    Unfortunately, we are not allowed to provide assistance of password cracking. However, by default Windows administrator account is hidden subject to a new account with administrative privileges has been created. Start the computer in Safe Mode. If an additional admin account has been created, you will be presented with the option to choose the default Administrator account. You can choose to log in to this account and if no password has been set for this account, you can use it to remove passwords for other accounts.

  • I have a problem with the connection to the computer by using the administrator password.

    Original title: RESET MY ADMINISTRATIVE PASSWORD!

    I read a LOT of reviews Q & A on this website that attempt to explain how to change a password administration windows 7, but none have helped. I wanted to put parental controls on my account initially in order to avoid the display of some sites on my browser. Of course, I didn't understand that this control is defined in the internet options. In my ignorance, I went for the parental controls in Control Panel but found that I couldn't put parental controls on my account because it was the only account and, therefore, the administrator. To set up parental controls, I created a new account. Later, I changed the settings of the account on both accounts. I changed the new administrator account and changed the original account (use the Everyone account) to a standard user. Therefore, I have contiunued to try to put in place controls, but I was interrupted by a completely random computer restart! I DID NOT HAVE IT! I was pretty confused, but I decided that I would forget the reboot and connect to my new administrator account to continue with the configuration of the parental control. Do not forget that I have not set a password for this new account yet, so I wasn't surprised when he asked for a new password. So I typed in my old password from my previous account, (who had been the administrator password), typed the password twice and you press on enter. He said it was the wrong password. I typed in every password I've ever had in and since then I have not had administrative access to my own computer. I tried to access the cmd and as an administrator, but it NEED THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD! PLEASE HELP ME!

    Here you go:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before changed your account details.
    6. plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is taking a huge risk.
  • Something wrong with the administrator?

    OK, so when I try to go on my computer as an administrator, it works very well for about 3-5 minutes. But after that, I can't use Ctrl + Alt + Delete, whenever I try to open the Internet, either Chrome or IE, it acts like it's going to open it, but not after 10 seconds. Also, when I try to go in Control Panel configuration, or any other document on my computer, it opens then freezes when I try to view another page, or even close. Now indicated previously I can't use Ctrl + Alt + Delete. What happens when I do, it displays an error message (cannot think of it at the top of my head) and gives me an option to press ok, that brings back me to my office.

    After all that, however, when I go into safe mode and change my Admin user status, for the standard user. Everything works the same, apart from the fact that I can't do things admins can do without a password. In fact, this is how I'm typing this, as a Standard user. If anyone can shed some light on the situation I would be very happy. The only thing I could think is that MSE has found a virus on my computer, but quarantined it. I could not remove without being in safe mode. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
    -Joseph

    Hi Joseph,.

    Thank you for giving us the opportunity to answer your question of Windows.

    Note:
    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:



    Try the SFC (System File Checker) scan on the computer.

    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

  • Satellite A210 - 10 c only works with the 800 Mhz instead of 1.6 Ghz

    Hello

    I have a very big problem. One day, I look in Vista on my resource monitor and see that the max freuquence is only 50%.

    So first of all I think that is no problem because the assets 'energy savings' energy recorded.
    I have a Satellite A210 - 10 c portable.

    So I switch to maximum power and perform a test of prime95. But hell, the max freuquence has not changed. I also installed everest and cpu z, but all programs show the same to me:

    My laptop only works with the 800 Mhz instead of 1.6 Ghz!

    I'm looking for drivers for the AMD processor, but you need not for Vista. Update all the drivers of Toshiba and Programms and BIOS (in fact, it is the 1.9).

    Nothing helps.

    As a last test, I reinstalled Vista, but also did not help.

    And now I'm at a loss what to do.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Good bye...

    Have you installed the Vista using the recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Vista?

    I ask because the restore CD contains all drivers for Toshiba and yellow exclamation marks should not be apparently in Device Manager.

    If you used the original CD of Vista I think that you have not installed the Package of Intel Robson.

    I found the package of Robson on the Toshiba driver-> Satellite P200 area page.

    Maybe you should check this.

  • Problem with the administrator user account

    When I connect to my administrator user account a Windows Sidebar message immediately rises:

    "Settings.ini is being used by another process. Close the other program, and then click Retry, or click Cancel to exit sidebar. »

    The problem is that there is no other program to close so I click on no to cancel. There is also a message from Catalyst Control Centre (program of ATI technology video card) that comes immediately after the message of the sidebar:

    "The host application has stopped working a problem caused the program blocking works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

    I click Close Program, but no notice is. Try using Windows, I get the message "help topic is not found." I tried the system information (msinfo32.exe) and get the message "cannot collect information cannot access the Windows Management Instrumentation software.» Management of Windows files may be displaced or missing. » !!!

    All the above problem ONLY happens in the administrator user account. Both regular user accounts work fine. Windows help works very well, information system works very well!

    If you "move" the files/folders to PUBLIC folders, you can then access them when you are in the new admin account and then you can place them in your personal folders.
    If you do not Move To and copy to options in your context menu, here is the tutorial to "help":
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/89196-context-menu-add-copy-folder-move-folder.html

    When you have completed the tutorial, try this...
    Right click on any folder/file > click Move To > scroll to the destination where will be moved to the folder/file > click on move.
    That's all. The file/folder is moved.

    Public folders are accessible to all user accounts on the computer.

    I'm so angry. I did everything and I can't connect my new pc Windows 8! I live in New Jersey and set up my network connection there, but I'm going to school in California (where I don't had not set up a connection without wire/local). I have configured my pc via a microsoft account and now it does not allow me to log in because I am not connected to the internet and can not connect to the internet. I can not update/use command prompt to connect to the wifi/etc. because all actions require my password. I even tried to use an Ethernet cable. Nothing works! He always says "your PC is offline.". Please sign in with the last password used on this computer. "I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY PASSWORD! and my account has not been hacked. This problem is simply my inability to connect to the internet. It's BS. Microsoft, you better come up with a fix for this young! If anyone has found a solution to this problem, please answer! I have very important files/software that I can't simply delete. This bug is much too big for Microsoft to miss and should be fixed immediately. How am I supposed to use this PC for school?

    But... In order to implement a local account, you must first connect to the Microsoft account that brings back us to the same error.  I had this problem as well and he needs to be addressed.  Whenever you walk away a network before installation on your PC/laptop, you will have this problem.  Try this... turn off PC/laptop, then go to another computer and sign in to Microsoft Web site account.  Connect with an Ethernet cable and turn on your PC/laptop with the connection problem and try to connect again.  It should work.

  • I forgot the administrator password & can not reset in!

    • I changed the administrator password last week and now I forgot what it was. I can't access or change the password, or reinstall windows. It asks password each time. I do not have a password reset disk.
    • Another user is available

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
