  • After running System Restore my computer asks for a password when connecting and I don't remember the password.

    I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305.  I ran the system restore due to a problem of "Internet Explorer cannot display the website" (by Microsoft troubleshooting guide for this problem) and selected restore point earlier.  Now the computer asks for a password that I don't remember.  I tried all the possible passwords I can think.   There is only a single user account on this computer.  The administrator account should be disabled, it is not an option when connecting safe mode.  I don't have a system repair disc set.   Is it possible to run the system back restore to select a more recent restore point which does not require a password?  Or y at - it another way to connect to the computer?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/undo-system-restore

    If you tried to use the system restore to solve a problem, but the problem remained or other problems were introduced, you can undo the restore operation. After you cancel the system restore, you can try using a different restore point.

    What do you mean by "the page e-mail always open automatically?  If you mean that the WLM program opens, it is a normal behavior. You will ask for a password when you click send/receive.

    Do you mean a password you want before WLM opens at all?  If so, it is not feasible.  I know not all programs Email works this way.

  • When you try to restore my iPod nano 7th generation what it asks for a password how to find / get around it?

    MY 7th generation nano has his music to wipe and start again.  I tried to restore it in the air several times because it won't let me not in reason to ask for a password to allow this. the password is not my iTunes password. can anyone help? I use an iMac.

    Once the iPod appears in iTunes, it shouldn't be a problem with a password for an iPod nano 7th generation.  If you see a window pop up asking for a password, I think that it is a request for authorization from the Mac OS.  It is not directly related to the iPod or iTunes.  He asks your password for the account of the user admin (for Mac), as when you install the new software.
