I forgot my password to get into Windows XP; My clue to help me only remember part of the password. What can I do?

The modem on my computer went wrong & couldn't be fixed, so I bought a new computer.

I took the hard drive from my old computer and installed in a tower, I had.

Everything is up and running, but it's been so long, I don't remember my password to get into Windows XP.

Is there anyway I can retrieve this password, or set up a new without having to reinstall windows?

Thanks for any help.

    I had bad sectors on my hard drive, so I had to try to repair my installation of windows XP. Now, when I'm trying to get into windows, it says I need to activate WIndows and I can't because scripts are disabled. Then he told me just that, and I can't do anything. It only disconnects.

  • My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and she did not save what we can and there are only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

    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.

  • After installing Windows Vista, upgrades of office is now only 2 thirds of the screen, with one third black.

    The whole office is there, but it is located in the Center, if the screen, with black bands at the top and bottom. By clicking full screen on the top right has no effect.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
    There were a total of 10 updates:
    4 a security updates for Vista,
    1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
    1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
    1 windows Live essential 2011
    1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
    1 "" for Office 2010 "
    1 April 2013 malware tool
    I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
    I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
    Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
    How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
    Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.

  • How to remove the Windows 7 Administrator user when I can't get into Windows

    My laptop was stolen, and all the disks.  When it was recovered by the police, it was returned to me with a password protected user account.  I tried the steps to connect safe mode, but that the same user account is presented as the administrator account.  I can't recover the system, given that the recovery disks were never me returned (very probably not recovered by the police) - even with the OS install disk, flew with the computer.

    How can I get into my computer and get back to work again?

    Use your Windows repair CD to start the computer in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to set Windows to the Restore Point as soon as you can find. The chances are that this will be a point before they changed the password.

  • How can I get my Windows xp computer to stop moving in waves up and down the screen?

    Today I had to uninstall Windows XP Home Edition and resinstall it.  I also installed SP 2 and SP 3.  I'm slowly getting updates from Microsoft Update, but now I have problems with my computer when I'm online and up and down the screen.  Only, it moves slowly and in the waves.  What can I do?

    Do you mean that you have chosen to uninstall Windows XP and reinstall?

    What was the problem that forced you to do?

    Anywho, if you reinstalled XP did you get the latest video drivers for your system on site WWW of manufacturer video system?   What audio drivers?  Your sound is OK works?

    Video drivers that might be on a XP CD installation will probably not be the ones you need and it is never a good choice to use the updates of hardware which are available from the Microsoft updates - driver Microsoft made generally bad choice in this area.

    If you are not sure what you have or what video drivers you need, maybe we can help you find them if we only know basic information about your system (another shortcoming of Microsoft MS Answers).

    If you do this, we have more on your system:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    For information about the audio drivers, expand components, click Sound Device, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
