• I have windows xp on my computer but I forgot his password. Now, I want to install windows 7.

  I have windows xp on my computer but I forgot the password of my computer. I want to install windows 7. My computer doesn't have an internet conncetion as this can't be updated. I have not created a password reset disk. I want to directly install Windows 7 using a disc of windows 7 installation without having to reinstall windows xp first. How can I do?

  If you have forgotten your password we couldn't help you get it back, but if you want you could do fresh install of Windows 7 and the format of your driver and all your data would be lost. You just insert the Windows 7 DVD and start with it and follow the instructions. I suggest you take a look at:

• I locked myself out of my computer! I forgot my password help pls!

  I had to put a password on my computer because my son kept while I SLEEP...  Now, I've disconnected and don't remember my password...  I don't have a recovery disk and I don't know what to do... Help, please.

  Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator .  You will need to know the password, if any, for this account.  Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account.

  Then, restart the computer and you connect to your regular account with the new password.  If the computer has a floppy drive, you can make a password reset disk

  If the computer does not display a toboot option from the DVD it starts, you need to enter in the BIOS as the machine starts up and change the setting for the first device to boot to the DVD player. Save the changes and exit. Now, return to paragraph 2 above.

  Press a few keys to access the BIOS varies according to the version of the BIOS. More frequent are: DEL or F2 or F10. On some machines you can press F12 instead, and it will take you directly to a boot menu.

  Good luck.

• My computer is wide open for a "problem user" in my house to display *, etc., because I am an administrator and I FORGOT MY PASSWORD!

  I am "Administer" and have set up my 'users' with profiles protected with the McAffee Parental control, which is a free service for me on Comcast. I a user of 'problem', who will be going to * sites, etc. My problem is that I FORGOT MY PASSWORD! Now I'm locked and the 'user' has free rein, as well as my children. If anyone can help with this question? "The user of this problem" can avoid the protections on his profile together by connecting simply as 'User' or, as I did tonight by typing in 'Administrator' in the paper on the can just access WITHOUT word of A PAST! I tried to remove "user", but the computer doesn't let me, even when I'm IN administrative actions. All that being said... my MAIN PROBLEM is not able to access my own computer. I have no idea what I used a password and we have tried everything! I managed to change my password of E-MAIL with a 'secret question', but I can't connect with my profile that allows me to implement user controls, etc. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED! Xqwizet * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Hi XqwizetOne.

  I think you mentioned that you have access to the 'Administrator' account in the computer. If Yes, try this,

  Go to start > run > type control userpasswords2 > press enter

  There's a space between 'control' and 'userpasswords2 ".

  This will open the advanced for XP user control panel. You can select your usual username and reset your password using this and you can also change the password of the user "" who visits the * sites!

  I hope this helps you!

  See you soon ~

• How to set history for only the administrator of a computer at home?

  I want to give my tab history to not allow anyone other than me to remove the information. I'm the administrator of this computer at home and want to keep an eye on what my children and grandchildren are doing on that computer for their own safety. How can I do this?

  History-locking is not possible (and if it was there are lots of ways to work around). Parental control allows you to keep an eye on websites visited, block / unblock websites with parental control on Firefox
