I'm trying to get my old computer but have forgotten the password to log on windows xp. I tried to reinstall and the rider of password thing and nothing works. Any ideas?
Help, please! Thank you!
The 'password jumper thing' (?) would be used to clear a BIOS password, not a Windows password. Are you talking about? If a password of BIOS (necessary when you turn on the computer), please give the model/brand/model of your computer (example: laptop Dell Inspiron 1525).
If a Windows password:
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 have XP Pro or Media Center and have been using the account administrator for your regular work so it is the only user account on the system, there are ways to change the password for this account to a white. Microsoft does not allow us to tell how, in these forums. Their House, their rules. Use Google or ask a technician to the local computer (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).

I bought LR4 in 2012 on amazon, and I can't find the package containing the key again. I have to move to a new computer now and LR5 keeps asking me for the key of the old version, but I only have the upgrade key that I bought in 2013 by Adobe.
When I installed LR5 on my old computer last year, I had of course always the key, because I can see that it had been entered on the Help menu, but there are only points for the numbers.
Help, please!

I worked on the Web site of our Church and all of a sudden this week, my computer does not connect to the site. I get a message saying that the connection to the server was reset while the page is loading. Can anyone has any ideas on how I fix?
The error message "the connection was reset" can be caused by a bug for the attack of the BEAST fix (browser exploit against SSL/TLS) that the server does not support.

I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?
If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.A single license is a single Installation.
If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:

I tried the suggestion on the error message and nothing works
Hi Honee,
Please, try the following.

one.Then, when you get to the screen with the following option appears:
To repair a Windows XP installation using
Recovery Console, press R.Then press [R] to launch the "Recovery Console".
When confronted by a prompt asking for the administrator password - just
Press [ENTER]After his start in RC - type the following command:
Expand x:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll
(where [x] is the letter of your cd drive)
* NB If SP3 is installed - then the command that you type must be:
Copy c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll c:\windows\system32
... instead, because the files are of two different levels of review
(versions).Then restart.
I hope this helps!
