How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

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 on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created 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)

  • How can I get a key product validation for Windows XP to the OEM of Vista Business downgrade, which came with my laptop?

    I recently bought an Asus laptop that came with a genuine product key Vista Business OEM. I want to downgrade to XP and have installed a copy of XP OEM for this purpose I have found information on the internet indicating that I would be able to contact Microsoft, explain my desire to downgrade, to provide them with my Vista Business product key, and they would provide me a product key for XP, I could then use to activate the copy of XP I have installed.

    However, it seems that it is more possible, because all the support activation is automated, and I was able to get a Microsoft service on the phone representative to activate my new installation of XP. How can I do to receive a product key for XP and activation of my installation?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Thanks for the replies, you two! I called Asus, and they said that, since they do not recommend the downgrade, they do not downgrade disks provide, or provide for XP Pro license keys in case a user wants to downgrade. I told them about the rights of download, which I had heard before on the MS site support and they have always said they wouldn't / couldn't provide me with a license key, even if it was for OEM Windows XP distribution. Ah, well!

    I don't think that Asus just "recommended" it or not!

    They must conform to Microsoft.

  • How can I connect gmail and hotmail, mail for Windows 8?

    I just got a new laptop which had Windows 8 above.  I want that all my email accounts to be dumped in the "Mail" box on my Office Windows 8.  How can I connect all?  I have gmail and two different hotmail accounts.

    Hi Carol,.

    You can easily add new email accounts in Mail by going to 'Settings'-> 'Accounts', while in the Mail application. You can get to the settings to either swipe to the right and by choosing the icon on the bottom of the settings of charms (looks like a gear) or by typing the Windows key and 'i' at the same time.

    Once you have opened the 'Accounts', choose the option at the bottom to add accounts.

    Thank you

  • How can I fix error "changed default location for Windows Update files" that Fit-It notes several times, but does not solve?

    Using Windows XP Home Edition SP3, IE8, and Firefox 13.

    Used several times to install and MS Fit-It tool to try to fix Windows Update so that will download the updates of high priority.  4 four security updates not always settle.  Fix - It tool shows that "one or more Windows Update are configured incorrectly" and that it has been fixed (run 10 times).  He also pointed out "where Windows Update stores data has changed and needs to be repaired", but offers no solutions to fix this problem.  Cannot find any reference to this in the KB or MS answers.

    Is it possible to repair this problem and it will make a difference by allowing for installing security updates?  I talked to Ms. telephone and e-mail do not install security updates, but they say I have to pay $99 to get this issue fixed MS Update.  I thought I read that security patches are supposed to be supported without charge.

    Any new advice or techniques for solving this would be appreciated.

  • How can I reactivate in my product key for window 7 Home premium

    I have a sony vaio VPC 111FM PC with original edition window7 OS Home premium. I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate. I was disappointed because some of the features my pc. was not able to operate, some drivers are absent, and software up to date, I try to install the updates several times but the problem continue to insist. While im updating I have discovered that the ultimate installed is not genuine.  I want to go back to his pre installed OS Windows 7 Home premium / factory setting, but I don't have the disk. I bought the PC from BEST BUY CA. without OS to windows 7 and recovery inside the box disk installer. CAN you help me to solve my problem? IM know not so much in the operation of a computer. Pls help me step by step to sove my concern. TY very much.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • How can I get rid of an offer for windows download 10

    When I go to the MSN.com site I have a pop-up asking me to download windows 10. My browser (Firefox) is set to block pop-ups.

    You must install an anti-ad - for example, the Adblock Plus - when it is installed, you can configure it to block single-elements, such as the pop-up, and when this is done, another element of blocking should be done - you know, the screen turns dark, when the window appears - it, you must ALSO remove, using the feature-block element.

    Other Firefox users to explain this better that I TRIED to do it!
