How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

There is no Vista free download legal available.

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

    Hi, I forgot my administrator password on my laptop, I tried the "password unlocker" program I could open it but I could not see my computer accounts. How can I unlock my free account (IM low on money)?

    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).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint 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)

    I am not able to connect to the user account.  When I check the c drive of the user is referenced, but when I checked under the user Panel is not listed.

    The question is how can I connect a user account in my c drive not registered on my user account in my control panel?

    Files in the folder (C:\Users) user account are left after the removal of the user of a computer account.

    Presence of a user account in the C drive does not necessarily a real account by this name need to exist.

    To reinstall the operating system:

    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.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  • Forgotten password, how can I connect?

    I can't be the only fool in the world that pass-wording of his computer to have forgotten too shortly after. What I don't understand, with my few remaining functioning brain cells, is how to get my data protected safely. When I ask you, the creator of the software, it says that it is simply not possible fear that all the computers are vulnerable to my bad diets.

    What can I do? Throw a computer perfectly fine? Delete all the files that I want access? Surely, there must be a way for me to regain access to my own computer.

    Hello

    You have not chosen to share with us (we're not Microsoft, incidentally) details of your operating system.

    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. It allows to connect and change the password of any other connection.

    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.

    Hi jesse,.

    What is the brand and model of your computer? You have the restore disc that came with the computer. If the recovery partition is still intact, you may be able to reset it to factory settings, but I can't tell you how much, until you post the manufacturer and model of your computer.

  • How can I repair my installation of Windows 7? The product key is still attached to the computer.

    I had just lost my data and I want to repair my OS can I claim a copy of it... The key of the operating system I buy remained attached to the PC

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • How can I move my creative after a computer without my product key?

    I bought the book of mac pro online provided with Adobe creative suite already installed cs6.  his ideal summer for a few years of work. My computer is now upward, and I'll probably update soon. I don't have the original key packaging or product for the software. Is there a way to uninstall the software on my old computer, and then reinstall the cs6 creative suite on the new computer? Or is there a way I can find the product key?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the person selling the MacBook Pro has made a mistake. They should have asked Adobe to transfer the license (as well as the serial number) for you. You legally do not have this license and therefore can't ask Adobe.

    CS6 will not work reliable on a new Macintosh who run El Capitan (Mac OS X 10.11). Your best bet is to get a subscription for the creative cloud, or one of the CC apps that are up to date, and which will make your legal license as well.
