How to find my homegroup password in Vista
I'm trying to set up a home network between my Windows 7 computer and my Vista computer.
I want to use the password protected sharing option but cannot find the homegroup password in the Vista computer.
Where is he?
Vista computers cannot join a homegroup. This is not to say that they cannot be attached to a network that also has computers to Windows 7, which can be found on a homegroup.

Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions
General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .
Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).
In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.
Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.
-------------
If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.
Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.
In the properties
Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.
This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.
http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg
The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.
When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).
* Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.
** Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.
Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

How to find previous restore points in Vista?
I had Windows Vista Home Premium. I then upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate... I would go back to the Home Basic edition, but when I go to restore points it only shows the restore points for these days.
There is a checkbox to display the old restore points but it goes back only a few days and I need to go back a few weeks...
Can someone help me to let me know how I can see the earlier restore points?

How to find password to put in place the system date and time
I have a dell computer used (vista), while mine is in the shop, the date system and time is not set. How to find the password of Setup/system to set the time and date. I set the time and date using the Panel control, but within a few hours, it changes again in May 3,2003 Help. Thank you
[Moved from comments]
If you have changed the time and date in the Panel, and he continues to return to an older date, then this is probably the CMOS battery that has gone dead. If it is a loan, I wouldn't worry on this subject. If it's your own old PC, then you can change it. Is this a laptop or desktop PC? What brand and model is it?

How I find myself with two passwords to iCloud for the same account?
How I find myself with two passwords to iCloud for the same account?
For security reasons, I only use iCloud for Contacts and "find my iPhone".
Several months ago Apple forced me to change my password to iCloud. So I did this. In the last months, I used successfully the new password to 10 or 12 times when asked without problem.
However, I received a notification of a software update for my Apple Watch. I did the update without problem. However, after completing the update my iPhone asked me to connect to my iCloud account. When I did this, she rejected my password. I made 4 attempts typing very slowly and with care for you sure I did it right.
Then, operating under a hunch, I decided to enter my old password to iCloud. It worked? I'm confused about this, any ideas would be appreciated.
I had a similar problem last year. I had to call Apple. Contact is a bottom of this page.
