I have Windows 7 and cannot access the administrator account
I am unable to enter my administrator account because I accidentally put the wrong password in place. I don't remember to save my life. Unfortunately, I do not have a disk or anything else as a backup so I don't know what my other options would be.
I really, really need to access my photos and files from the admin account. Is it possible that I can recover? Help, please!
We will put your computing experience on a more solid basis as follows:
- A Windows repair CD is absolutely essential if you decide to do maintenance on your own PC. It takes only three minutes to burn a via the control panel / backup and restore. Given that you have never created one before, you now have these options:
-Burn it on another computer.
-Borrow one from a friend.
-Buy one here: http://systemdiscs.com/ - Start dieting solid backup on an external device. With your valuable photos right on your PC takes a lot of unnecessary risks.
- Create, test, and document an alternative admin account, as you have a spare House key. It takes less than a minute.
When you have your CD to repair Windows, then you can solve your current problem as follows:
- Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
- Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
- Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
- Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
- Select 'Repair' when prompted.
- When you are prompted, select System Restore.
- Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.

I have windows 8 and ip4000. The software does not load and it doesn't seem to be a driver for 8 64-bit windows. What can I do?
Hello
I had the same problem. I was able to get around by loading the driver for Windows XP 64 bit from the Canon web site and then install the printer using the normal menu of 'install new printer' Windows 8. If I remember correctly, I could have gotten an error message or two, but the printer appears in the printer window and ran very well. Hope this works for you as well. -

XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account
Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!
You use the built-in account named "Administrator"? If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."
Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).
You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.
For XP Home:
You must restart in Mode without failure. Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished. If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again. If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image). Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen. Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen. If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).
For XP Pro:
Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice. The 'classic' logon box will appear. Type "Administrator" (without the quotes). Once again, the default password is empty.
Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts). You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.
