I have Windows XP and configure a separate password administration account. (I have not configured a hint.) Now I forgot the password. Do I have any options other than re - install Windows?
Cannot load or remove programs without administrative rights. Help!
A Microsoft Supported forum, the best advice that you can get here are covered in the following article:
"Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/189126 >
Despite its title, it contains pointers to useful techniques to treat your password.
In the end, however, the answer to your question is likely: Yes, you have options, but no, you won't find them here.

I have used Acrobat Pro DC to embed a video clip in a video and, when prompted, updated my copy of Flash Player to 17.0. Now, even if the Adobe site confirms that Flash Player 17.0 is installed and enabled on my system, the video still does not play when I click on the Start button. Instead, I keep getting the prompt direct me to install the necessary revision of the Flash Player. Can any clarify what is happening here and I need to do to remedy this? I'm working on a system with Windows 7.
You must install the NPAPI Flash Player (for Firefox, etc) not the plugin for Internet Explorer ActiveX plugin. Acrobat cannot use the ActiveX version.

Horse Trojan and never set up an administrator account, after the virus he set up a HP administrator with the password request and do not have a disk recovery or a xp disk to access files of important information. What should I do?
Windows XP has a built-in Administrator account that cannot be deleted. Log in as 'Administrator' and set up or fix your user account. The following article describes how to do this:
'Forgotten your Windows XP Home password? "- Part 3: define a new password as an administrator.

I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk. AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?
If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.
In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.
If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

After careful consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to find out that it is not available to me that my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an older version like Ps5 or 6?
1 can't read on a Windows "upgrade version" which, in my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... updated on what you have, without disturbing programs installed... at least that's what happened the ONLY time wherever I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% guarantee that it will work with your computer in this way... search link for all the things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2 - depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run programs CC well, or not at all
3 CS6 is 3 years and is the ONLY non - CC version always sold... unless you can find a "legal" somewhere CS5

The # is not my # send my security code. You have the wrong number on file and I need to access my account. How do I allow you to select the correct number or can I change my profile somehow and change the phone number so that you can issue a new security code, or determine what is my existing code.

How to use the windows fax machine and how to open an administrator account?
How use the windows fax machine, and how can I open an administrator account?
Original title: activateadministratoraccount
Hello
Thanks for your posting in the Microsoft community
Well, you can enable the administrator account hidden instead of an account
You can make the win + r and write lusrmgr.msc in the start search box or in the command run and pressing ENTER. Or, you could open the computer by right clicking on computer management in the start menu and select manage.
Expand System Tools > local users and groups > users.
Right-click the administrator account, and then select "Set password".
In the 'set password' click 'continue '.
In the "set password" enter the password of the administrator twice, then click on 'Ok '.
Then, activate the administrator account. Right click on the administrator account and select "Properties".
n check the box "account is disabled". Click on the Ok"" button.

I was instructed to set up a Windows 7 PC. It has been used before, but I don't know by whom or how it was used. In order to do a bit of setting up I want, I need access to the administrator account. I have an account that is in the group administrator, Admin, but the account itself seems to be hidden or missing. It does not appear when I boot in safe mode. How can I access the administrator?
I found my own answer. The administrator account is disabled. Enable it, run the policy group, then Configuration Editor Local computer--> Windows settings security settings local policies--> security-> accounts options-->-->:--> Enable Administrator account status.
After that, I was able to connect to the administrator. -
