I'm suddenly demand a password on my Vista PC.

I'm suddenly demand a password on my Vista PC. I have NOT set a password. -What happened? I'm unable to open a session and I can't boot from my CDROM (I tried to change the BIOS F12, etc.) to use 3rd party software. What I can do and why did this happen. I am the user onky on this machine.

Karen,

I would say you fix your computer, or go to the recovery partition, but you will that you can not do without a password to logon. So, take your computer to a reputable computer repair workshop, as it seems that your computer is infected with a virus or malware.

They will most likely have to reinstall the operating system.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

  • Reset password in Windows Vista

    Is there a way to reset the password in Windows Vista? I have a laptop Compaq CQ50 Presario. It is old computer of my stepdaughter, and of course she can't remember the password to connect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    There are utilities such as Offline NT that can reset passwords. Perhaps it would be easier to just boot into Recovery and reinstall Windows if you don't have any files not to lose you. Recovery will reset the laptop to factory condition. To start the recovery, start typing or by pressing the F11 key immediately after switching on the laptop.

  • iCloud suddenly ask for password for public calendar shared

    I'm on a mac, my Windows 10/Thunderbird woman. I have a public calendar to which it subscribes. When I upgraded to Sierra, suddenly iCloud requires a user name and password for this public calendar. The message we receive is:

    A user name and password are requested by https://p08-calendarws.icloud.com. The site says: "MMCalDav."

    My name of user and password does not work. The calendar is certainly defined as public, marked like this on my mac and iPad. What can I do so that she can see my calendar?

    Thank you very much

  • Why is customer e-mail apple suddenly not remember passwords from email accounts other than iCloud?

    I have MacBook Pro 3 to all the excellent - 1 since 2009.  Suddenly the Apple Mail Client is asked for a password for each e-mail account, except for the iCloud account.

    I know that the email and password is correct, because my iPhone 6 s email client continues to download and send emails from all accounts in mail without problem.  In addition, I can go directly to the e-mail page in the browser, for example, www.hotmail.com to that email account and the MacBook Pro connection directly on this page.

    I tried to close all the computers down to reboot hard and using disk utility to check the disks.  I also changed all the other 3 accounts 3 times: and won't do again - too much work and does not.

    I downloaded Malwarebytes for Mac directly from Malewarebytes and updated definitions and ran the program.  The results were negative.  This shit started after RAW last download security in which a group has found a security flaw in one of the types of files to Apple.  I can't help but wonder if that had anything to do with it.

    Anyone had this happen; and someone has other suggestions as to what's going on please?

    PS I have a time Machine that is supposed to be back up all 3 of Macbook Pro. (1 to) but I have never tried to use a backup, then it would be something new for me, if anyone thinks it's necessary.

    It is quite common. Mail most likely simply lost the password and must be entered again. However, sometimes it is the Keychain Access.app.

    Windows in the Menu bar select connection doctor. You will see two entries for each account - 1) reception and 2) sending SMTP.

    The Red icons will tell you where the password is missing.

    • Incoming is set on the main window of account under the account information tab

    • The outgoing is set under parameter edit SMTP.

    CHANGE THE INCOMING SETTINGS

    In the window account under the account information tab, enter the password.

    Click to save your password.

    Check the connection doctor to see if your incoming connection now works.

    CHANGE THE SMTP SETTINGS

    In the window accounts > outgoing mail SMTP server: Select this option to list edit the SMTP... of popup.

    Select account from the list. (It is not uncommon to find additional SMTP servers listed. When you delete the account, E-mail does not delete smtp info. You may need to do some cleaning in the list to remove the extra cost).

    On the Advanced tab:

    Apple uses by default the default ports (25 465, 587), but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see which port they recommend. For example, Gmail like 465, 587 Outlook.com.

    Check if your server requires SSL.

    Username. Enter the full e-mail address for example.  [email protected]

    Add password if it is empty. (If you have configured authentication two step, you will need a password specific app)

    (there is no registration not required when adding password here0)

    Open connection doctor to the title of the window in the menu bar.

    Think you that green light now for your SMTP account?

    If you still have problems...

    Keychain problems

    This to fix the repeated requests of password...

    Open Keychain Access, in Applications/Utilities

    Search for your account. You might find several. Normally you have not more than two. An incoming and an outgoing.

    Registration by e-mail have blue @.

    Example:

    Delete all entries. The keychain is not smart and keep all the old entries when you add / modify a password.

    Open Mail and enter the password of your account. Enter account account information and settings to modify SMTP Advanced tab tab

    Password should stick now.

    Note: Keychain first aid no longer exists in El Capitan.

  • Acer A1 - 840 Tablet suddenly requires the password - what to do?

    We had the Tablet > 1 year and did not have a screen password - everything we did was slide the screen to turn it on.

    Now, suddenly - without knowingly do us anything - pad appeared on the screen and a PIN code is requested. I tried several combinations of numbers without result. I can only enter 5 possible pins until I get a message telling me that I have to wait 30 seconds for retry.

    It's weird. The tablet was hacked? This could happen 'accidentally '? Any ideas on what we can do?

    Hi fbo.

    I don't know how to get a password there unless someone affecting him, but you should be able to recovery the tablet. Unfortunately, this would cause data on the tablet to get lost.

  • E-mail keeps demanding a password.

    I access my online POP e-mail account via Apple Mail.  I was randomly to a Mail message password required with the icon of the Apple mail logo on this subject. I checked with my online e-mail account (which works fine) and they say they can't help and check with Apple. It's Apple who gives me the message and my email account is configured properly wth the password. She usually works well, but lately, I get the message several times a day.

    Any ideas?

My recent emails are still missing.

    But now in my mail icon, it shows the red dot with 123 in it. Is this proverb I have 123 new emails, that I can't see? How to bring back my old emails. Those that I put in the files is always in the blank files it sews.

    Was, I hacked? That's happened? Thanks for your help.

    There has been some reports of people getting their ID compromised through China-based pirates - so I would like to at least change my password Apple ID and put security issues and set two-factor authentication

    That being said - does your email provider has a web portal - (for example Yahoo would be mail.yahoo.com)
