Is it possible for me to reset my administrators password without having to buy or download anything?
I can still access my administrator accounts. I don't have access to another computer, or can I buy blank media (cd, floppy, flash drive) I read on some "hidden administrator account", but the explanation I found was a little vague. If anyone can help me, I'll take the tips and tricks I can get.
I'd also preffer to solve this problem as soon as possible, if I'll try anything, I prefer something that doesn't have me not wait days to receive something in the mail or by e-mail.
Thanks in advance!
Assuming you have Windows XP, you can access the built-in account named Administrator as follows:
If you have XP Home Edition, you must restart the computer in Mode safe. To do this, restart the computer and press the F8 key repeatedly to leave immediately after the Power On Self Test is completed. If you see the Windows logo, you waited for a long time to start tapping and you have to start over. Once you get in the Advanced Boot Options menu, use the up/down arrows to navigate to "Safe Mode" and press ENTER. When Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account is displayed on the Welcome screen.
If you have XP Pro, you can use the technique of Mode without failure, as described above, or press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice while in the screen of welcome (with no connected account). The 'classic' logon dialog box is displayed. Select administrator from the drop-down list or enter it under 'user '.
In both cases, the default password is blank (no password).
Once you are in the administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts to reset the password on any one of the user accounts on the computer, including those with "computer administrator" privileges
The account that you remember the password if the account named Administrator, there are methods to reset this password, but Microsoft's policy does not have information on these methods must be provided in these forums.

Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7?
Before installing Windows 7, I entered the BIOS and changed my AHCI Mode IDE SDS for a reason any and I forgot to switch back. Now, I want to put in AHCI mode because it says online that AHCI mode could improve SDD/HDD performance considerably, compared to IDE mode. However, if the mode is enabled in AHCI mode, my Windows 7 will not able to start, so I continue to choose the IDE for my SDS mode.
Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7? Or is it really useful to change the return method? I have no hard drives except an SSD in my computer.
See how you go with the options below-

I already bought the movie HD, 'V for Vendetta', before it came with "iTunes Extras" but my purchased copy does not come with the Extras. Is there a way to fix this without having to buy the movie again?
I was told that movies in the iTunes Store can be changed to include "iTunes Extras" if originally it did not come with extras. But there is a catch you get just the extras if you buy just the issue for the first time. If you have already purchased it, your version may not have the extras. This means that if you want the extras, buy the movie again.
If you now get the Extras will depend on what the movie studio did for example if they have updated the version you have purchased, or replaced by a new version (which will be treated as a separate purchase): buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support

Is it possible to buy a new product key for windows 7 without having to buy a new drive?
I was unfortunately sold a key for my drive MSDN ultimate (genuine) windows 7 and windows isn't exactly what makes the 'buy a new online product key' instead, he launches his shop windows, basically, I want to know if I can buy JUST a product key? -This will work of course.
Thank you.
When you buy a digital copy on the Microsoft Store, it is your option to download ir does not, you can simply use the product key without having to download the software. Just go through the operation:

I would like to still download it, burn it and install the copy of Microsoft, since we do not know the source of the copy no authentic, could contain malicious code.

In January, my original motherboard died and I replaced the jury only with other printed device using all my old components. When I started to the top of the first time I was warned that my version of Win7 is not valid. (I had used since I bought it in August 2010 without any problem) So I bought a new Windows 7 Ultimate full retail Microsoft online to get going again. Now, 3 months later, it's blue, screening and stop randomly. The Board of Directors, the memory and cpu are all about 7 years and I want to update the new and updated components. How can I do this without having to spend another $207 for a new copy of Windows 7?
When you transfer the license to a new motherboard, reactivate just by phone, as you said that it is a full commercial license:
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
