Just changed my Windows 7 password, and now I can't get back into my account admin help, please.

I did not create a recovery, because the password was easy, now, it does not work.

If Shawn method does not resolve your problem, you can use this method:

  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 before you 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. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • I clicked on work offline in Windows Live Mail. Now, I can't get back online

    I clicked on work offline in Windows Live Mail. Now I can't get back online, regardless of how many times I click go online. When I first open Windows Live Mail he asks me if I want to go online. I say yes, and then he asked a second time if I want to go online. Yet once again, I say Yes. I can't always online.

    Lorne Friesen

    Open Internet Explorer, and then press Alt + F to open the file menu. If work offline is selected, deselect it. If it is not selected, select it, wait a few moments and then deselect. Now check if Windows Live Mail is still offline. If this is the case, repeat the cycle to select/deselect in IE until WLMail Gets the message.

  • Changed my sign in password and now I can't log on

    I have my computer password protected. I have Windows 7 Professional.

    I just changed the password and even wrote the password.

    I restarted the computer and tried to connect, but, I wrote the low password wrong or made a typo mistake so now I can't sign my computer.

    I don't have a backup password.

    Is there a way I can sign on my computer?

    Here you go:

    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 CD.
    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 before you 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. This will save you a lot of trouble. Using a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

    On some machines, you can start safe mode and log on as administrator with a blank password. This could allow to reset you the unknown password.

    If you do not burn a CD to repair until then you'll have to ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore.

  • Somehow my search engine has been changed to yahoo from google, and now I can't get google search to stay as search engine, how can I solve this?

    I don't know how it happened, but can not get google search to stay as my search engine. I use the version the most recent Firefox is here. I deleted all the other search engines, but it always goes back to yahoo. Not like yahoo, I want my back lol, google. Please tell me how to solve this problem, thank you.

    Unwanted modules can take control of your settings in Firefox (search engine, home page, the new tab page) and make it impossible for you to fight them. Here's my method of tracking down and cleaning of the bad modules, the air pirates and injectors ad. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

    (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
    • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
      firefox.exe "about:addons"

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

    (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

  • I installed Win 7, sis discovered downloaded illegally, ran XP and now how do I get rid of Win 7? Help, please! VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

    Okay, so I came one day at home to find Win 7 Ult on my computer. It turns out that my sister downloaded illegally, which I had no idea until it crashed my computer. He stopped working out of a reboot, I therefore had no choice but to run my backup version of Windows XP Professional. I wanted to keep the files of windows 7, I had some important docs ther, so I installed Windows XP under the C:\WINDOWS.old file and it works from there, and win 7 is in the C:\Windows folder. I have only one disk-37, 2 Go C, so I need all the space I can get. I don't know much about computers, but how do I get rid of Win 7 files which absorb almost 10 GB on my hard drive with Win XP works well? Win XP is activated and genuine. I heard someone say "Format the C drive", but then I read about it online and found that it could make my computer unusable! I don't know how to fix it! Please help me, it's very important that I have solve this problem quickly, I am sinking money in flash drives and CDs. help, please and thank you!

    In addition, my system is a Dell GX280 series, pentium 4 with 512 MB of RAM, or 502 a 37.2 GB C drive. It has been renovated and came pre-installed with Windows XP.

    The BIOS and Windows are not the same, you cannot make permanent changes to the BIOS settings only.

    When you format your hard drive it will wipe all information off of it (it's your personal files, Windows, everything, etc.), but your computer still won't turn.  Your can configure which devices to start the system turn off the first, so when we need to start installing Windows from a CD, you need to configure the BIOS first boot device to be the CD-ROM drive (follow thesteps to clean install xp).  You must ensure that your CD of Windows XP is in the CDROM drive ready to begin the clean install, and there should be a point when your system say "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM...".

    You can also follow the procedure here a clean installation of Windows XP: http://www.theeldergeek.com/clean_installation_of_windows_xp.htm

    If you are not prompted to use the new password to your Wi - Fi network when trying to connect, you may have to remove the network on your system. This can be done by the following steps.

    1. Open system preferences in the Apple menu
    2. Choose the network
    3. Select a Wi - Fi connection on the left
    4. Click Advanced... in the bottom right
    5. Choose your network from the list of preferred networks
    6. Click on the '-' at the bottom of the list
    7. Click OK
    8. Click on apply

    Once removed try to connect to your Wi - Fi network normally and you will be prompted for the password.

    Sincerely
