• I want to re install Windows Vista on my computer but I forgot my password to connect.

  I want to reinstall windows vista on my computer but I forgot my password to connect.  It comes to my personal computer.  I tried to insert the disc, but it will be without automatic operation even if the computer is restarted.  How can I get around this?

  Insert the Vista DVD into the DVD drive and boot the computer. Press a key when promptewd to start the computer from the DVD. Facilities to remove the present partitions. Install Windows to the HD.

  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.

  Hello

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  I have used Firefox for a long time and had a good part of the files of bookmarks and always had my account logged in the browser. But then formatted my computer driver problems cause random I had, but didn't think to make a backup file, or something of the sort on the browser history and bookmarks. I thought when you are connected again in Firefox I wish my things back again, like Chrome. But now, after spending some time in the support page, trying to figure out how to get my favorites is closest to my problem that I get when you refresh the browser you reimport bookmarks of an already existing folder, if well I don't have that at all. I'm here now to ask if it is possible to get my favorites yet somehow.

• forgotten user password to connect to the computer that works with Windows Vista Home

  version Windows vista home my daughter composed of a password that she can't remember now, we can't access the computer.  How to enter and reset this password without factory default and lose all the images and files?

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• boyfriend died, was administrator... anyway to sign as admin... need to connect under his account, as admin, so that I can update

  I am a limited, user laptop, not used since about 2 years... able to update firefox..., but windows, adobe, antivirus, etc. of other things, can't not because no admin... can't remember admin password, but need not if I can just connect as long as administrator to be able to continue to use this laptop and be able to update things... Please help... windows xp still have adobe 9 and no. auto updates available... when turned on was an old date system , got underway, through the bios, but I was able to update.

  First of all, I'm sorry for your loss.

  You can try to connect to the default Administrator via Safe Mode account. If the default Administrator account is password protected you will need to look elsewhere for advice. MS Answers prohibits the display of password cracking instructions. There are tons of instructions for this type problem which can be found by using Google search.  :-)
