  • How to replace or change the administrator password.

    Original title: I've got a helping hand me down from the laptop. The previous owner was also the administrator. She forgets all THE passwords.

    Please help if you can tell me how can I know or overide the administrator password and the password of the office she now had on users page where you select the user who will use the laptop. As you can see, I'm not computer very warned, I am on SSI and was thrilled to have the laptop to help me but I can't get the passwords I need to help remove, install or difficulty of the programs, files and as I manage problems. I try to install or uninstall something or the computer tells me that I have to do something and then the administrator password is necessary. I went to the Helpdesk and they were very useful for what they could do for free and it can all work but I can't access anything until I can log on to the Office of the administrator first, then do as I was directed by Microsoft Help Desk. Anyone who could help me I would be happy because I can't afford to take it to a professional. And I have no idea how to get around the administrator passwords. I looked for administrator password forgotten, but he did not come. I need to access any of the password for the administrator Office, and then I could get into some other areas or try the Help Desk tells me. Or if anyone knows how to do all this, I had like to hear on your part, thank you.

    When I try to change the settings for an account via the Control Panel, I get the admin password, but nothing happens. Close the popup box, but the program I want to open do nothing.

  • I need to change the administrator password

    My husband was the administrator of our computer and he died in June.  I don't know what it is.  I never needed to know because he took care of everything.  How to change or find out what it is.  The system restore disk will do it

    Hello

    The system restore disk will not help you find the password. Unfortunately, you cannot change the password without knowing the administrator password. If you have another
    account administrator on the computer, then you can log in to that account and change the password from there. Since you have a restore disc, you can reinstall Windows and
    start all over again.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I can imagine the disadvantages suffered by you and will certainly help you in the right

    direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the exact error message when you say, ' I tried to change my password and he said: I can't? "
    2. You did it of any significant changes to the computer before this problem?
    3. You are connected to a local user account or an Microsoft account?

    It seems that your administrator password is unable to validate Windows Server.

    If connected to a Microsoft account, I suggest to reset your account password and try to connect to your computer Windows 8.1 and check if it helps fix the problem.

    See the links for more information on how to reset your Microsoft Account password.

  • Impossible to change the administrator password or log in to the administrator! (CF10)

    So as the title says, I can't connect to the administrator and change the password through Coldfusion10\cfusion\bin\passwordreset.bat doesn't seem to be actually change the password because I always get the "invalid username/password" when I try to log in after resetting the password.

    Further, I used the old method of changing neo - security.xml and changed 'admin.security.enabled' to false. This allowed me access to the administrator, but even in this case, when I activate the password protection and reset the password of the administrator, I am still unable to connect!

    A detail that may be a clue to solve this problem: when installing CF, it has been fixed to not use the default username "admin". When I try to open a session if I try with "admin" and the username is personalized with no luck.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? It seems that the password encryption system is broken and store the hash of password reset evil or something...

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have to restart the service after the reset of the password.

    Here are possible solutions, you can try: -.

    Note:-a restart of the application server ColdFusion to allow port internal/built would be necessary.

    Here's a similar thread ColdFusion 11 fresh install Administrator Login does not there is place for ColdFusion 10 as well.

  • Need to change the administrator password

    Here you go:

    1. Connect with your fingerprint reader.
    2. Click the start planet.
    3. Type cmd.exe in the search box.
    4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. Click on "Run as Administrator".
    6. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      NET user "user %%nom" 123456
      (This will set your password to 123456)
    7. Plan ahead a little and create, test, and document an alternative admin account, even though you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

  • I can't seem to change the black and white on my Lexmark printer.

    At the same time, I changed my printer set default print black and white.  Then I would just change color when I need it to be.  Then I noticed that the check box for printing black and white has been checked and gray, so I couldn't change it.  I thought it was because I was really low on my color.  I now have a new color in this cartridge, but still it won't let me uncheck the box in black and white.  I tried to restart my computer but no change.  Help, please.

    I have a Lexmark 7600 series.

    Check the settings of the printer itself to verify that it is not changed and there only in black and white (if there are all these settings on the printer)-which would probably override the settings on your computer.  BTW, what is the exact printer?  This is it: http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=answers&startover=y&question=lexmark+7600+series&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_X7675&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US#1?  If not, what is it?

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you shouldget them to at least the printer (http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&productCode=LEXMARK_X7675&actp=PRODUCT&id=DR11032&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en (if I was just on the printer above and you are using 32-bit Vista) and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem)) leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. You can also try the Driver Verifier Manager to see if you can identify the driver or the responsible device (assuming that it is the cause):http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

    Also, check the color cartridge belt moves freely and not get stuck on one side or the other - if the belt does not move, the printer can turn off the option.

    Remove the printer from the computer (I do not mean the drivers or software - I mean the configuration in the control panel).  Create a new printer in the start menu / control panel / printers section. Click on add a printer and start from scratch.  Then see if the new connection/configuration of printer works better than the old.

    If this does not work, then contact Support technique Lexmarkhttp://www1.lexmark.com/content/en_us/about_us/contact_us.shtml and see if they can help you because I don't think it would be a problem of Vista if you have reinstalled everything.  It may be a problem with the installation but it can also be a hardware problem - so be it, they should be able to help.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
