Laptop locked out

My son is locked out of her laptop. He forgot the password and the hint. Is there a way to bypass or reset to the factory settings.

I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that without assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords

you need to reinstall vista:

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

  • My laptop HP pavilion g6 locked out

    My HP pavilion laptop G6 locked out

    Hello

    You don't mention which operating system you use, but if you normally sign - on with an email and password (Windows 8, 8.1 & 10), see if you can reset the password via another PC from the Microsoft page on the following link.

    https://account.live.com/password/reset

    Otherwise, there is a general policy on the Forum do not provide methods to bypass the Windows log-on passwords, but a local computer store would be able to do it for you.

    Another option, if all your personal data, etc. is saved, would be to reset the laptop to his "factory Condition" and then set it upwards from the beginning - if you do not have your recovery media, your laptop are shipped with a recovery Partition which is accessible at the start - that is to say stop the laptop, then start typing away at f11 as soon as you turn on.

    A comprehensive guide on this can be found on the following link.

  • Establishment of an iPad after having been locked out but did not recall what is my Apple ID or password.

    Basically, I'm trying to help my sister in law with his iPad. She had initially forgotten its password to enter his iPad and if she got locked out. I googled how to reset and so I have connected the iPad to a laptop and went through iTunes (without signature). Now that the iPad has been swept clean it is now the scene of reactivating...

    I typed in the country, wifi etc and now he asks the Apple ID and password that was used to set up the iPad initially that she can't remember. She does not know what email address she used and she forgot her password. I searched for centuries now what can someone help!

    Is still connected to the account anywhere so that she can get him? Or she has none of the downloads of the account in the computer's iTunes library so that it can do "get info" on them and see the id? If not already tried it: If you have forgotten your Apple - Apple Support ID ?

    If she can still find, and she was the original purchaser of the iPad (i.e. he not was purchased used), she might try to go to an Apple Store (it should take an appointment-Genius Bar if she does) or try to contact iTunes Support Online (https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html) and see if they can remove the iPad on the account - they are likely to want to see proof of ownership before they could help for example an original receipt with the serial number above

  • TrueSuite Fingerprint Software me lock out of my files!

    Help!

    I use the TrueSuite Access Manager very happy five months for some of my files important protect from prying eyes. Suddenly, today, when I try to "unprotect" them, I get a message saying "Invalid"File Protection Key"". The fingerprint reader works fine and TrueSuite Access Manager accepts my footprint quite happy.

    I am using Windows XP Pro. The only things that have happened since I last accessed files successfully was a download Microsoft Tuesday last week and my Norton Internet Security 2008 installation.

    I really hope you guys can help ' cos I need to access these files.

    Steve

    PS, I tried to restore to a previous system restore point, but they all fail...

    Well, here is where I have to this day...

    The TrueSuite Access Manager is provided by AuthenTec, but is actually just a rebadged version of the Password of ABIG software. The site Web of TrueSuite disappeared off the internet (although you can find one or two references to the fact that there were once). AuthenTec or ABIG offer any support whatsoever. So the only source of help is Toshiba...

    I traced the beginning of my woes to an application error logged in the log of the events of Win XP - fingerprint software didn't. The description of the error says only: "prints notifier Application digital Suite has encountered a problem and needs to close." Large. The application error has somehow broken the link between fingerprints recorded and the key used to 'protect' all my files. Even having a back-up fingerprints was useless, because that was the link between the fingerprint identification system and the file system of Windows that was broken, not fingerprint information...

    I rang the Toshiba help line, who recommended to download and install the latest drivers. What I've done. It made no difference.

    I managed to roll back to Windows to a date earlier than the application error (the problem I had before which prevented me to restore the system to an earlier date was caused by Norton internet Security, a "known" feature). But even once it made no difference.

