I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows. Can I use it to connect to my old windows

original title: passwor

I have two windows installed on my laptop. Both are windows vista. I could not log on to the windows of the first, because it does not accept my password, even if my password is correct. Then I installed windows again, but did not remove the old windows.

My question is: I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows.

Can I use it to connect to my old windows. The old windows is stored in a separate file. I'm the only Admin and the only user.

Hello

You will not be able to use the old profile, but the hidden administrator account is activated, you may be able to access files and folders in this account that you have not deleted the profile.

Hope this information is useful.

  • hidden admin account is unlocked, how to show only in Mode safe

    Recently, I've unlocked the Admin account hidden in my copy of Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  Currently, the account presents itself as one account of another in the normal logon window, and icons for other users.

    I would like to know if there is a way to hide the account in the logon window and only allow him to show when it is safe mode is enacted (as in Windows XP).

    Hello

    This allows try again. It is not good to use the hidden administrator account, as this is the last possible road
    a difficulty if things go really wrong. So make another ADMIN account with your password even. You
    then have two accounts administrator and any number of user accounts set up (not to mention
    the moment hidden the ADMIN account).

    You can have the login screen requires a name and a password so well that you can open a session with a
    Account ADMIN, he is not named. Also we can connect with any valid user account.

  • I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC?

    Licensing

    I have a copy of windows vista that I installed on my laptop, I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC? I do not plan to use my laptop again once I get this PC is it possible to transfer the license via?

    No problem.

    First of all, backup all your data of the laptop if you have not already.

    When you have done this, the best way to do this is to delete the partition with Vista on it. See the website below for more information:

    http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

    Once you have finished deleting your partition, the laptop will have nothing about it, so you can choose to reinstall an earlier version of Windows or simply put away to deal with later. You can now legally install the copy of Windows Vista on your new machine.

  • I can't use FF to connect to simple Web pages. A lot of pages javascript seems to be disabled. have deleted the C:/p/moz FF x 86 files and reinstalled. No change.

    I am running Firefox 24.0 with Windows 7. I can't use Firefox to connect to simple Web pages. When I try to use all the features of sites Web which include cookies of the browser does.
    Many functions JavaScript seems to be disabled, that many parts of Web pages do not work. I went to: Tools > Options and checked all the settings for something suspicious, it looked good.

    This happened a few months at least. I tried to remove Firefox yesterday, by deleting this file: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox and then ran the Mozilla Firefox
    Installer and it did reinstall correctly, but the problem persists.

    I only use Firefox for browsing the web. I also use other browsers with my install W7: I use Opera, IE and chrome, they all work great. The only extensions that I use are the Manager session 0.8.0.8 and selector Group tab 0.1. My Silverlight, Shockwave, Acrobat, and Flash Player are all up to date. I use the default theme. I use all services.

    I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

    Alright. I checked the stuff you guys recommended on the preferences and profiles. I didn't know a lot of this stuff, I do now, that's really useful, thanks!

    I checked the help > information on troubleshooting and I went there to reset Firefox. Which caused the browser working properly again, so I guess I was wrong earlier when I said that it "broke the program."

    I looked at the data I'm in sync. I started the browser synchronization again. This time I unchecked individual boxes, starting with preferences, then I synchronized and looked to see if the problem is back. It turns out that what he was doing was data "bookmarks".

    I guess that the only thing left to do is clear my sync data.

    Make sure that the automatic duplex printing option is selected:

    Enter the control panel > printers

    Right click on the printer icon, and then click Properties (printer properties for Windows7).

    Click the Device Configuration tab.

    Make sure that the option allow automatic duplex printing is checked.

    If there is no change, try to uncheck the print manual duplex option below, then check any change.

    The terms may be a little different because my OS is not in English.

  • I have to save files in the creative cloud, or can I use a local file server?

    I have to save files in the creative cloud, or can I use a local file server for sharing in exercise?

    You are not required to save the files in the creative cloud.

    Storing files online is simple and an additional service, but there are several advantages:

    • Your file is saved online in which case the file is accidentally deleted locally or your hard drive fails.
    • Previews of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop files in the web browser for someone who doesn't have these programs and would not be able to view the image file.
    • Share the file with another allowing them to comment on and download.
  • Cannot access hidden admin account?

    I use windows vista on a dell latitude D410. recently, I created an admin account hidden via regedit and deleted the original account administrator privileges. now, when I try Ctrl + alt + del on the logon screen, it does nothing. When I try to make everything about the privileges of the admin on the standard account, it asks the admin password, but does not allow for me to enter the password. Instead, it says to insert a smart card. I do not think that my computer can use smart cards... this version of windows vista was installed after I got the computer because it was running ubuntu previously. I can't run the command prompt as an administrator because of the above and the admin account does not display in SafeMode suggestions?

    EDIT: I think I can have somehow makes windows forget completely on the admin account, because the folder does not exist among consumers, hidden or not... even when you try to type complete the extension in the address bar, it indicates the path does not exist...

    Format the hard drive and reinstall Windows and your applications then leave the administrator account - and in particular the register - only.

  • sid number was change now there is no administrator account on my pc, how can I retrieve or create account

    I can't my files such as images, ect. some how the account on my windows has changed as a guest, please help, thank you, Tony

    It is impossible to remove the built-in Administrator account. Windows will not let you.

    Now, you must do two things:

    1. Keep tap F8 at startup to start the machine in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore setting up Windows to a point still, things worked.
    2. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
  • have sites is not compatible with Firefox. How can I use default Firefox and still be able to use the other sites?

    I want to continue to use Firefox as my default browser. However several sites that I regularly use only support the 'other' browser. Is it possible to identify these non friendly sites and have them open in different browser?

    Not really. Some obsolete sites may have a "Better known with Internet Explorer" note somewhere, but even those who might very well work in Firefox.

    • You can open Internet Explorer within a tab in Firefox using an add-on like fire IE.
    • You can launch web pages quickly in another browser which uses an add-on like Open with.

    Yes, you can use a USB-to-video adapter to the output of an additional monitor. The EVGA UV plus + 19 is one of the many devices on the market that will do what you want.
