How to remove the user password in the Vista operating system

Hello
My son has a Toshiba laptop that he changed the password of today.
Unfortunately, even if he had to type it in twice, he managed to kick it wrongly.
So he now can't get into his laptop at all.

Is there a way around to type the password?
It has Windows Vista.

At the moment he's still trying to find a way round, without success.

Please can anyone help because really we do not want to use the product recovery disc since it will take hours to reinstall everything.

Hello

Maybe I can help you hmm I mean, not me, but the Microsoft Knowledge base article that I found on the site of MS:

* [How to use system restore to log in Windows Vista when you lose access to an account | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940765/en-us] *.

I would appreciate any comments from you.

Good bye

  • several operating systems on my laptop... I installed two windows 7 operating systems... How to remove the old operating system.

    Hello

    I installed windows 7 on my laptop but it did not work properly. Still, I installed windows 7 but it did not drive partitions.

    It will automatically take the disk partitions. program files recent operating system (windows 7) are in the D drive.

    I have two questions.

    1. How do I uninstall the previous windows 7 (these program files are in the C drive).

    2. how windows 7 current (drive D) program files in the C drive.

    Please help with these issues.

    Thanking you.

    Sorry, you can't move the current from D: to C: operating system because the registry contains countless references to D: all would be wrong.

    Removal of unwanted operating system is possible, but risky. It is best done by an expert who has the necessary experience and tools. He would need them in case the machine becomes unbootable longer after cleaning.

    Your best bet is to start all over again. Back up your data, and then let the drive be formatted during the installation process.

    ========================================================

    Here's what I use and recommend: (all are free and offer exceptional protection)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    Windows XP instead of Vista.

    I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Hello

    There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

    1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

    2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

    3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

    4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

    If you did an upgrade and not a clean install, they must remain on your drive. Do a search of *.jpg, *.jpeg and see what you get. If I remember correctly, you will have a folder windows.old that they appear in. You can use Windows Explorer if you want to look in your records in the Windows.Old directory.

  • How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer

    I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.

    I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.

    Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?

    Thank you.

    You do not have.  Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).

    You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system.  Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums.  A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)
