• I forgot the password and user name for windows xp

  I accidentally locked my computer and now it asks username and password (windows xp). Unfortunately I forgot the two. Is it possible to reset it?

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  If you have XP Pro or Media Center and have been using the account administrator for your regular work so it is the only user account on the system, there are ways to change the password for this account to a white. Microsoft does not allow us to tell how, in these forums. Their House, their rules. Use Google or ask a technician to the local computer (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).

  Hello grahamoverkill.stringfellow,

  Unfortunately, we are not allowed by Microsoft to provide any information on the workaround (hacking) the password of any software.

  If you have actually forgotten the user password, then one option is to re - install the operating system.

  • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

  • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

  • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

  If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

  • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

  • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

• Windows 7, I forgot the password of the account with administrator privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  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 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)
  After solving this problem, plan in advance and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare House key.

• Problems of access to the files of user account after the change of password

  I forgot the password of a user rarely used account, so I changed the password as an administrator.

  I can now get access to the account, but the only problem is that all files seem to be empty.

  Is it possible that I can get access to the original files?

  Hi Carol and John Winter,

  1. What are the files you are trying to access?
  2. how exactly you are trying to access these files?
  3 is confined to a specific folder?
   
  Check what is the file size by following the steps mentioned below:
  1. right click on the folder and click Properties.
  2. check if the file size is 0, if it is 0, this means that the folder is empty.
   
  It can also be a problem with permissions.
   
  Check out the following link and check.
  What are the permissions?

• I forgot the password to my old computer admin, and he has 1 account to it. What can I do to cross it and unlock my computer without drop kick to it through my 3rd floor balcony window lmao.

  Although even I have now a new computer, still I'd like having my old 1 as a back-up if this 1 crashes ever, there is only 1 account on it and I forgot the password of admin for it. I tried to restart it in safe mode if all goes well to bypass the password admin start-up section, but surprise! always had a password and when I type the password reset link under the password box that he told me that I need a password reset disk where can I get 1 of them and I can get very cheap 1 because I am disabled and cannot work more:(si im limité sur combien dépenser chaque mois.) It also requires a USB and not a disc, the brand and the model is an Acer Aspire 5610 with windows vista home premium.

  Hello DOWG pepper,.

  Unfortunately Microsoft forbids us to give instructions on how to work around/hack admin password. There are ways, but we are not allowed to disclose. As this is an old PC, maybe the best thing for you to do is re - install windows on this computer.

  On the reset disk, you will need to create one of these yourself by opening the control panel and clcikcing on user account icon. In user accounts, look to the left of the window and you will see a list of tasks. The first is create a reset disk.

• I forgot the password for my administrator account only.

  A few months ago I created two accounts on my Windows 7 computer: a standard user, who does not have a password to connect, and an admin user, that does not require a password to connect.

  The problem is that I forgot the password for the admin user and now I can not upload files to the standard user because he asks me the password of the admin.

  What can I do?

  You can use the account that Windows created for you when you first loaded Windows. It was created automatically with administrator privileges. Setting up new accounts will not change unless you deliberately downgraded this initial account.
