    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with password key file (works only if you have taken the time to create such a key file and if it is running).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    Why would you want to downgrade your admin account? That would be like throwing the master key for your safety! You must do exactly the opposite: make sure you have two accounts admin fully tested all the time, even you have at least two keys to your home. Anything else is running a great risk - see here.

  • 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!

  • I changed my password of gmail e-mail. How can I change the password used by Thunderbird to connect to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.

    Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.

    The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
    Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwords

    Admittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
    Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
    MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options.
