How can I recover or change a password?
I recently bought a new computer. The former I removed all the personal info in and changed the password. I forgot then it use it not for more than a month. I decided to give the computer to a parent in College who could really use it. When I took it out to give it I couldn't remember the password so that I changed it. The Admin password you put in to access the desktop computer when you turn it on everything first. What can I do?
- Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
- Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
- Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
- Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
- Select 'Repair' when prompted.
- When you are prompted, select System Restore.
- Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
- Plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare emergency House key.

I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?
Sorry you have coming.
See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.
The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

Hello
2 minutes ago I reset my fire Fox, because I had a few Add-ons unnecessary on my fire Fox, before rebooting, I had my sync on fire fox 34 v. account after reset now I can't use my account because I forgot my password, I used this link : https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot to retrieve my password but to pop every time this error: "unable to locate your account. Please check your user name.
so, how can I recover my password?more info: I used my email inbox to find my account name and password, I found a subject of the e-mail: "Verify your account" I clicked on [Verify] and fire fox sent to this address: [email protected], > > please confirm your firefox help question!
[click here to check your e-mail] after clicking on I visited the link, arises in fact!What do?
Please help me I have so many important saved passwords and history on my latest data.
Thank you very much.
"before the reset, I had my account for synchronization on fire fox 34 v."
Why do you use Firefox 15.0 now? It uses an older version of Sync - 29 Firefox and later versions use a different, more recent synchronization version that uses another type of account - https://accounts.firefox.com/signup
The old and the new version are not compatible with each other. Users can update one account of synchronization for the new version, but there is no way to "go back"; as it appears, you can try to do it with this old version of Firefox 15.In addition, you absolutely need your password, without it you can not connect on Sync and if you happen to change your password - your data is erased from the sync server. The password is used for data encryption method. Without the password entered, data is useless - no way to decrypt your data when it is retrieved from the server.
Upgrade to Firefox 35 mentioned guigs2 and try to open a session for synchronization through this version. Forget about 'update' from your account. If you were using Firefox 34 before, you already have the new account Sync. But you better have your password, because if you "reset" this account with a new password to your data will be gone.

Hello
I have 2 Director of accounts (I forgot the password) and a standard user account. I forgot the admin password so I can't download all the programs since internet or make changes to the system.
How can I recover the password administration? Here are the steps I have already taken.
1 sticky keys but didn't that I need an installation CD and it did not work.
2. I tried to download program from CNET but password user account control is requested.
3. calls for example net user (tried this when logged in as user standard I should try it in safe mode and cmd?)4 password reset diskI could get access to another computer if it would be of any use.
There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:- 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 in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
- Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
- Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
- Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
When you're done, 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. -
