    I switched from a PC to an iMac almost a year ago and has continued to use Firefox as my browser. At first, everything seemed to work as expected.

    Hello

    Click the account icon that was locked and enter the password IF you know and otherwise:

    Try Safe Mode - several times, press F8 that you start. The Admin account there is no default password
    so unless someone has changed, you should have access there. Then Control Panel - accounts - users
    Manage another account - use this down your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    If no joy Mode without failure:

    Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for

  • No mapping between account names and security IDS was done

    Hello

    I have a laptop of Acer under Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.  I open advanced user accounts of & assistance, and I saw two names my old & news of the administrator. He used my name as the user name and my new name as the display name, so I deleted the old username & changed to match the full name (the new name).  After the change has been made, I get an error message "no mapping between account names and security IDS was done 26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064-C98683.  Now I can't access control panel to make changes to account. Help & Support in the start menu and Windows Explorer are no longer works. Tools on the toolbar doesn't work or the other.  I can't yet run a virus scan.  I did find something useful from my own research.  Help!

    Thank you
    Cheeszz
    P.S. I also started a McAfee Quick Clean to remove undesirable accumulation of the computer.  He cleaned the keys to an orphan registry, internet cache, temporary files & lost file fragments.  I don't know if he has also nothing to do with the error message.

    Hello Cheeszz,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Essentially, you get the "no mapping between account names and security IDS was done" is because you now have an orphaned user account. This occurred when you deleted your old username which was still in use by the system under the name of each user name has a unique SID.

    I suggest that run you a system restore point, then you can go back to a previous point in time before you deleted the name of the user.
    Follow the article below for the establishment of a system restore procedure.

    936212 KB - how to repair the operating system and how to restore the configuration of the operating system to an earlier point in time in Windows Vista
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212

    You can also create a manual system restore point so that you can restore to that State in case of problems.
    Right-click on the computer icon in the desktop, then choose Properties
    In the left pane, click System Protection
    Alternatively, to directly access the System Protection tab, click Start and type SystemPropertiesProtection.exe.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    Click the System Protection tab and then click on create.
    In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click on create.

    If you do not have a restore point system, try to see if LastKnownGood configuration might work for you.

  • Error message "no mapping between account names and security IDS was done."

    I installed an external hard drive 1 TB USB to a desktop networked home.  I use this unit to save the desktop system.  I mapped it as a network drive for my wife's cell phone.  She has full network drive read/write permissions.  I'm trying to set up his laptop to backup over the network to the device using the backup utility provided with Windows Home Premium.  When I try to choose the local backup device on the network drive does not appear as an option.  When I try to configure the location using the networking option, I can select the device but then get the following error message... "No mapping between account names and security IDS was done."

    Hello BrkAwa,

    If the network drive does not appear when you try to backup, this means that the network drive is not mapped on your computer.

    Follow these steps to map the drive on your computer.

    1. click on the computer from your desktop or from the Start Menu shortcut. In the toolbar, you will find several buttons, including one called map network drive.

    2. click on it and the map network drive window opens. First, you must assign a drive letter for the connection, and then type the drive or folder that you want to connect.
    The folder may be located on a computer, or remote server that you access, FTP site, or a shared folder on your computer.

    3. If you want to connect to a remote computer only "-" followed by the name of the computer or IP address and then "------" track of the location of the folder that you want to connect.
    If you want to create a drive mapping to a folder on your own computer, type "\\127.0.0.1\" (this corresponds to the local host) or "\\computer_name\", then the path to that folder.
    Sometimes, when you create a drive mapping, you may need to use a special username and password that allows you to connect to it. In this case, click connect using a different user name .

    4. type the user name and password and click OK. Now, you will return to the previous window. Click Finish and the drive mapping will be created.

    5. If you go to the computer shortcut you will see again once a new disk with the letter that you have assigned is listed and you can access it at any time.

    Map the drive, then check if you are able to use the drive for backup.

    Thank you

  • Dreamweaver update don't forget the account names and passwords?

    This morning I did the update thing Adobe and it hung five applications, including Dreamweaver which I was working.

    I closed Dreamweaver and click [continue] and he finished. I am now running Dreamweaver 11, build 4916.

    I restarted Dreamweaver and made some changes to the page I was working on and has saved those and got an FTP error.

    Poking around a bit reveals that there is now no account name or password specified in my settings of the Site. And that's for ALL sites!

    Adobe aknowledges that question in the document of the basis of knowledge and skills associated with the update. I think that to solve it, you just need to restart your computer after the update to Dreamweaver.

  • Password accepted but does nothing (admin) user. Locked user account? How can I register as a Admin to change?

    Had problems with Solution Explorer. While changing this and that, I blocked the user accounts. My password is not rejected, but does nothing. How can I get as long as a tool fix my problem?

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Remove the installation/rescue DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to log on to the built-in Administrator compatible account now and make your changes. Once you have fixed things, connect to your additional administrative account (implemented by the recommendations below) and disable the administrator built-in again for security reasons.

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  • How can I create a user account: username and password?

    I'm trying to transfer bookmarks Firefox from one machine to the other. I need an account to identify bookmarks I want, but as far as I know, I do not have an account of Firefox. So I try to create one on the old machine that I use to transfer bookmarks to the new machine.

    You can copy files in the profile folder of Firefox on a computer in the folder of the profile on another computer by copying the files on a removable USB (USB key).

    You can copy files like these in the Firefox profile folder to retrieve specific data.

    • bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
    • favorite backup: backups JSON in the bookmarkbackups folder
    • SQLite files cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
