• Error when you try to add a basic Windows Vista Home Edition user account password.

  I would like to add a password to secure my PC a little more by doing the following:
  AutoScan (Vista Orb) > Control Panel > user accounts > create a password for your account
  I enter a password to 10 characters. I tried more or less characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers etc, but everything I try I get the following message:

  "The password you entered does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

  I am running Vista Home Basic.

  I checked the Windows updates are all to date.

  I tried to create a new user account and create a password for the new account (both of my main user account and the new user account) and I get the same message.

  I also activated the 'Administrator' account (cmd > net user administrator / Active: Yes) and tried to use the administrator account to create a password and it does not work either!

  I ran Microsoft Security Essentials software, choose scan "Full". The software found no viruses or malware on my computer, but he did put in quarantine RealVNC (software remote access we use occasionally to work).

• Windows has installed a user account IMPORTUNATE on my computer

  Windows downloaded the updates and install them. When I rebooted the computer off for a day or if a NEW user account, with a photo, appeared on the monitor which made me choose which account to click on in order to open the computer. The name of the new user account is: mscKaamar. I don't have not set up a user account since I was the only person who uses this computer. Something installed this account on my computer without my permission. There are 2 icons on the log on screen down to the left and right corners. The lower left, when I place the mouse on it, she opens a box that gives me several options to choose from that will do different things and the only one I remember is the first that audibly reads the choice for me to choose. The first is, of course, for the system I READ what is on the screen. I chose any of them and closed the window. I don't know what that the lower right button since I didn't click on it. Also, I found when performing a search for her and deleted / removed from each place I found. BUT he keeps his return and resettlement itself, even if I removed by "Withdrawal" of the account with the Control Panel, as well as removing the Program Files, etc etc. It cannot be "uninstalled" from the Control Panel programs because it is not installed as would your typical program.

  Anyone know what this thing is, how it got on my computer and most importantly, HOW to GET THE DARN permanently THING OFF! All help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks, Jim

  Hi Jim,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I do not understand that you cannot remove the user account that is not created by you and I'll be happy to answer your query. According to the description of the problem, it seems that your computer can be affected by malware. Let me ask you a few questions;

  • You have the installation media for Windows 7?
  • What security software is installed on the computer?
  • You are connected to the computer with administrator rights?
  • You receive an error message when you try to delete?

  There could be several other reasons according to the questionnaire. We can try the following methods and check.

  Method 1: Start the computer Safe Mode and check if you are able to remove the unknown user.

  Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

  Please refer to: , start your computer in safe mode

  Method 2: Remove unknown user account in safe mode

  Note: Make sure that you have all the data available in the libraries of unknown user account

  a. press the Windows key + R, and type control userpasswords2 click OK

  b. Select the unknown user account, and then click the delete tab

  c. click OK and restart the computer

  Same steps can be used in Normal mode.

  Method 3: Perform a full scan of malware from your PC

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Microsoft safety scanner

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  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 4: Run the System File Checker tool

  System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

  To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Cannot connect to Windows Vista due to password problem

  I have a Dell XPS computer laptop model PP28L and run Vista Home Premium. When I bought the computer I bought in a pawn shop. Of course it was sold with no records at all. No recovery or restore of Windows disks. I have a valid Microsoft "proof of License'for my Vista Home Premium. Should I be reinstall Windows and if yes how I'd get the disks.

  * original title - cannot connect on Windows Vista Home Premium because someone changed my password, deleted my ID of the administrator and the guest connection. I am in the *.

  Your only option is to do a clean install of Vista.  There is no free, download of the disk.  Contact the manufacturer of the computer and they may be willing to sell you a set of recovery disks to reinstall the system (but you will need 23 digit product key to activate it in all probability even if sometimes it is not necessary when it is made with recovery on the same computer discs).

  Here is Microsoft's policy on software lost: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246 you can see is not much help.

  If you can borrow an installation disk of Vista genuine of the same size of the bit of ANYONE, you can use that with your product key to re - install the system and start over (you get a new administrator account and set your own password for him - or to leave empty that you choose).

  I hope this helps.

• Trying to connect to Windows Vista

  I can't log on. Failed to load the profile. Not exactly an error message, it just tells me that it is impossible and starts me with a click OK button.

  User accounts - the user account has no connection

  This error can usually be fixed by following the steps below. 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.

  1 log on to a different user account with administrative privileges. If you neglected to make an account additional administrative steps 2-3. Otherwise, continue to step 4. See also General information on setting up user accounts in Vista at the end of this post.

  2 in Mode safe boot. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.

  3 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more. 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 [Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  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.  Or you can do a repair file Vista bootable 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 the third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com ) to burn the .iso image image file, not in the form of data.

  Now remove the rescue CD/DVD, you have done, reboot Windows and log on to the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.

  4. try a system restore to when things worked. If you can log in to your user account, you are finished. Otherwise, continue to step 5.

  5. the critical files are under % systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run Regedit high and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" in the menu. Now, go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  There is a line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check:

  (a) that the name of the key does not stop in ".bak" (remove .bak If it)
  (b) that the RefCount value is 0 (change it if it is different)
  (c) that the State value is 0 (change if different)

  Make the necessary changes, close Regedit and try to connect as this user.

  6. If that doesn't solve your profile, it is corrupt. When you do that, you should make a new Standard user account and copy your data to it. Do not delete the old account until you have recovered data you need!

  Once everything works, go 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 it can be more work you want to do. Better not to get into 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!

• cannot connect to windows vista

  I get no message that I can not connect you to the administrator account because he says that its disabled and I forgot the password of account and I have no boot disk.

  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.

  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!
