My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and it does not back up and there is only standard users on this PC, what can we do?
If your wife was using his account with "computer administrator" privileges, and then use the built-in account named "Administrator".
By default, the built-in account named "Administrator" doesn't have a password. If you have XP Pro, you can access the administrator account (with no other connected users) Welcome screen by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice to bring up the "classic" logon window Enter the administrator user and leave the password empty box.
In XP Pro or XP Home, you can access the administrator account by restarting mode without fail (repeatedly press F8 to leave immediately after the computer starts / restarts; if you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you will need to try again). Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.
Once you are in the administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts to reset the password of an account with "computer administrator" privileges or create a new user account with privileges "computer administrator."
If the password that you lack to the built-in, ' administrator' account politics of Microsoft for these forums forbid us to provide you with any information that might help you to bypass this password.

When I click on my Firefox I immediately get this message, (image). The problem is that I forgot my password and I can't even click on settings to disable this option, I can't get anywhere.
You have never installed this extension:
https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/master-password-timeout/
or is this one:
https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/master-password/
or this one:
https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/master-password-timeout-UPD/In order to bypass the extensions, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode. First of all, make sure that Firefox is completely closed and does not appear in the Manager of tasks (Ctrl + Shift + Esc). In particular, make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running on the processes tab. Or you could do that after restarting Windows.
Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.
A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).
Then you can go to the Add-ons page and remove this extension. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Find it on the right side, then click on remove. This should take effect when you exit Firefox then start it again normally.
Success?

Hello
Perhaps it is that you have a SnapFish.com account. A large number of long-term HP customers have SnapFish.com accounts and don't realize it. One of the printer software frees customers signed up automatically, and most people did not know, or forgot, because they never used it. Try to go to SnapFish.com and using the forgotten password screen link it connection. Once you have reset the password, go to ePrintCenter.com and use the SnapFish.com log in information to connect. If this does not help, you may need to contact SnapFish.com directly to delete the account, or use a different email to record with. Another difficulty that I have met is actually recreate a SnapFish.com account, if SnapFish says no accounts exist, or no email comes, when you try to reset your password.
