I have an old computer use more, but I need to get some documents but I don't remember the username to connect to windows and there is no index. How can I connect

Hi joedoerksen,

Follow these methods.

Method 1: Start the computer in safe mode. Built-in Administrator account would be displayed on the Welcome screen. Choose the account administrator and you should be able to boot to the desktop, if you have not set a password for the default Administrator account.

Method 2: If you have set a password for the default Administrator account, then the only option is to go for a parallel installation of Windows XP and retrieve documents.

Follow the method 4 install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation) of the article.

    People trying to send an email to one Windows Live Hotmail inactive account get their message bounced back with a delivery failure. You can still use your account name and password to connect to Windows Live, however.

    After 360 days (five days short of a typical year) of inactivity, a Windows Live Hotmail account is permanently deleted. If you are not using your Windows Live ID (which is your Windows Live Hotmail e-mail address) for 365 days (about a year), it, too, can be permanently deleted. Someone else can take your Windows Live Hotmail address

  • How can I change the password on the computer when I don't remember the original?

    Original title: How can I change my password if I don't remember but don't know the pin code and I know the password to my e-mail attached?

    I don't remember the password to my computer as an administrator, but I don't know the pin code. I know my connected Hotmail account information and also the password but I don't remember the password so cannot download certain applications.

    So I would like to know how to change the password.

    Any assistance would be much appreciated!

    Thank you.

    You need the password to another one administrator-level account, or to the real real 'administrator' account?

    If you use an administrator level account, you can enable the built-in true ' administrator' account, connect on it (she has no default password because it is disabled by default) and reset the password of another account from there.

    To do this:

    1. Press + X to display the context menu, and then click computer management.
    2. On the left, click local users and groups, and then select the users folder.
      On the right, you will see the account named Administrator.  There must be an arrow down to this topic icon, indicating that the account is disabled.
    3. Double-click the administrator account, and then uncheck the "account is disabled".  Click OK to save your changes.
    4. Close the computer and connection to the administrator account.
    5. Back to the same page of user management.  Right-click on the account with the unknown password and choose set password to set a new.
    6. Open log on to the administrator account and your regular account.
    7. Go back once more on behalf of users and disable the administrator account.  You want to book it only in an emergency - if something had to get changed or broken in the administrator account, you have a downturn in the future to use.

    I hope this helps!

  • Hi, I have an old version of CS3 and want to use again, but I don't have access to the computer more? What to do

    I have Adobe CS3, DVD and Cert, but I can not disable the old license that the computer is dead. I would like to re - use again on a newer PC. I asked Adobe in the phone and chat and says that I need to fix this on the forum ONLY.

    ???

    Unless it is a volume license, cat help should be able to reset your activation. If you contact Adobe technical support via chat and ask to reset your activations, then you can go back to have two available if you think you would like the opportunity to install again a backup facility.

    A single user license allows you to have the software installed and enabled on both machines, so unless you have already activated with two machines, you still have available activation.  So without taking any other action, you should be able to install and activate on the new computer.

    You can also download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

  • I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    * Original title: get the product key

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
