Laptop does not accept the password after Windows update

Last Thursday my computer set up regular updates as usual.  When I restarted the computer, it cannot accept my password to complete the start-up operation.  I checked that I had the correct password and caps was off.  Now cannot access the laptop at all.  It is configured with Windows Vista, is a computer dell laptop and I bought it at the beginning of 2009. It seems that I never put a password reset disk and I don't have the original installation disc of vista with me - it all happened to be loaded.  Tips to get again access my laptop?

  • Vista does not accept the password (password not changed or forgotten)

    Vista does not accept the password (we have not forgotten password of windows startup) how can we get around this problem .the password has not been changed or forgotten Vista has a little programming problem which stops the right password

    It is most often caused by the computer being infected, so after you go back into the system, it would be wise to make an analysis.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    You can change your password to something you remember (or use a white) another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • ColdFusion Launcher does not accept the password when you try to change the web server

    I know this will sound stupid as wrong password is a password wrong, right? Well I swear I know my passwords and it's not having it.

    I am running coldfusion 9 and I want to change the default internal server that I put it to the top with the installation on apache server that ships with mac OS x. So I started the coldfusion launcher and clicked the button Web server connection utility to set up, he asks a password to continue, but usually accept it... I tried both of the passwords that I use for stuff course where I was confused which it requested one, but is not having either.

    I tried to change the password for the coldfusion administrator and still no joy. I know that sounds stupid, but I do not understand... How can I get if she does not accept my admin password... I have tried uninstall and try again once like stuff as it is a nightmare to get rid of my experience... always leaves a file somewhere that you can never seem to isolate who mucks upward following installation so I left it for the moment. Anyone got any ideas?

    OK, you cannot double-click the wsconfig file, cause, then you are not running it as sudo, so you will not be allowed.  'sudo' is 'Super user' and allows you to run a program, temporarily, as a super user.  If you do that you won't have permission to edit the httpd config file.

    Try the following.

    Launch the Terminal

    type: cd/Applications/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib (change the correct path if it is not the path to your ColdFusion)

    Press enter

    type: sudo java-jar wsconfig.jar

    Press enter

    It should ask you for your password. Enter it and press ENTER again.

    It should launch the configuration tool, this time with the appropriate permissions to modify the file httd.conf.

    Good luck
