If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
  • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
  • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
  • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

See you soon.

    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).
    • 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)
    Lose your data: there are three groups of people:
    • The largest group: those who do not back up their important files or save them only once in a blue moon.
    • A small group: those who now save their files frequently because they have suffered a major disaster.
    • The smallest group: those who back up their files regularly on an external storage medium because they prefer not to wait for the disaster to happen.

    There is a gradual migration from the first to the second group. The transition can be extremely painful. In your case that is the cure will be a lot of time. Start your computer with a boot of Ubuntu CD and then use it to copy your personal files to an external drive.

  • Change of password blackBerry Email Z10. Z10 connects to my server after changing to the new password. 100% sure that password is correct.

    I have two pop3 email accounts Setup on my Blackberry Z10.  They work very well for more than a year.  These email accounts are also configured on my personal laptop.  For security reasons, I changed the password on one of the e-mail accounts.  I knew that this meant that I would then change the password on my laptop and my blackberry.  I edited my email account to mobile with the new password and it worked fine.  But when I edited my e-mail account on my Blackberry, it will not connect to my e-mail with the new password server.  First, he says 'save and check your settings' for a while, then I get a message "the server for your account does not (my server info).  Please check your settings and try again".   I know I typed in the new password correctly.  This is the same as the one I typed in my laptop which worked and I even clicked on the little "EYE" icon in the field password on the blackberry, so I could see what I was typing.  My other e-mail account on the blackberry works very well (I haven't changed the password on this subject) I do not understand why the Blackberry does not recognize my new email password. It should have been a simple change.

    To change the password of e-mail on the blackberry, I chose the SETTINGS, then ACCOUNTS, then I took the e-mail account, that I wanted to change.

    BTW: I work in it then feel free to put it on me

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should translate a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • Pre-BB10 ONLY devices. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.
    • Peripheral BB10. Hold the top button until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the unit to be completely stopped (for example, nothing appears on the screen, no lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red light. Wait through the entire boot process. IF this fails, you can try the method of battery-pull above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts.

    Also try the tool of Validation of Email to ensure that the server settings have not changed:

    If the wizard fails, sometimes using the advanced settings, recording everything manually, can work.

    It's a shame to your mail server remains on the old pop... IMAP and EAS are much more useful IMHO. Well.

    Original title: Windows administrator password

    I forgot my password for windows 7 on a HP Pavilion laptop. I use the fingerprint reader to log on now (Administrator). I do not have the password reset disk also. What should I do to reset the password?

    Thank you...


    Here you go:

    1. Start the computer with your CD to repair Windows.
    2. Select "Repair Mode".
    3. To set Windows to a point before you changed the password, use "System Restore".
    4. Sign in with your old password.
    5. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

    It is available, you have an installation CD or created a CD to repair.
