Locked computer login screen

While on vacation my kids entered the password too often incorrectly.  Now the computer is locked. I tried to rest the password but have an audit of the 2 step.  Now I have to wait 30 days to receive an email from Microsoft reset.  I went to the advanced specialist cat and they said I have to wait for the rest of the 28 days to get help from them.  I want to just my unlocked computer screen so I can access my resumé.  The specialist of the tip referred me to this forum to see if I could get any help here!

Hello

This is what Microsoft says about the forgotten passwords.

"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.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

  • Pavilion g6-2320TX: computer laptop screen blank after login

    Hi all

    I have a HP pavilion 2320TX g6 and it runs on windows 8.1(64 bit) with no problems until recently.

    It was originally windows 8 and I've updated to WIN8.1 back.i 6 months have not experienced any problems.

    I don't know what happened but when I opened my laptop after the login screen, he gave me a black screen with the mouse cursor.

    I tried closing force to remove the battery and the connection but no use.

    The last time I opened (i.e. before I met this problem), I installed 2 applications KMPlayer and secure360.

    I uninstalled them both by the secure and tried boot option, but it didn't work.

    I can't even find the reason why this problem so please help me out by giving solutions for this.

  • How to disable the automatic locking of the screen of the computer with windows XP

    How to disable the automatic locking of the screen of the computer with windows XP? so many people responded on windows 7, but NOT a SINGLE spoke of XP.  I have this problem.  screen goes into sleep mode and I have to wake up even if NO PASSWORD is selected.  I changed the POWER SETTINGS. Nothing helps.  NEED HELP. Thank you

    Well since it is already assigned, and a mod has not moved this somehow already in the XP section:

  • I have xp pro I have activated telephone went through all the steps said active windows computing took me to the login screen, but when I try to log in, it tells me I have activated windows

    I have xp pro I have activated telephone went through all the steps said active windows computing took me to the login screen, but when I try to connect, it tells me that I need to activate windows so I click on activate the itr tells me that windows is already activated, then takes me in the newspaper and did the same thing

    To delete the message you are already enabled, you can force the activation on reboot. If the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak are damaged, they can cause a problem.
    Restart in 'Safe Mode '.
    Rename wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the the\Windows\system32 folder
    Now, the message must be deleted, and you can now re-enable. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

  • After that windows update computer now hangs at the login screen, no error message, just restarts.

    I have tried safe mode, does the same thing; tried to use the Windows Vista disc to do a repair, no luck; also I tried restoring the system (from disk), no restore points however.
    The problem appeared after restarting the computer during the night.  The problem began to be able to connect, but the screen would go blank with just a pointer (KSOD).  Has tried some of the suggestions on this problem, including by eliminating sys newspapers, which did not work as well as reinstalling the video driver, with no luck.  Finally tried a system restore, returned 1 week (before the windows updates).  Now, the computer becomes just the login screen sits there for about 5-10 seconds then restarts immediately.

    I just had this happen to my laptop that has no external references. This is a new (September 09) ASUS K50ij with Vista 64-bit installed. I bought the Win 7 OS to replace, but have been waiting for the time to play with it... Last Monday, the update itself and invited to restart so I have done what I was busy with and enabled him to restart which is the only thing to do now... restart, the blue screen for a nano-second, then restart... etc. Same problem with safe mode and safe mode with networking, or with the box... anyway, someone very smart recommended that I use another computer (Fortunately, I have several) to download free Imgburn (which works easily), then get Ubuntu (Linux Operating System free download) burn image from the Ubuntu disc, put the disc in the drive of the computer crashed (there is a little hole next to the button you) can insert in a safety pin to release the door when the power is off) change the setting in the BIOS of the computer has crashed by restarting and pressing F2 until you get the menu BIOS... go to the start menu and choose Start from the CD, and then press ENTER. When the computer starts, it will see the drive and go to a menu to select the language, then next choice is "try Ubuntu without making any changes to the computer. It will boot the disk and allow you to view and copy ALL your files off the power on an external drive, which is what I did... including my Outlook .pst files that include all my saved emails my calendar and contacts, etc! WOOHOO! has got all my photos, documents, etc. The only thing that I didn't know how to get is my favorite... How to enter in the browser from another computer.