    So where am I today? TrueSuite has lost the connection between my fingerprints and the key that he used with the file system Windows to protect my files, I was in turn locked out of all files. I can't access, copy, move them or delete them, BACK or Win XP. Toshiba recommendation is to use the provided with the laptop recovery disks and to reinstall Windows XP from scratch. Of course this will not return me my information, but at least it will remove all unnecessary files and free up the space occupied by them!

    Lessons to be learned - if you use TrueSuite to protect your files, think twice. If you want to continue to do so, back up all your files before protecting them. Of course, the backup version of the file will not be protected fingerprint (bat rather the object of the exercise, is not...)

    Good luck.

  • HP Mini: locked out of my hp mini

    I am somehow locked out of my HP Mini. It asks for a password and I never had a password. This model REPLACEMENT-I57C

    PLEASE HELP THANKS

    Hello

    You can remove the need for a power on password as follows:-use the code from my previous post if necessary.

    Shut down the laptop.  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the start menu, then select f10 to open the Bios menu.  Use the arrows to select the Security tab and press ENTER.  Use the arrow keys again to highlight the power on password and press ENTER.  Enter the current password (use the code in my previous post), and then the new password, simply leave this blank and press on enter - do the same for the confirmation field.  Press f10, select this option to save the new settings and press to enter.

    Kind regards

    Hello, I have an Asus with Windows 8, and last night my friend locked me out of my laptop by pressing on enter far too often. Now I can not connect on my laptop. Whenever I get my password it says "your PC is offline.". Please sign in with the last password used on this PC"and I really need to get inside because I have a great duty that I have to finish and return. I really need help.

    Hello Tiana,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    Of course, I understand the feeling of being locked out of computer especially when you have something important lined up.

    In this scenario, you perform Refresh if you have Windows 8 DVD with you.

    How to refresh, reset or restore your PC

    Warning: Apps that you have installed Web sites and DVD will be removed. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    In case you don't have a disc, you can contact Asus that can help reset the computer to factory settings.

    Contact us - Asus

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Thank you.

  • Serial number lock-out after the signing of other computers

    Okay, it's a bit complicated, but the short version is this: I had additional computers that I had apparently installed Lightroom 6, which was bought as a single, not creative method Cloud rental purchase. I think that he has been left on an old Mac Pro and an old MacBook Pro, in addition to having it on a newer Macbook Pro and a new Mac Pro. I launched it, closed on the old laptop and had to install, turn on the old Mac Pro and then disconnect. As far as I know, these are the only other, so it should just be running on my new Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. However, he always tells me that there is too much in use serial numbers and unfortunately I was not paying attention to this fairly quickly and now it has locked me out of Lightroom on my Macbook Pro and I can't even in Lightroom to sign out of it.

    I doubt that remove programs and reinstall will help, but maybe someone from Adobe can wipe my installation folder. I do not at all creative cloud, and I do not want to or have no need access to adobe for what I do of the clouds. I just need the programs to work on 2 of my computers...

    Any suggestions?

    The longest in history.

    Yes, I am a collector of the computer. I have an old Mac Pro that I had put on the shelf for awhile and decided to move it to the floor, so I've updated the software system and he got to the height, but I do not remember if I reinstalled it on this computer. I have a new Mac Pro cylinder in the basement, and who had lightroom on it, I think that I upgraded to Lightroom 6. I also had 6 Lightroom on my work MacBook Pro, which was a 2008 model. My daughter thought his MacBook pro 2011 was broken, so she bought a new. I took his old (because it was faster than what I used), a new HDD inserted into it to rejuvenate it and kept as my laptop new principal after I swapped the drives between my old 2008 (who had a hard drive faster, more recent than the 2011) and 2011. I certainly do not disable Lightroom when I did the hard drive swap (who can remember - sorry, I am also more than 50 years).  As I said above, I installed and disabled Lightroom on the old Mac Pro and my old MacBook Pro, but it is still saying "too many serial numbers" and I'm locked out of lightroom completely on my MacBook Pro. He is currently working on two computers: MacBook Pro 2011 and 2013 Pro Mac. I believe that the license allows you to have a desktop computer and a laptop, don't?
