    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • Mail keeps dropping the password for my hotmail and I have to go to the server settings to enter

    Every time I start up my macbook pro mail fails to synchronize. It is said there is a problem with my apple ID, but must go to the preferences of mail and re - enter my e-mail password in the outgoing server details page.

    Mail cannot differentiate between many different problems that can cause "server not responding do not. He has NOT lost your password. Because it can do something if the password has been bad, it ask the password once again and interfere with the old password with what you have entered.

    If you know that your password is correct, I recommend dismiss you these requests and do not read anything. Open:

    Mail > window > connection doctor...

    to see what is happening, or ignored for a few minutes and it can repair itself.

  • Cannot access the password for administrator on Win7, how can we access this account?

    There are two accounts on this computer. An administrative and standard user.

    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    I can access the standard user account, but I can't change the administrative password because his account not administrative and I do not know the password on the admin account.

    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    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 on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • 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)
  • Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

    Hello!

    -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

    I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

    Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You must make a password reset disk before that there are problems with a password, not afterwards.

  • I lost the Office for an account I have when I tried to delete the password

    I have Windows XP Home Edition.  I had two user accounts, one owner and an administrator, but I've only used the owner, I had given a password.  I saw a tip on how to remove the password for the signature requirement and thus lost the entire account.  More important still, I lost everything I had on my desk, including records very important.  Is there a way to get the account and back office?

    Actually, I could connect is no longer on the account I "lost".   I therefore decided to rebuild what I lost by doing a search for all files that I had lost and change. This turns out be a mistake, because I was 'fixing' them.  In the middle of the night, I had the idea of just using the system restore, restore to the day before where I "lost" my account.  It worked.  I was back in business, but I lost some more recent information and feel the results of editing.  So I was patching up some losses.  But I guess I found my own answer. System Restore brought me back on the account that I had lost with all the files on my desktop safely returned.

  • Cannot change or remove the password for the account.

    Hi - I want to change my user account password, but this is impossible. I'm running Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 with all updates.

    My user account is the original, was created to windows install with administrator privileges.

    When I change my password, it accepts my old password and the new successfully, indicates that the password has been changed and indeed accepts the new password when you log back.

    But if I restart or turn off the PC, he returned to the old password, but still remember the new password hint. I tried to remove the password, and Vista indicates that the password is deleted, but after it is restarted the old password is back in force once again.

    It starts to drive me crazy, and I searched all over the internet, but could not find a similar problem elsewhere, not to mention a solution.

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi HoverDonkey

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.

    You have another user, you can sign up with?  If this isn't the case, create another user and log in as this user.

    Change the password for the new user, restart and the connection as long as the new user.  Were you able to login with the new password?
    If Yes, then there is a problem with 'your' user account, possible corruption.  Here is a link on how to fix a corrupted profile (user account) - Please post back and let us know if it helped to solve the problem - thank you

    It's in the privacy of having the username and password of someone, but it is advisable to monitor the activity of your child on the internet. In Windows Vista, you have the parental control feature in Control Panel (it's available in some editions). I suggest to go Control Panel and user account and chose to activate and follow your child's account. For Parental control in Windows Vista, take a look on:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/parental-controls.aspx

    There is also another product of Windows Live, which calls the family safety, to use the mother and the child would need live account. You could learn more about it in view:

    By these tools, you can monitor your child safety with respection of privacy. It is not a good practice to get the password of your children. Also, you should give it a safety advises on internet. I think it would be a good website to use resources for your daughter:
