I can connect using my fingerprint, but can't remember the Vista administrator password?
I have a HP 6910 and just don't remember my password admin for the life of me. What I did, when I logged in, is created another admin account, just in case where the finger print reader has stopped working. But I still want to understand how to reset my main admin account? I'd be concerned or maybe just remove that one use a new I created my main?
Hello
I suggest you to see link below and check if it helps.
What to do if you forget your Windows password: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-to-do-if-you-forget-your-Windows-password
Cannot perform these steps on Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic and Windows Vista Home Premium.
In this case, try the steps manually, log on to the new account administrator and delete the password of the user account and then set the new password.

Can not activate the Vista administrator account
Trying to access the admin account to change some settings in outlook. After visiting the forum have tried the following: CMD CMD in the search box, make a right click, run as administrator
Type: net user administrator/activate: Yes – it's the answer
The syntax of this command is:
NET USER
[username [password I *] [options]] [/ DOMAIN]
username {password I *} / add [options] [/ domain]
username [/ TIMES: {time I have all THE}]
Also tried: net user administrator activate: Yes This is the answer
System 5 error
Access is denied
You have correctly entered the order, and you do not use from an elevated command prompt.
Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [provide the password/OK UAC]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]
Exit the command prompt.
Note that you must have a space after "administrator" and before the backslash.

Hello
Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
wish.Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

I stopped to receive mail after December 31. It indicates that the computer cannot connect to my account but when I log in with my password I get the message "this account already exists." How can I get my email account to work again?
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan
First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.
From the Mail menu bar, you select
▹ Connection Doctor window
In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.
Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

Cannot connect using ThinkVantage Fingerprint software
Hi, I can't connect using my fingerprint reader. I'm sure that the fingerprint reader is OK, I sucessfully registered fingerprints. I activated the connection of the fingerprint, when the computer starts, windows 7 message saying 'Slide your finger on the green' appears, but when I drag the finger, nothing happens. Fingerprint reader just a flashing green (when I try to finger Chipeur, who is not registered, flashes orange, so fingerprints are registered properly).
I tried to uninstall the software of fingerprints and the pilot, but his does not work. I connect with the domain account.
OS: Windows 7 x 64
Lenovo T410 (NT7Q7MC)
ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software version: 5.9.4
Thank you very much for the help!

The domain account is probably the question given that the fingerprint software is installed for local connections. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

* Original title: get the product key
I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?
Hello
Your question is not very clear to understand.
If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.
There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.
How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.
Try Amazon.com, etc.
___________________________________________________________
And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?
There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:- 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).
- Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created 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)

Hello TomNeumeyer,
Your computer initially comes preinstalled with Windows Vista HP on this subject, the manufacturer? If so, you will need to contact them to get an installation disc. If you have a Setup for Windows Vista HP disk and a product key, simply insert the DVD and start the installation.
Thank you

How can I access my computer from the Windows screen when I do not have an icon of comments and it won't recognize my password? I have Windows 7 on my laptop but Windows XP on the PC that I can't access.
Unless you have added a password for the built-in Administrator account, you can use this account to log in and reset the password of other users or creating new users:

I need a vista clean reinstallationof. I jave an Acer laptop and I have the key product for the vista operating system installed which has completely disappeared. How can I get a copy of vista to reinstall?
Hello
See if you have a Recovery Partition of Acer.
http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
