I am the administrator on my PC, but I don't remember my password for the connection and cannot get or change.

I was prompted to enter the flash drive, but I do States is not correct.

I'm sorry, but we are forbidden to Microsoft Policy to help recover a lost or forgotten password: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189126.

I wish I could do more to help, but I can't.  Try searching online for help.

I hope this helps.

  • virus: I struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them

    I have struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them. I bought a few programs, but they have also been infected. any suggestions for a really good virus buster.

    Hello

    First of all, an antivirus solution to an already infected system of loading is usually pretty useless. The bug will block all attempts to remove or load what it sees as a threat. Second, without knowing which virus you are affected by, it is difficult to be precise.

    You can take action include:

    (a) work in safe mode, there is much less likely that the virus is able to load and resist actively.

    (b) the safe mode, run utilities malwarebytes.org and AV solution that was installed * before * your infection.

    (c) post is back with a better description of what is on your system to learn more targeted advice.

  • don't remember my password for the internet connection

    I don't remember my password for the internet connection, I have a wireless router and when I try to connect my iPad 2 to the wi - fi connection it asks a password which I don't remember.  is it the same of it discover or to withdraw?

    You are the person who initially set the password for your wireless (WPA or WPA2?) or it's a long string of characters (WEP)? --> who is he?  WEP, WPA or WPA2?

    You need to connect to your wireless router and reset  Of course - you will need the router password (no password wireless.)

    Or - you can reset the router (according to the owner's manual) and set it up again.

  • How can I start my XP desktop PC using the original CD of the Windows XP operating system, but I don't remember my password?

    The last time I asked a question like that, someone made it is perfectly clear that they would not help me to crack a password..., three times. If you have any suggestions that may help me in fact, I'd be in your debt. Otherwise, save your time and ignore all this.

    I am trying to perform a repair to the XP operating system. When I try to boot from the CD drive using the original Windows XP disc, I can not connect. It's a dead-end.

    When I try to boot from the hard drive, the system reaches a certain point, and then it re-boots. If I just sit and watch, it keeps re-initialization. Strange thing is that recently, I changed the password. I simply do not remember what it is. And, seriously, I have experienced repeated amnesia episodes. The obvious thing to do is to keep my own hand written records..., I only using computers since 1982, before IBM introduced its first PC.

    The BIOS provides a way to clean up all the stored passwords? This is where I'm going next.

    I apologize for being a little rough. Part of that comes with age.

    Jeff

    Hello, Jeffrey. I just read one of your other threads. Brian Tillman brings a great point that you missed. The BIOS password (if it still exists) has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other passwords, including those for things like a Windows XP profile.

    Unless you have created passwords, while they do not exist. So, if you need to boot from the Windows CD using the Recovery Console, and you are prompted for a password, then chances are that just by pressing the Enter key (indicating an 'empty' or empty password) is all you need to do.

    So, if I were you, I would not at all concerned about your BIOS.

    In addition, I think you mentioned that you couldn't even see the administrator account. Assuming you have Windows XP Home Edition, this is how it is supposed to be. If you want to see it, you will need boot mode safe. Then you will see. :-)

    If you DID create a password and have no idea of what it is, there are tools to reset your password. But I think that people don't post links to these programs in these forums Microsoft (not very well why). But they are easy to find if you use a search engine.

    You say that you have recently changed a password, but you did not indicate what it was for. It is important to understand that the built-in Administrator account is NOT the same as another account that you are using happens to have administrator privileges. And assuming that you never set a password for the built-in Administrator account, so if you are using the Recovery Console, everything you need to do is press the Enter key.

    HTH.

  • Lost all my shortcuts on the desktop and cannot get back them!

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, my living room of shortcuts for a few seconds, when the office, then they disappear forever once that it has finished loading!  This has happened for a few weeks now and I don't know how to fix it.  Also, when I right click on any program and try to send it on the desktop as a shortcut, it does not work, nothing happens! I tried to restore to a couple different points before the last windows update, and that didn't work either.  I also run full antivirus scans, etc & still nothing.  Help please! I want my shortcuts back!

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  I hope you have a point to rstore dating back that far.

    If this does not work, go to start / computer / C:\Users\\desktop (and you may also go to C:\Users\All Users\Bureau) and see if they contain elements of your desktop.  If so, copy all files and paste them on your desktop.  You can probably rearrange, but who should return them.

    If this does not work, your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones lost my contacts on the phone and cannot get back them.

    My phone has load the other night during a power failure and the morning my contacts and contacts BB disappeared.  These contacts are not lost, because it's my gmail contacts list - but I can't get back them on my phone.  I clicked all the buttons on the sync, but no luck.  I can't manually add a contact and not seeing him.  In the options of the contacts, it says I have 288 contacts associated with my gmail account, and when I manually add one, it goes up by another number.  But - I can't see them anywhere.

    Also, I deleted the email account and set up again ensuring the sync box, took out the battery and SIM card and put back and still nothing.  Advice anyone?

    You see if gmail is your default service for a list of contacts?

    If this is the case, then delete the account gmail from your device and set up in this way:

    Since the device, go to mobile.blackberry.com
    Scroll to connect and click Send.
    Click on join now to gmail.  See if the sync works now.

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • Installs the modem and the router and cannot get it to work?

    Recently, I disconnected and then reconnected my computer laptop Windows 7 and XP desktop to a Linksys router that connects to a cable modem Webstar. I did 4 or 5 times in the past with no problems.
    Two computers can connect with success directly to the modem. When it is connected through the router, they appear connected (i.e. connected to the local network) but cannot access the internet. I tried to switch, reset etc... checked the cables, without success.

    I tried a second router (Belkin Wireless G) I also used before, but get the same result. I appear connected but cannot access the internet, even if I can connect my laptop to other nearby wireless networks.

    If I try to connect from the network schematic page in Windows 7 it tries to connect using a PPPOE (no matter who is and gets a 651 error.

    I tried all the MS diagnosis/troubleshooting software available on Windows 7 but cannot id the problem.

    I have an old computer use more, but I need to get some documents but I don't remember the username to connect to windows and there is no index. How can I connect

    Hi joedoerksen,

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Start the computer in safe mode. Built-in Administrator account would be displayed on the Welcome screen. Choose the account administrator and you should be able to boot to the desktop, if you have not set a password for the default Administrator account.

    Method 2: If you have set a password for the default Administrator account, then the only option is to go for a parallel installation of Windows XP and retrieve documents.

    Follow the method 4 install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation) of the article.
