The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Hi, I forgot my administrator password on my laptop, I tried the "password unlocker" program I could open it but I could not see my computer accounts. How can I unlock my free account (IM low on money)?
Hi, I forgot my administrator password on my laptop, I tried the "password unlocker" program I could open it but I could not see my computer accounts. How can I unlock my free account (IM low on money)?
There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:- 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).
- Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
- Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
- Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
- Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
- Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

Forgotten password, how can I connect?
I can't be the only fool in the world that pass-wording of his computer to have forgotten too shortly after. What I don't understand, with my few remaining functioning brain cells, is how to get my data protected safely. When I ask you, the creator of the software, it says that it is simply not possible fear that all the computers are vulnerable to my bad diets.
What can I do? Throw a computer perfectly fine? Delete all the files that I want access? Surely, there must be a way for me to regain access to my own computer.
Hello
You have not chosen to share with us (we're not Microsoft, incidentally) details of your operating system.
If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of any other connection.
To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

There is an excellent article here by try * 3 for Windows 7, which some will probably concern the Vista...
Other than the foregoing, this forum has a policy that prohibits assistance to crack passwords.
In the case of not being able to access your PC, to back up your files, CD Hiren has a 'mini XP' environment that you can use for example to copy files between disk drives. It also has an easy system restore.

How can I connect to a computer without knowing the password to default?
Original title: what is the default password / restored for samsung i5, intel, windows 7?
I bought a returned a Samsung i5, intel, windows 7, 500 GB, 4 cores. The guy who initially was sold in October 2012 has decided he wanted more bells/whistles and a system w / Windows 8 (which I despise him!). He should not have used it very long because it was still covered in a film of plastic on the cover of the keyboard and all the cables.
Problem is... when the laptop has been restored to factory default, they don't tell me what is the default password. I can't lock my computer without the default password...
Anyone know how to understand it?
THX!

Problem is... when the laptop has been restored to factory default, they don't tell me what is the default password. I can't lock my computer without the default password...
When a machine is restored to the State of the plant and then you are prompted to select your own account name and password. If you are challenged for a password, then the machine is not in "Factory condition" and you must perform a new factory restore.
