    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.

    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.

  • How to connect to the database

    Hi all

    I use labsql (and quite new to him m) and the server Mysql 5.1.I wanted to know how to connect to the database without changing the name of the dsn from the tools administrative/ODBC 5.1 driver manually. I want to install exe in several PC and it would be a great help if I could make the connection directly but my Vi.

    I went through several forums and came to know that 'Provider = ProviderName; Data Source = DatabaseSource; Initial Catalog = DatabaseName; User = username ID; Password = password', should solve the problem. But where in my case I m still confused. The connection string above does not sit well with me.

    Can someone help me please.

    Have a look here, where I have such a picture to show how to form a string constant to connect to the database. Some subsequent posts in this thread should also be useful.

    Good luck!

  • using the KDL-46W700 how to connect to the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse

    Hello

    I use KDL-46W700 how to connect to the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse

    Unfortunately, you can not connect a keyboard wirelessly on your TV. Your TV will need a driver for this. Sad thing, it's impossible to install anything on the tv, which includes the driver for the external devices such as a wireless (except USB) keyboard... I recommend the SIDEVIEW TV application that has the remote control / function keyboard and mouse... this app is free and can be downloaded via Google Playstore... ^^.
