Is it possible to recover the password or to reset the password on a system of 7 Windors?

I have a system of windows 7 that we do not have the password. He belonged to a frind who was killés in a motorcycle accident. There is no hint on the password and only one account on the system. Is it possible to recover the password or reset the password. We have not been able to locate a password reset disk. We do not know if it has already created a. ! His wife needs to get and to locate information such as a will or accounting information
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Alfred.

While I'm not the final authority on Windows passwords, I don't think there is a way to reset the password. I think your best bet is to hope he kept important documents on a separate partition. If possible, I would consider doing the following.

(1) depending on your level of comfort and expertise, remove the hard drive from her computer and hook it up as an external drive to a second computer that already has a functioning Windows 7 operating system. You could then read files on his now "external hard drive' and the search for all relevant documents.

(2) If you are not comfortable doing this, or it's a phone that you do not have a service manual for, take it to a computer repair shop and ask them to carry out the extraction of hard disk and install as an external drive.

Its hard disk can be configured as an external drive by plugging into an available USB port, either directly by the use of a hard drive to a USB connector cable, or by inserting the drive into an external hard drive enclosure which in turn plugs into the USB port.

In both cases, the reader must be able to be read as its not used as a disk operating system, but rather as a simple data reader, for example, D:\Data disk. Sorry its not better.

Kind regards

    To reinstall the operating system:

    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.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

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

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

    Ask the manufacturer.

  • Mr President, I put in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot the admin password, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    Mr President.

    I got the admin password in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. However, you can do this:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point until you have changed the password.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

  • Last night my operating system not found a set file and reloaded among other Outlook express things - is it possible to recover the address book, folders and emails?

    Last night my operating system not found a set file and reloaded among other Outlook express things - is it possible to recover the address book, folders and emails?

    original title: Outlook Express problem

    Hi John,.

    Try to locate your data from outlook express:

    Click on start-> Run & paste-> %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities

    You will see the folders as {xxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} click-> Microsoft-> Outlook Express, you should be able to locate the DBX files, these are the outlook database files. Ideally, you should see inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx... check the size of the file.

    Now to get it back on outlook express, open outlook express-> click on tools-> Options-> maintenance-> the storage location.

    Click on change location, and then select the location that you have your data in.

    For the address book, see: click Start-> Run and paste the following:

    %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

    Address book with wab extension, these should reflect your Outlook Express user name.

    I hope this helps.

    If the only thing you have coupled to the account is an iPhone response is that unfortunately not. Customer iPhone (Firefox Home) is just a 'consumer' of data Sync and can't do much.

    My best advice is to keep sync iPhone to access bookmarks and transfer it manually to your new profile.

  • Is is possible to recover the deposits of deleted jobs?

    Hi Experts,

    I created the 2 working repository. I did 10 interfaces with unique project. After that I created the new repository of work 3.

    Then, I will carry out work repository2 interface. At this time, I got error like "referential work 2 is not bound with the main repository.

    So I tried to solve this problem. Unresolved. After that it works by mistake repository2 is deleted.

    I want to recover the deleted jobs repository2. Is this possible?

    . Please help me.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Bruno.

    Once you remove the repository of topology, you can't recall in topology but the repository working scheme is still present in the end of DB.

    You must reconfigure the repository to work again with the same scheme of referential work so you will get your return with new working repository development.

    Hope this can heps you

  • I opened a picture with preview and all pixels become white. Is it possible to recover the original image?

    I just opened the photo and every pixel in it became white. There is no way to return to a previous version of the image, as if she had initially being that color. The size of the image remains the same, but each pixel is white.

    This is the second time that's happened, but the previous one, I was able to recover the deleted original file on my SD card, which is not an option at this time.

    I would like to know if there is an app or option on Preview that allows me to recover the original image.

  • Lost the original files, is it possible to recover the project through preview files?

    Crashed my hard drive with windows but I have files preview and project on the other drive. Is it posible to recover my project?

    Depending on how the bad hard drive is, you might be able to plug it as a secondary drive and specify files off of it or send them to a service to extract the files. I don't think there is anyway to recover the files through something that first creates.

  • How to recover the Windows Vista operating system on laptop

    I have unix opreating system in my laptop (exhaust). First of all I can get all my documents and application. Secondly, how can I recover my window vista opreating system. Please give me your advice.

    * original title - how to get back my window visited opreating system *.

    Programs must be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, etc..

    Save your data on external hard drive, Flash drive, etc...

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • possible to start the MXI-3/PXI system after booting the PC?

    Hello

    I'm new here, so I just asked this question in another thread with a response. I did not notice that it was already marked as solved, so I'll ask again in my own thread.

    My problem sounds very akin to that of Kobi, but there are a few differences that hold my hopes up that the problem could be solved. Summary of the configuration of the system:

    -PC (MXI-3)

    -> PXI1002 (Chassis1)

    -> PXI8335 (port1 - in)

    -> PXI8335 (port2 - out)

    -> PXI5122 (measure)

    -> PXI1002 (Chassis2)

    -> PXI8335 (port1 - in)

    -> PXI5122 (measure)

    The goal is, as it is easy to guess, to be able to start at any time, additional measuring devices even when the pc is already running.

    The situation is different from ' Kobis in a precise point: in my case the cards and all equipment is permanently visible in MAX, even if I started after the pc has started. This change is the boss of the leds, and PXI cards do not pass the test in MAX. The following screenshot shows the configuration of the system how it is observed after the two ways to start the full system (first first pc or PXI).

    (Even if I use a German version of labview English my MAX partially keep, I hope this isn't a problem.)

    I have tried to identify the PXI system and chassis, but failed to get a different result. The NIscope screws are ordered initialization and reset of all sessions, but only if I turn first PXI systems.

    So you think it would be possible to achieve the goal of implementation, or should I stick to the start-up of the pc after turning on the PXIs? I did some research and I know, the installation guides to specify the order to turn on the devices, but I thought that it was only intended for installation/first round.

    I would be really grateful for any advice in the present.

    Hi Max,.

    There is no way around first PXI. Always start the PXI a d, then the PC system.
