How can I recover administrator password?
Hello
I have 2 Director of accounts (I forgot the password) and a standard user account. I forgot the admin password so I can't download all the programs since internet or make changes to the system.
How can I recover the password administration? Here are the steps I have already taken.
1 sticky keys but didn't that I need an installation CD and it did not work.
2. I tried to download program from CNET but password user account control is requested.
3. calls for example net user (tried this when logged in as user standard I should try it in safe mode and cmd?)4 password reset diskI could get access to another computer if it would be of any use.
There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:- Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
- Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
- Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
- Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
- Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
When you're done, plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble. -

Hello
2 minutes ago I reset my fire Fox, because I had a few Add-ons unnecessary on my fire Fox, before rebooting, I had my sync on fire fox 34 v. account after reset now I can't use my account because I forgot my password, I used this link : https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot to retrieve my password but to pop every time this error: "unable to locate your account. Please check your user name.
so, how can I recover my password?more info: I used my email inbox to find my account name and password, I found a subject of the e-mail: "Verify your account" I clicked on [Verify] and fire fox sent to this address: [email protected], > > please confirm your firefox help question!
[click here to check your e-mail] after clicking on I visited the link, arises in fact!What do?
Please help me I have so many important saved passwords and history on my latest data.
Thank you very much.
"before the reset, I had my account for synchronization on fire fox 34 v."
Why do you use Firefox 15.0 now? It uses an older version of Sync - 29 Firefox and later versions use a different, more recent synchronization version that uses another type of account - https://accounts.firefox.com/signup
The old and the new version are not compatible with each other. Users can update one account of synchronization for the new version, but there is no way to "go back"; as it appears, you can try to do it with this old version of Firefox 15.In addition, you absolutely need your password, without it you can not connect on Sync and if you happen to change your password - your data is erased from the sync server. The password is used for data encryption method. Without the password entered, data is useless - no way to decrypt your data when it is retrieved from the server.
Upgrade to Firefox 35 mentioned guigs2 and try to open a session for synchronization through this version. Forget about 'update' from your account. If you were using Firefox 34 before, you already have the new account Sync. But you better have your password, because if you "reset" this account with a new password to your data will be gone.

I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?
Sorry you have coming.
See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.
The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

I have windows xp on my computer but I forgot the password of my computer. I want to install windows 7. My computer doesn't have an internet conncetion as this can't be updated. I have not created a password reset disk. I want to directly install Windows 7 using a disc of windows 7 installation without having to reinstall windows xp first. How can I do?
If you have forgotten your password we couldn't help you get it back, but if you want you could do fresh install of Windows 7 and the format of your driver and all your data would be lost. You just insert the Windows 7 DVD and start with it and follow the instructions. I suggest you take a look at:

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?
original title: Reinstall vistaIf you don't lose all the files you created (such as documents or images) and the insrtallation CD or DVD or can download all programs to add after installing Windows in:
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.
