    Hello

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

    Once logged in as administrator, you should be able to change the passwords for any account.

    In addition, check the status of 'Caps Lock' and if you are using a laptop computer when there is a numeric keypad superimposed on the normal alphabetic keys, check if the numerical values are active (normally a depression Fn and F key).

  • All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile.

    All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile. Any ideas, anyone?

    So it's not a logins.json file?

    I see a signons3.txt file and a file signons.sqlite older, if you can try to see if you can import passwords stored in this file.

    You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the file logins.json with the following steps:

    • reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
    • Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder

    When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true.
    You have passwords that are imported in the password manager, unless there were errors or signons.sqlite signons3.txt.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

  • My computer has lost the password

    Hello Microsoft,

    MU is called dogman_1234. Look, the administrator of my computer lost the password, not me. There is nothing that I modified the software on Vista. I've tried Safe Mode, I tried Password Recovery "Ophcrach" and the computer has no other user with administration rights. Please, tell me how can I recover the administrative privileges or even create new password for the administrator?

    We are not allowed to answer this, then you should go to bestbuy or other computer store, and they can do it for you.

    People like you that encryption data with bitlocker do it because they want their data accessible only by those who have the certificate. The sad news for you is that you have made a good choice with BitLocker: unless you have the certificate, your data remains inaccessible. There is no backdoor. If he had then BitLocker would be useless.
  • I lost the Office for an account I have when I tried to delete the password

    I have Windows XP Home Edition.  I had two user accounts, one owner and an administrator, but I've only used the owner, I had given a password.  I saw a tip on how to remove the password for the signature requirement and thus lost the entire account.  More important still, I lost everything I had on my desk, including records very important.  Is there a way to get the account and back office?

    Actually, I could connect is no longer on the account I "lost".   I therefore decided to rebuild what I lost by doing a search for all files that I had lost and change. This turns out be a mistake, because I was 'fixing' them.  In the middle of the night, I had the idea of just using the system restore, restore to the day before where I "lost" my account.  It worked.  I was back in business, but I lost some more recent information and feel the results of editing.  So I was patching up some losses.  But I guess I found my own answer. System Restore brought me back on the account that I had lost with all the files on my desktop safely returned.

  • Why thunderbird changed the way it uses the passwords of gmail accounts?

    I had put Tbird in place to always ask for a password for each account. That's always good. I could get into my gmail accounts by entering a password every time. My passwords on Tbird have not been registered. A couple of days, I had to reinstall Tbird after a computer problem. I logged into my gmail account and said not to save the password. When I logged on today it cowardly to remember passwords. I deleted them. When it tried to access accounts instead of simply ask a password he has known a rigmarole of 'connection via the gmail account' and I had confirm that Tbird is allowed to access gmail. An extra step every time, boring, but not terminal. BUT Tbird and then SAVES PASSWORDS, leaving my email accounts exposed, it's much more serious. I tried to remove the passwords, but then we went through the whole process and he did save yet. I don't want to add one master password (yet another thing to forget). I don't want Tbird automatically connect to each account every time that I load it. I DON'T want to control what he reads, and when he reads. What can I do to return to the configuration of the old?

    Since the version of Thunderbird 38 uses OAuth2 for authentication of Gmail accounts. It is the only way to be considered "safe" by Google.
    http://TechCrunch.com/2012/09/17/Google-OAuth-2-0-for-Gmail-and-talk/

    Basically, you authenticate with your Gmail account, once, and Google provides you with an authentication token. That's what Thunderbird records under "password". It is not your Gmail password. The token will expire at some point, you will need to again in the future.

    If you want to revert to the old behavior allows Google you jump through some hoops.
    You must allow 'less safe apps' in Google, or turn your settings on 2 stages of authentication in the context of a specific application password.
    https://support.Google.com/mail/answer/78754

    In Thunderbird, account settings change "authentication type" "normal password" for your Gmail account.
