I forgot my password, login and can't get into my XP computer
I forgot my log in password and I finally tyoed in the right pair, but now I don't remember what it was once again. When I got I went into Control Panel and changed the option will appear no user at Startup icons so that I can't remmeber a password. Then I rebooted my system. Opps, now it asks me to choose a user to continue but has not shown. So I have no user icons located and even if I find a way to see them again I can't remember my password. Help, please.

No signal when start and can't get into safe mode.
So, I have an E machine with microsoft xp on it. And last night I lost the signal of the monitor. But I just restarted it and she came back. But he started for about every five minutes after re boot. I put it in save mode, and he continued to do so. And then when I started again, there was a "serious error of microsoft" and I sent the error to microsoft, as well as something active desktop. Showing all the reasons of what can happen. My computer is really slow so I decided to just drive with flash reprogramming CD, I put in and restart it and I don't get any signal constantly even now when I reboot... Please help, thanks.
Hi andreasburlet,
· You see a message on the screen?
· Have you checked for fine connections?
· Do you want to say that you tried to reinstall Windows XP?
Method 1: Ensure that all connections on the monitor are tight.
Method 2: Connect and disconnect a RGB cable can help them as well and that could ensure a good signal. Look at the end of the cable to see if you have all the appropriate pins.
Method 3: You can also try with another monitor, if possible. It could also be your video card. See if it is connected. If you are not comfortable doing so, communicate with a known person.

I replaced the power supply 2 weeks ago and left the computer. Follow me up one morning, the computer froze and when I tried to reboot, it whirs and stops... 5 seconds later same thing. The power button lights up orange... someone can give me an idea of the problem? Defective power supply replacement?
Hi Cathy,.
This seems to be a hardware failure. You must get in touch with the manufacturer of the system or the local Techshop for better assistance.

Transfer would not work even if you had the accessible machine. You can download the installation files if you have your serial number and you can use it to activate the installation.

I use the old style Firefox browser and can not get the password manager to remember a password of my main site. How can I do this?
Thanks for the advice, I went to another program... Last time... and saved my passwords with it. I find it easy to use and non-intrusive, and it has several features that are very convenient for me.
