    disabled on the Windows Xp laptop after 6 months (has been repaired at the time) and it says log in password has expired and asking me to create a new but I forgot the password to myold because it uses to connect automatically so I never had to go, before going to the Juno connect... There are no icons so cannot open anything all the it watch is the homepage and this message keeps coming up

    Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator .  You will need to know the password, if any, for this account.  Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account.

    Then, restart the computer and you connect to your regular account with the new password.  If the computer has a floppy drive, you can make a password reset disk

  • 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.

    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.

  • I forgot the password of BIOS of my satellite M40X-112

    Hello

    I forgot the password to the BIOS of my laptop and I put the laptop so that it requires a password, not only for the opening of the Setup utility, but even to boot. The most annoying is that I stay in Corfu now and I will stay there for another 2.5 weeks. So, I won't be able to use my laptop for the rest of my vacation if there is no solution to remove the password. It is horrible cause I bought primary laptop to have a computer on vacation.

    I recorded my laptop immediately after purchase in line with toshiba. So what can I do to get rid of these password?

    Can send Toshiba my instructions how to remove via e-mail or is it Toshiba Service partner in the weeklies (Greece) where can I get the laptop to in order to get the password removed by the partner?

    Thank you in advance!

    p. a. I am writing an Internet coffee because my laptop is completely useless for the moment

    Hello

    As far as I know you can t change the BIOS password by yourself, because it's a very complicated procedure. To do this you must contact your official service partner Toshiba. They should check, if the device is stolen or not.
    On the Toshiba site, you can find the right service partner.

    Good bye
