• I forgot the password of windows on my old laptop, how I overcame this problem

  I have an older laptop Acer with windows Vista, which went under XP. The PC has not been used for awhile and I'm giving away there but must take all the info from him.
  Unfortunately I forgot the password of windows and can not enter, how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance

  Hello.

  Sorry, but Microsoft prohibited information provided in these Forums for anyone who has problems with a lost or forgotten password.

  I suggest that you reinstall the operating system.

  If you don't have a recovery disk, contact Acer support and they may be able to provide a disk.

  Also check to see if when you upgraded from XP to vista, if you wiped the 'hidden' Acer recovery Partition to back to how it was when new.

  Do you it by pressing Alt + F10 at startup and follow the instructions to reinstall XP

  See you soon.

• I forgot the password of Windows 7 and need to find out before I update my drivers of fingerprint - HELP!

  I recently changed my DV7 Windows 7 password and now I can't remember it.

  I can log on as the fingerprint app knows the password and am currently using this laptop.

  Over the past two days, the fingerprint app stopped working on some of my many time log on to websites and I would like to correct this... but, given that the only way that I can open a Windows session is my mark, I'm afraid to do anything until I can change or remove my windows password.

  I do not have a 'change password' disk and when I just tried to make one, of course he asked me my current password. I already guessed at my usual passwords but not luck... so maybe when I reset my password I hit the wrong key or my key caps or maybe even changed my PW to something that I normally do not use anywhere elsewhere.

  I am terrified that the fingerprints app will cease to operate at the windows log on and I will be watered.

  Is there a way to determine or even reset my password windows 7 without knowing? Is there somewhere in the application of the fingerprint where can I find the current Win7 PW?

  Thanks for the help!

  John M.

  Hello

  The connection via the software of fingerprint sensor validation do you happen to have administrator privileges?

  When you connect, go to the--> user accounts Control Panel.

  In user accounts are trying to create a new account and give administrator privileges.

• I forgot the password for Windows 7 laptop and password required for all downloads

  No disc reset was created before there is another established user except the guest account, but even with the admin, a user lost password password rights is required for all downloads and updates. Cannot download even a password cracker because it requires a password to complete all downloads. What can I do? It's very frustrating.

  The legal option only when you do not know the password is to copy your files, you have all to CD or another drive for backup, then clear the computer and reinstall Windows.

• I forgot the password of Windows. After Windows starts, boot, shows the DELL logo and is our user name, ANNE and under that must enter PW

  Dell Innspiron M5030, Win 7, 64 bit. Did enter the United Nations, ANNE and pw?   can't remember, used about 9 months ago after the failure to remember and put aside to wait to call Dell last. Now out of warranty and their first service unaffordable fees. If anyone can help?

  How I would enter as an administrator in Mode safe? I would like to explore this option.

  It seems that you skipped a lot of security options that Microsoft has integrated into Windows 7 in order to protect you from the forgotten passwords.

  If you have already enabled the administrator account, then it becomes automatically visible on the login screen during the boot without failure. You can see in Mode safe?

  If you can't, then it is a complex process that allows you to reset a password. She relies on you start the machine in Repair Mode, using your CD to repair Windows. You burn such a CD? If you do not, you can burn it on another computer? Please report here to get further instructions after that you are able to start your machine in a Mode of repair with this CD.
