Hello

The solution depends on what type of account you use.

If it is a Microsoft account, press the Windows key + i , then select change PC settings.

Click the users tab.

Select change your password.

In the next screen, click on the link you have forgotten your password . This will bring you online where you can change the password.

If it is a Local Administrator account, you can create a new Local account, give the new account type of administrator and use this account to change the password on your original account.

Press the Windows key + X to display the system menu, and then select Control Panel / user accounts.
Let us know the type of account.

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

  • Forgotten password, but only have access to the secondary email

    Hello

    I tried to install Skype on mobile, I see that I forgot my Skype password. I still access to Skype from the mac app, which allows me to access the page count, but without the password, I can't change anything.

    The problem is that I lost access to the email (old provider which is no longer available), but I do not have access to the secondary email. However, when trying to retrieve the password with the alternate email I get the message that the email is not registered, I see clearly, that is not really the case.

    Please, is anyway I can retrieve the password with my secondary email? Is - a support person can change my email to my secondary email address?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Solved! Skype support changed my primary address, thank you!

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Using another PC, download the app from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

    PC login now

    Once the download is complete, open your download folder and double-click on the installer - this will result in another file, which is the disk image (.) ISO) you need to burn to a blank CD.

    Now, you will need to use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.

    When the disk has been created, shut down the PC you can not log on, press the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press enter - peut also have you to "Press any key" to boot from the CD if asked to.

    Follow the instructions on the guide here to remove the current password.

  • I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell desktop inspiron one 19

    I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!

    Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

    • 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).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.

  • I am trying to install Windows 7, but he does not see the disk partitions and the installation goes to the screen "select the driver to install."

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Portege M400-S5032 tablet PC reburbished that came with Ubuntu installed.  I am trying to install Windows 7, but he does not see the disk partitions and the installation goes to the screen 'Select the driver to install' with no option.

  • I bought my Dell computer in 2012 and had to reload my Windows 7 but my product key at the bottom of my computer

    I bought my Dell computer in 2012 and had to reload my Windows 7 but my product key at the bottom of my computer is worn and I was wondering if it is possible for Microsoft to have a copy of it.

    No, unfortunately.

    But since you bought a Dell computer, it provides a DVD of free relocation for each model, which is a clean copy of the OS without the bloatware factory but just a logo and a standalone activation.  Order here: need backup Media? Reference Dell U.S.

    I would not use the drivers disk unless you need to install the driver of LAN network to get online.  Instead, follow these steps to clean reinstall Windows 7, install all your Important and optional Windows updates until no more are available, so all still pilots missing in Device Manager must be imported from the Web page of the Dell Support downloads for your tag number.

    Other than that if you still have the recovery partition on the disk Dell and it does not start after restoration of PC Dell Windows 7

    Then, you can try to run it manually after the recovery Partition to start using EasyBCD .  This also activates the self.

  • programs do not work immediately after that fix malware 'trouble Shooting permit' said "applied settings are windows xp - but I have windows 7 ultimate

    computer doesn't have any malware left in it. but subsequently noticed that things do not work right - google earth is good example. I then right click on the icon and place comes the list such as 'open with' but there is also one "Troubleshoot for compatibility" list just then up to 2 choices - one of the top is "compatibility with the applied settings" but it says "windows xp - service pack 2" it lists not windows 7 or windows 7 ultimate. " so I clicked on troubleshoot and place comes the yellow triangle exclamation "problems found - this program is not compatible with windows xp in terms of statistics... '.  I then started right click on other programs such as photoshop - real player - makes no difference they say ALL not compatible with windows xp.  --> the next part is probably not bound--> I have 2 computers connected to the same monitor - but they are not connected to each other.  that has windows xp.  during the correction of malware the second computer was not on at all.  during the correction of many programs scanning is headed by correspondent to customer of malwarebytes.  many things have been updated such as the intnernet Explorer and the latest updates of windows of all kinds.   is it possible that somewhere in the registry that something is stuck in there, making the computer thinks that it has installed xp?  for the 'settings applied' - it's just a matter of finding where this setting is and he said somehow 'windows 7 ultimate - windows xp no' while the programs will run to the right and things normally appear on the screen?  Another example is happening on the line using the Explorer - screen pages but look outdated with problems strange such as buttons are invisible - or images have large white rectangles in them.  computer starts slowly and "locks" a lot.  my main computer is very fast - all ratings on the performance page are high – most are 7.9.  somewhere in there, the computer has a confilict THOUGHT for PROGRAMS HE has Windows XP.

    The second computer, I even unplugged all caps - nothing is hung even to monitor but the problem persists.  CLICKS TO APPLY WINDOWS SETTINGS 7 - INSTEAD OF XP - OR IS IT A DISASTER WHERE I HAVE THE GEEK SQUAD TO COME IN?   Thank you

    Even now, I noticed that when I am ready to post the question - computer automatically knew that I have windows 7 - Internet explorer 9.  so computer works but on SOME things - he apparently thinks I have xp.   is it possible that ALL the people that right click and check compatibility, it says 'windows xp' without concern if they windows 7 or not?  have been emailing friends with windows 7 for you, please try and answer - but nobody will answer... (they think it will be the beginning of a nightmare for all of my problems)
