a second Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium), computer (Dell 3000 s) and when the initial installation has started like a fool I typed a password. I don't want a password. It is a computer in the home, no one else will use it and not worth a thing on this subject hiding so the NSA can get bored to death. It is a real pain to type a password whenever he starts or goes to sleep etc. Is there a way I can remove the password (in theory, I am the administrator - might as well be with a network of one person) so I can just log on as I did without problem for 25 years? I have two other machines Win 7 and two of them just don't start - no password at all. Really appreciate some help here.

  You can use this method, which has been around since Windows 2000:

  1. press Windows + R key on your keyboard.
  2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
  netplwiz
  3 click your account name.
  4. uncheck the box that requires users to enter a password.
  5. click on OK.
  6. Enter your password when you are prompted, and then click OK.
  7. make a note of your password (because you will soon forget!)

• How can I recover my backup password because I forgot it on my HP laptop?

  I forgot my password to my HP laptop backup. When I hit reset password and Password Wizard turns on, I struck then and plug my USB drive but it tells me to enter the password reset disk. (WHICH I DID NOT). I put a new cd - r disc and it tells me that there is not a disk valid! Help! What should I do? I need to get this going as quickly as possible to retrieve my notes for the work at the end of the week.

  Jimmy,

  If you are referring to login your account password, a password reset disk is something that cannot be made in advance.  You can not retrieve or reset your existing password if you already have a password reset disk or written the password down somewhere unless you have an additional account on the computer that has the power to Admin-level at which case you can use it to reset the password for the account of the problem.

  In this forum, no one can advise a remedy except reinstalling Windows.
