  Hello

  You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

  Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• I cut a record and stuck to a usb device. I want to restore the folder on my computer

  I cut a record and stuck to a usb device. When I tried to open it, he couldn't. I want to restore the folder on my computer. I know there is a way to restore your computer in the last days, but can't remember how. Does anyone know how to do this? This is a very important video of my children.

  System Restore does NOT monitor and restore user data.  You cannot use the system restore to recover a folder deleted from videos created by the user.

  What is the error message you get when you try to open the file on the USB flash drive?  Please do not paraphrase.

  What version of Windows you have, including the service pack?  Do right click my computer and select Properties, if you are not sure.

  In the future, copy and paste files to and from USB devices rather cut and paste or 'move '.  Only delete the original after that you know that the copy is used.

• restore the default permission settings in vista

  How to restore the default permission settings in Vista

  I had problems sharing files and went to different media pages, mainly integrated ones. I changed the user permissions and tried to add the user on the Security tab, but I must have done something wrong. 128-bit encryption seems to be lost. Maybe it's that everything that triggers this file was transformed into a "read only" file (which has happened to another file, I've tried to share). Any help will be appreciated.

  Hello

  To reset security settings back to default, take a look at the following article:

  Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

  Thanks for the question.

  My apologies, without a backup there will not be a way to restore e-mails.  You have e-mail messages saved on your computer or your webmail?  If you do, you can send to yourself and they will be received on the BlackBerry smartphone.

  Yes.

  You can install an unlimited number of computers.  You can connect to up to two computers at any time (and you must be connected to use your cc programs).

  It's quick and easy to sign in and out, so there is no downside on the use of the cc on different computers.  legally, only the licensee is authorized to use the subscription of the cc if you can't share your programs with another person, but this is the only restriction.

  you have just installed you are the application of cc desktop on any computer you use, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | CC free trial Adobe

  Use the desktop application to install your programs of cc.

• How to reinstall the Windows 7 upgrade on vista for new installation or in the event of system failure?

  I love periodically re - install a new operating system after reformatting hadr drive. In the past it was the of syetem of full operation and not just an upgrade. I have to be sure that it is not complicated, as I want to install the upgrade to Windows 7 (family pack) on 3 PC/laptops running Vista. I would upgrade as detailed instructions on how I would do a new installation using the Windows 7. This is important because I don't want to create a nightmarish experience of backup, install the original operating system, install the upgrade, etc. etc. etc.

  If you upgrade a computer Vista Win7 and need or want to do a clean install (or repair install) of Windows, you will need to reinstall Vista and then switch to Win7 again.

  Your question has nothing to do with Windows Update. Ask questions about the upgrade instead: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

• Windows Vista Home Edition - create and restore the system image

  One of my laptops old becomes a problem with a disk error.  I need to create a system image, replace the disk, and then restore the image.  Vista Home does not include the option to create an image - although a lot of 3rd party tools do.  Does anyone have experience using a 3rd third-party tool to do what I want, that is, restore the saved image to the new disk.  I plan to use a USB external drive to store the image so anything I start since then will have to be able to see and read from the external USB drive.

  Thank you, Ben (Project MVP)

  Hello

  be able to boot from a USB key depends on the properties of your motherboard

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  as you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software
