How to find administrative password

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1440 of a student (who lives nowhere near my State & have no contact information). At first it would turn not one, but now after the reboot it when I turn it on it asks the administrative password or system! what I do I have no way to get this info?

Original title: administrative password?

Hi Crkeckler,

You may need to communicate with the person that you have brought the laptop, for the administrative password to access the computer, or you may need to contact Dell support to restore the computer laptop back to factory settings.

A link to contact Dell technical support:

  • How to find the password for the embedded weblogic Server

    How to find the password for the server weblogic shipped from jdeveloper please?

    User, please tell us our jdev version!

    You can't find. Once he lost you can set a new one. For this you can either remove server embedded weblogic (delete the DefaultDomain file in the folder system11.1.1.x.x.x.x.) either you go to the system11.1.1x.xx.x/DefaultDomain/servers/DefaultServer/security folder and open the file boot.properties and delete the encrypted user name and password values and enter the new values for them in normal character. Save the file and restart the integrated server. Connection with the new username and password and it should work.

    The new user name and password are encrypted automatically.

    How and where can I find the password wi - fi direct for my newly purchased printer envy 5540. This is necessary so that I can print directly from my ipad. It drives me crazy that such an important yet simple piece of information is difficult to obtain.

    By reading the User Guide it is said you can see that by printing the Config network printer sheet.   You can do it from the front panel.

    Dear Sir.
    I managed to set up an ad - hoc network between pc and tosh tecra m2, but before I tried to connect them with a straight cable (lpt1, error!) and had to set passwords for user accounts and guests on the pc: the thing is, I deleted the password on the main account of the computer the laptop cannot connect without password!
    from PC to laptop I can connect with a password I remembered: how to find them? It was so bad and a true error!
    both computers are in the network, they 'see' each other on both sides
    Thanks in advance

  • How to find the password for the administrator account (forgot it and don't know the trick)

    I recently got a new labtop and there was already an admin account and a guest won't be able to access admin one I used the prompt, its my labtop but the person known not more because it is a gift, so is it every way possible to clear all the stuff off this or just be able to access the administrator account

    The laptop has the option to restore to day? Some come with a disk partition to do that, while others came with BONES and CD drivers (or the ability to create).

    If it came from someone else, it's always a good idea to wipe it and start over anyway; not sure what this person was in, or what are the sites he visits. Would not be a good day for you if the black helicopters landed in your front yard to cause something that accesses the internet of this laptop without realizing you it :-(

  • How delete/restore administrator password forgotten once connected with fingerprint

    Hello, I own a computer pavilion dv6-6170sl laptop, and I have a problem: I put the password of the account administrator a few months ago, but I completely forgot. Fortunately I can still connect with fingerprints, but I really want to create a new... How could I do that once connected to the account administrator with the fingerprint?
    If I try the usual procedure, I need the old password to replace...
    Thank you very much

    Hey mattehp,

    This is a good question!

    Try this first:

    I think you can get a mileage follow these instructions I found here:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Windows7/HT/change-another-users-password-Windows-7.htm

    You may need to delve into the screens she leads you, but I think you should be able to accomplish what you need.

    If you can not get anywhere back and let me know what obstacle you hit.

    Another Option:

    I have another idea about the creation of a

    SECOND account with administrator privileges and opening a session with which to reset your account "Administrator". Perhaps it is another option.

  • HP ENVY 5644: How to find the password to be able to print from the iPad or a laptop?

    I configured the printer some time ago, but now my husband wants to print from his Mac laptop and requires the password that I do not have. How can I find out what the password please?

    Hello

    If you're connected via wifi direct, you can get the password by pressing the direct wifi on the printer control panel for 3 seconds or more, and it should print.  If you connect via wifi direct, when you open your settings on the ipad wifi, you will be connected to a network with the name of the printer that is incorporated into the name of the wifi network (and the direct button wifi will have to be reactivated at the front of the printer).

    If you are connected via your wifi router at home, your wifi password should be printer on your router somewhere.

  • How to find forgotten password

    I was a little too much to drink the night and was a few sites that I'd not been on so I changed my password to logon so that my wife could not see.  Well guess what the next day I don't remember the password darn! Im running on the side of comments for now.  My question is how can I reset my password?

    Hi, Aceswild,

    You can try the suggestion of Pegasus:

    1. put 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 button if you are prompted to start from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select repair when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. set Windows to a point before your password I messed up.

    If this does not work, reinstall windows.