    If after this, an hour or more than make sure I got all the important data... I decided to see if anyone had a solution to this problem just fixing... I probably won't update again because Microsoft sends them and offers no solutions to the problems they have caused and nobody pays me for all the time I've lost get to get my stuff back and also to solve the problem they have caused. A update on my other laptop Win 7 zapped my outlook program and even reinstall it didn't solve this problem, even more work to do there, but looking in the files using Ubuntu's File Explorer, I found a hidden file that is used to repair the files .pst outlook called scanpst, or something that nearby.

    In any case, if someone has a solution to uninstall the recent update or to determine how it corrupted my user profile (which is the general consensus) please let me know.
    Thank you and good luck to you!

    If your computer is bad, you need to do a system restore. Since it seems that you can not stop, try to hold the power button until it turns off. If this does not work, unplug (if laptop, remove the battery).

    From there on, allows to do a restore:

    1. turn the computer on and start to tap F8 to get the start menu
    2. Select repair your computer
    3. Select System Restore
    4. Follow the prompts

    If the restore point is older, feel free to use the Scan for affected programs feature to make sure that no other programs are affected. Otherwise, I would make a note of it, as it will have to reinstall these programs. In addition, I was running updated Windows once your system working again, since you will most likely use a restore point set up just before an update. (no point in re-opening of a security breach)

  • Windows Vista goes to sleep and then wakes up immediately at the login screen

    Original title: sleep function appears just right back to the login screen

    When I use the sleep function on Windows Vista (the switch icon to the left of the lock in the start menu), the system go to the start screen, but a few seconds later, the computer comes back, says "Recovery Windows" and then displays the password login screen.

    I scanned the computer many times for viruses (using McAfee), but found nothing.  Is there a way to tell the computer to sleep and have it actually do?

  • Double configuration monitor - only a monitor displays the login screen 2nd monitor is black

    Hello, I searched Hi and low and starts to believe that it is just not possible from messages of others.  But since the last time this question has been posted in 2011, I'm hoping that there was a resolution.

    How can I get my secondary monitor to show an image (any image would be great), while my computer is locked or simply putting in operation and reached the login screen.  Currently my secondary monitor shows just a black screen.  I do not want my screen to extend completely on two monitors (mosaic on nvidia video card) because when I do, my taskbar spans also the length of the two screens.  I like to use click once on my programs, rather than cluttering up my desktop with icons and you install vertically between the two monitors. I am unable to do otherwise.  Please let me know if anyone knows how to do this.  Thank you

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned and see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    Duplicate the display settings and check if you can view the screen saver in the monitor extended as well.

    To change your display settings

    1. open the screen resolution by clicking on the Start button, Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, click on adjust the screen resolution.

    2. click on the dropdown next to several screens, click on duplicate these appear, and then click OK.

    The option appears only when Windows detects multiple displays, more than one monitor connected to your PC.

    Note:

    o If you don't see an option named multiple displays in your display settings, then Windows isn't detecting a second monitor plugged into your desktop computer. Or else, it does not detect an external monitor plugged into your laptop. When Windows detects this monitor, it will appear in the drop-down list next to the screen. If you do not see that what listed there, try click on Detect.

    o ensure that the monitor you want to extend your desktop to is turned on and plugged into the video port appropriate to your computer. You may also need to select the correct source labeled on the controls of your monitor to ensure that the monitor is using the correct video port. For more information, consult the manual of your monitor or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

    For more information, see the following link:

    Move windows between multiple monitors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/move-Windows-between-multiple-monitors

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to check the display resolution value for both monitors. Make sure that the resolution of the screen is the same on each display.

    For more information, see: get the best display on your monitor

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/getting-the-best-display-on-your-monitor

    I hope this helps. Let us know the result.
