I am somehow locked as administrator of my PC! It says that the password is incorrect. Can someone help me please?
My PC which I am the administrator does not accept my password. I have tried everything that he and am desperate. I think maybe that Microsoft made this for my PC when some PC hacked my Microsoft Hotmail Account outside and sending spam him. I thought that the problem was solved when I informed the technical support by e-mail to stop the account all together. All I want is to be able to reuse my labtop. Please any help will be sent by God!
Sincerely,
Steve J Malysz III M.S.
- 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)

You probably bought an iPhone stolen 6. Mine was stolen in Barcelona in Spain on June 10 by a pick-pocket. Fortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do to make an iPhone locked to the activation of the work. You have a paper weight.

So basically, I downloaded the ISO of Windows 10 file and installed using boot camp. During installation, I accidentally formatted the Mac OS partition and replaced with the windows one. Now, I'm trying to reinstall Mac OS using the internet retrieval feature. I partitioned a new D: drive named OSX, and there is no data on the disk. I then click on reinstall Mac OS. I try to select the disc of OSX I partitioned, but it says that the disk is locked. Anyone know how to unlock the drive or should I do something else?
Thank you very much
CJ
I think one of the problems might be that my Windows partition has replaced the C: drive where was the OSX partition. I tried to move the Windows operating system on a drive b or e :), but it won't let me. Let me know if this could be a problem too.

locked out
If you have created a reset before disk or you can log on as "Administrator", you can follow the steps detailed in this Document Microsoft Online:
http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/321305... If you actually cannot log on as an administrator or if you do not actually create a reset disk in the past then, unfortunately, you would be well advised to reinstall the operating system as there is no mechanism in place to recover a lost password. This, of course, is normal for a good reason. -

I have a dell computer.
I tried the cmd process for the administrator account, but it failed.
He said "access denied" before typing break
I want to know the administrator account because I can not install games and other softwareWell, that's the whole point of Parental controls on your computer. Rejects the request allows you to install games and do other things, unless you ask the administrator to help you. Whoever set up your computer created the administrator account and the password. You'd have to talk to them to get it.

Apple says that the phone is locked by TracFone
So I buy a used iPhone 5s model à1453 and bring it in to verizon (our account is with vzw) store, get a SIM card. They can't get it activated and don't know why. When I got the iPhone it was annihilated and on screen configuration (on the configuration screen, language settings) so it gets through selections of language/location/wireless and try to activate, it fails, message (could not turn on... the activation server was unavailable, try again later...) So I think the phone is defective. We put the phone in recovery mode, reinstalled the firmware via itunes, activation failed on itunes too.
Get an appt with Apple at the store and they say it is locked by TracFone. Guy from Apple shows me on his iPad where it shows locked to tracfone. So I talked to TracFone twice and they do not have this IMEI in their database, 2 + levels of support later and still they say they don't have locked it. I even called Sprint / US Cellular/Verizon in case they like cdma carriers have locked and they do not have the locked imei. Returned in apple store today and they were kind enough to provide us with a new phone, but as soon as we tried to activate the phone, we get the same error message. Going round and round in circles. All advice is appreciated.
