I need help to change the administrative password

How can I change the administrative password when the computer was a gift and I do not know the password. I need the password to set anything in the computer, including the time?

Can you log on under an admin account - any admin account? If this isn't the case, then you must ask the former owner for the password.

  • I need to change the administrator password

    My husband was the administrator of our computer and he died in June.  I don't know what it is.  I never needed to know because he took care of everything.  How to change or find out what it is.  The system restore disk will do it

    Hello

    The system restore disk will not help you find the password. Unfortunately, you cannot change the password without knowing the administrator password. If you have another
    account administrator on the computer, then you can log in to that account and change the password from there. Since you have a restore disc, you can reinstall Windows and
    start all over again.

  • How to replace or change the administrator password.

    Original title: I've got a helping hand me down from the laptop. The previous owner was also the administrator. She forgets all THE passwords.

    Please help if you can tell me how can I know or overide the administrator password and the password of the office she now had on users page where you select the user who will use the laptop. As you can see, I'm not computer very warned, I am on SSI and was thrilled to have the laptop to help me but I can't get the passwords I need to help remove, install or difficulty of the programs, files and as I manage problems. I try to install or uninstall something or the computer tells me that I have to do something and then the administrator password is necessary. I went to the Helpdesk and they were very useful for what they could do for free and it can all work but I can't access anything until I can log on to the Office of the administrator first, then do as I was directed by Microsoft Help Desk. Anyone who could help me I would be happy because I can't afford to take it to a professional. And I have no idea how to get around the administrator passwords. I looked for administrator password forgotten, but he did not come. I need to access any of the password for the administrator Office, and then I could get into some other areas or try the Help Desk tells me. Or if anyone knows how to do all this, I had like to hear on your part, thank you.

  • Need to change the administrator password

    2. Click the start planet.
    3. Type cmd.exe in the search box.
    4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. Click on "Run as Administrator".

    7. Plan ahead a little and create, test, and document an alternative admin account, even though you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.
  • Help I forgot the administrator password

    I did administrator password and forgot it. I do not have a password reset disk and when I use net user on command prompt then it said error 5. I can't reset to an earlier time because it requires a password and I need help fast.

    I can't reset it to an earlier time.

    Yes, you can: use your installation of Windows 7 DVD or CD to repair Windows 7 to boot the machine into Windows Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to configure Windows to a point before you changed the password. You will not be prompted for a password.

    Ask a friend to burn a CD of Windows repair for you on his Windows 7 PC. It's done via the control panel / backup and restore.

    When you're done, create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a House spare key and for the same reason.

    Original title: block administrator

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I can imagine the disadvantages suffered by you and will certainly help you in the right

    direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the exact error message when you say, ' I tried to change my password and he said: I can't? "
    2. You did it of any significant changes to the computer before this problem?
    3. You are connected to a local user account or an Microsoft account?

    It seems that your administrator password is unable to validate Windows Server.

    If connected to a Microsoft account, I suggest to reset your account password and try to connect to your computer Windows 8.1 and check if it helps fix the problem.

    See the links for more information on how to reset your Microsoft Account password.

  • Need help to change the background and more

    Hey everybody! This is my first post on this forum so excuse me if its not very good.

    Now, at school, we experience a realization project and I and my group want to impress the teacher really a lot of movies. We decided that our film will be defined on a boat on the way to the sink, and before it sinks you get to know the different families/people on the boat and how all this turns out to these families when the boat begins to sink. But the problem is that we don't have a boat. But I have after effects, and a normal size sheet that is completely blue, which can be used as a blue screen!

    I know how to chroma key easily, but some scenes are in need of a big blue screen we have
    So I spent a few hours now looking for a tutorial on how maybe change the background without anything like a blue screen , but I can't seem to find a good tutorial that helps me with what I want help with.

    E.g. one of our scenes are cars climbing on the boat and the blue screen is not big enough to cover the entire car and the Earth under our car is gravel, and I can't have that. So is there anyone here who knows a few videos on the internet that could help me, or a kind soul who could write me a text tutorial on how to do this?
    / Friendly, Axel.
    (btw I'm Swedish so excuse for bad spelling/grammar)

    There are many times when a green screen is not wide enough to cover all the material. You end up using a combination of green screen and Rotoscoping. In your car drive you to the boat example would position the blue screen before the blue screen was behind the windows of the car because that would be the most difficult parts of the car for Rotoscoping in hand. It would be easy enough to rotoscope the wheels and underside of the car.

    Take a look at this video from Lynda.com - a really great source after effects training. It will show you how the various masks are used to clean up a green screen when it does cover the whole.

    There was a lot of publicity for Singapore Airlines called Across the World who had an actress works continuously with a shot that she moved seamlessly from San Francisco to Paris to Venice and across transitions, she walked in front of a green screen that was just big enough to cover here head and shoulders because it is very difficult to rotoscoping hair and hands when they move. I took a quick glance for the behind the scenes video that was produced when they initially released the commercial but couldn't find the exact. If you look closely in this video, you will see people moving green screens around as she walks.

    This technique is still used on hit movies. Note here the green screen that does not hide the bottom of everything, just the parts that would be very difficult if not impossible to Rotoscoping.
