I can't connect to Windows XP because I do not remember the password, I never asked before.
When I turned on the computer using Windows XP, Microsoft Windows blue screen opens, tells me to click on my user name (that was) and then type my password. I tried all the passwords I can think of, and none works. Microsoft technical support shows a video on how to change my password, but the s I see does not allow me to do what says the video. I changed my password to Microsoft on my other computer using Windows 7, but this password no longer works.
If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting.
To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.
Once logged in as administrator, you should be able to change the passwords for any account.

Beyond that, it's against the forum rules to help with password issues.

I'm very angry. This requirement came recently and I have not messed with windows live for some time after the release of the xbox. When I looked at my live ID, he said it was my former work email: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *. I haven't worked at whole foods for ovr, five years and that e-mail is no longer active. I need to retrieve my content and I'm ready to share any information (it is POSSIBLE FIND, of course) to prove I'm ME, but I don't have an old map of flow rate 10 years ago... YOU DO? I have f you do, you are a fool. I don't think I should be punished for signing up so early, it's RIDICULOUS. I'm not some stupid nerd trying to steal someone's NICO BELLIK... I am a CUSTOMER and should be treated as such. I got him a lot of money into this product and I EXPECT to USE!
It is a forum for peer-to-peer users like you. So all this DO YOU, you're a fool, etc. is useless. In all cases, you must take your rant on forums proper... This isn't it.

Under Tools settings, remember passwords, there exception to remember do not sign of netflix in, but every time I come back, even if I closed and reopened firefox, it connects me always. I unchecked remember passwords nothing helps. However, netflix seems to be the site only problem for this.
Running windows 7, 64 b, firefox 4.01What you did to close all tabs with the Netflix site on it if before closing Firefox?
Otherwise restore session puts the cookies and they are still there since the previous session.
You should also let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.Saved passwords are important if there is a password on the page form and that the form is filled automatically or after typing the first letters of the name.

I bought a used computer windows 7 and there are 3 profiles of users, who have admin status. I was able to penetrate by a guest profile, but I can't remove a user profile admin, to remove all the programs or make me an admin because I do not have the passwords. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I have no discs either.

If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned the
first thing I could do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone
other errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc. and I
would not recommend anyone else to do.Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you
do not reinstall Windows properly. -

Hi everyone, this is my first post, also help on the post would be appreciated.
I bought ipad air 1 after that 2013 but can not get the pages for free. Numbers and imovie I can. IOS9 running at the moment. I have pages when I connect on icloud on my pc. Can I transfer iPad app, because it is not in the ILO purchased in itunes.
Thanks in advance
Newbie
The only way to install an ipad app is through the app store. PC or Mac software does not run on the ipad. Search in the contacts link at the bottom right of this page. Give apple a call.
I guess is the icon for pages in icloud for storing documents pages. At the same time, apple had a cloud based pages. Not sure what happened to her.
