Desktop PC: I forgot my password can help HP reset me
I forgot my password for my HP desktop PC, HP can help me reset it?
Thank you

Reset the Microsoft connected account password
HP recommends using a Microsoft account connected (MSA) to log Windows. With a Microsoft connected account, you log in to Windows using your email address and the password can be reset using a different device at any time. You don't need a Hotmail e-mail address or Microsoft to put in place a connected account. Any email address works.
To reset your password for an INT account follow these steps:
- Open an Internet browser and go to the Microsoft Web page to reset your password : https://account.live.com/password/reset.
- Select I forgot my password, and then click reset password.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.
When the password is reset, you will be able to use your Microsoft account with the new password to connect to Windows 10 and Windows 8. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet until you try to connect.
For more information on the recovery of your Microsoft account password, see:

Reset a local user account password in Windows (all versions)
If you use a local user account HP cannot retrieve or reset your password if it is lost or forgotten.
HP strongly recommends to create a password reset disk to allow you to reset your password in case it is forgotten. If you don't have a password reset disk and can't remember your password, you will be directed by HP support to restore full original factory conditions and will lose all the data that was not backed up to an external location.
Create a password reset disk
To perform these steps, you'll need removable media (a USB flash drive).
- Insert your removable media.
- Open accounts by clicking theStart button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, and then clicking user accounts.
- In the left pane, clickcreate a password reset disk, and then follow the instructions. Make sure that you store the disk to reset password in place safe.
Reset your password using the password reset disk
If you enter the wrong password when you attempt to log on, Windows displays a message that the password is incorrect.
- Click OK to close the message.
- Click reset password, and then insert your password reset disk or USB key.
- Follow the steps in the password reset Wizard to create a new password.
- Login with the new password. If you forget your password again, you can use the same password reset disk. You don't need to make a new.

I recently formatted my c: drive and reinstalled windows Vista and lost my data from firefox. When I was trying to connect to my sync account, I tried to set it manually but I forgot my password. So I reset my password, but accidentally changed my sync key, so in fact, I lost all my data. Stupid, Yes. Is it possible that I can recover the data? Maybe the servers to keep information removed for awhile before they are actually annihilated?
Remove the old password first, and then reset the SyncKey key again to clear the old SyncKey key (which you just restore), in the password manager.

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.

I forgot my password and the 'forgotten' paswword does not work
I forgot my password and the 'forgotten' paswword does not work

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.
