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 forgot my password of windows on a hp p66774y with windows 7
Hello
Try the following.
Using another PC, download the app from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.
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.
Kind regards

Confused over the upgrades and full versions for Windows 8 on a virtual machine
Hello
I am wanting to legally install Windows 8 or 8.1 on a virtual computer. When I look at the Microsoft pages only, they seem to offer Windows 8 one update and I can't find a way to the purchase of a previous version either. Is anyone able to point me to an explanation in plain English what I should buy.
Thanks for your help.
If you need to install Windows 8 in a virtual machine, you must purchase the full version of license OEM System Builder. If you need to install Windows 8.1 in a virtual machine, you can buy the license of retail sales (which is a full version) or OEM System Builder License.

I installed windows 2000 on a virtual machine on a different computer than windows xp.
I installed Windows 2000 on a virtual machine to another Windows XP computer. I'm under the it on my new computer with Windows xp. I get the icon in the bar lower right spots showing an internet connection but no Internet Explorer or Firefox will have access to the internet? In the Device Manager on Windows 2000, it shows a map network intel but on the computer Windows Xp host computer and in the "settings" on the Windows 2000 installation it shows my Realtek card. Is the adapter intel a virtual card? I tried to uninstall the Intel card and then install the Realtek but Windows 2000 installation does not see the Realtek card. On a restart, the Intel card is reinstalled.
Am I a fight lost because I did the first Windows 2000 install on another computer in Windows XP?Hi MrRobHill1965,
Given that the problem is related to the virtual machine, I suggest that you post your question on the forums of Virtual PC listed below.

Run a Windows command on all virtual machines
Using PowerCLI, is it possible to run a Windows command on all virtual machines? I would like to hiberbation disabled on all my servers as it is unnecessary and take up disk space. Running powercfg-h off will do, but I really want to do it on all 200 of my VM.
I can't seem to find the option in group policy, so I was hoping that this could be an option.
The above posts are excellent resolutions. Here is another possible approach.
You can do this with a Powershell script. Something like this should work:
The list of virtual machines:
SE connect-ViServer here VCenter server name
$vms = get - VM
If you have installed Powershell and PSRemoting enabled on each virtual machine, run the following:
$vms | foreach-object {Invoke-Command - ComputerName $_.} Name - ScriptBlock {powercfg - h}
If you have not installed Powershell and PSRemoting on each virtual machine, use WMI:
foreach ($vm to $vms)
{
$vmName = $vm. Name
(\[WMIClass\] ")
(' $vmName\ROOT\CIMV2: Win32_Process "). Create ("cmd /c powercfg - h)}
You should probably use the WMI method since it is unlikely that all of your virtual machines have Powershell installed and configured for remote access.

I have a new HP Photosmart 7520 e-all-in-one printer just out the box. I removed the tape and cartridge access door does not open more than 40 degrees. The figure represents about 80 degrees. I'm afraid to force it. I can't put new cartridges in the printer. Very frustrated trying to get help. It doesn't seem to be a phone number or Web site for direct assistance. HP has really gone down hill. Help!
