• Help! -Desktop HP Envy locked computer

  I'm working on the computer of a friend who is a photographer.

  She has a HP Envy.    Recently two problems happened at the same time.

  She did an automatic update that killed somehow out of his internet connection and its msn password got screwed up.

  On the screen, it has a red X through the internet connection icon.   It will say that it is connected but it is not connected.   I tried wireless and ethernet cable.

  Update the password for msn easily.    So now that we know what should be the password, however, because the computer cannot connect to the net, you don't find the changed password.    If we are always locked.

  I talked to the Helpdesk repeatedly.    They recommended that make a good backup, then just restore the computer to factory resets in the hope that it will address the problem of internet connectivity.

  The problem with this, is that it has almost 1000 GB of pictures only.   (not to mention documents, emails, etc.)

  So when I try to save it, I get an overflow error telling me the computer does not have enough space for the same number files.

  When I tried to save only photos, it lasted 5 hours and was still 2% for backup.

  The computer has a Bank of 3 hard disks, total 4 TB.    I also tried to use an adapter to read those directly on another computer via USB but I have yet to find an adapter that will read the readers.

  I'm getting desperate.    Can anyone suggest and adapter that works, or a path in the computer that will bypass the signon msn.      Anyone?

  How to lock my computer, so that can't see the content?

  How to lock my computer, so that can't see the content?

  Your question is a little vague.
  I'll try to anwer better than I can.

  1. If you don't want anyone to use your computer, all you need to do is set a password that will be required to enter before anyone can use the computer.
  BUT I don't think that's what you hear.

  2. If you want to say that you do not want other users to see the contents of your staff in the computer, here's what you need to do:

  Create a user account for each user.
  Each user will have a secret password which is login required for access to his account.
  This way, if the user disconnects, no one can see what are user account because they do not have to enter A user account, the user password was.

  If it is still not what you mean, please explain.

  Hi AGP123,

  This isn't really much of a cause for concern unless you see several times IE crashing. If you do, it's almost certainly a pluggable software component IE, just so disable all, then in reactivating one at a time. It is very likely to be a hardware problem. See this for more information.

  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.

• Model of HP G60-530US: locking computer!

  My Windows 7 laptop edited (without my permission) the password to logon during the night (without letting me know what was the new password) making me lose the ability to use the computer for something else.  What can I do to remedy this and return to the use of the computer. If there is anything I can do other than take it to a repair shop, I would still like to know. As a sidenote, that can be a part of the problem as a whole, I had tried to link to the top of my all of my 3 email on Outlook.com accounts the day before. They where bound by a tech frgetting themom my local server, cox.com. After obtaining their bound, the next day that I had not only the password changed, I also had the malware on my 2 surface, which has completely stopped my to my emails. Luckily my new laptop still works so I can get my emails and get my files to the Cloud. This malicious software could have done Sales acts. I ran Malwarebytes today and couldn't find any Malware or virus on the new computer. Any help you can give would be appreciated!

  For info Windows does not change password unless the user makes the change. Only solution if you can't fix it is to take it to a computer to diagnose the problem store.

• Dell laptop, invaded by the scam that has locked computer

  The first answer has not corrected the situation.   After I log in with my password, the desktop appears briefly and then I get a message from so-called Federal Bureau of Investigation asking $ to unlock the computer.   It does allow me to do something.  I stuck on F8 with no result.

  I would appreciate more assistance.   Thanking you in advance for your help.
