Try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

In addition, this forum has a policy that requires us to refuse assistance with password "cracking".
That said, the last resort of reinstalling the operating system is something I would recommend to your situation. Who knows what kind of environment you might encounter if you can open a session? Software of Dodgy or pirated, malware, viruses etc. In addition, your hard drive may be full of useless data, including the possibility of illegal images. Must I say more? I see you say that you have no boot disk (I take it's Windows installation CD), but a repair shop may be able to do the replacement for you. Get a recommendation for a repair shop if you can.
It is also possible that he has built in installation of recovery/re-uninstall. To learn more about this opportunity, we will need the brand and model of your PC.

Cannot log on to windows Xp professional
My kid put a password on my computer and I forgot what it is. We tried for months know that she used the computer. We are unable to access anything on the computer because she forgot the password. It's an old computer, but it has a lot of valuable information that I can't replace.
Don't be afraid, in the worst cases, that data will be accessible by inserting the disk in another PC. Certainly, if you cannot or feel not enough confidence to do it by yourself, you will need to provide a facility that can, ideally one that you can get a recommendation for.
In the meantime, the amount of advice that this forum can give is limited by our code of conduct...
If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of your normal connection.
To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

I have Windows 7 Professional installed on our desktop computer. I've never set up a user account password when I installed last month, while I wouldn't not to remember it when I log in to Windows. Last night, I rebooted the computer, but now Windows stops on the user account login screen and asks for a password. He has never done this before, and I've never set up a password, so I have no idea what to do? I can't get past this screen without a password. I have very important files, I already put on this computer, and I need to be able to access quickly. I don't have a password reset disk, as I've never set up a password first. Why is this happen, and how can I'm get past this so I can access my files on my computer? Please help in any way, you can, as soon as possible, please. Thank you!

Need help setting up network home (Windows 7 Professional)
I don't know why I have so much trouble with this. I think that I never properly put in place a network before. Usually, I just turn on my router with a password, and then the phone and other devices connect directly to the router. I just got a new computer with Windows 7 Professional and it is prompting me to create a home network - and have apparently created a new password for the 'network' that is different from the password for the router. I have a feeling that this will be easy, but I do not get set up correctly.
First question, in the instructions to configure the network at a time given, was asked if all "clients" had a "wifi protected setup" button
What is a 'client' on the network? My router Linksys has one of these buttons (I pushed him, but he could not get connect/setting up with Windows 7). Is a router from a client? If so, a client what? (I do not understand the use of the term client.)
Here's what I would do. I have internet entering a cable modem. Ethernet to the modem router Linksys WRT54G. (I don't remember the exact model. It has a button "wifi protection setup. Ethernet to the router to the desktop. The router's Ethernet compatible HP printer wifi (which is currently on its own network). The Windows account has two users (mine, of my wife). The goal is to have a single network, with the office and the connected printer, and who I can connect with my iPhone. And I want to be able to print wireless from my iPhone to the printer.
Here's what I did. There is a lot of information, but if all goes well it will prevent additional questions.
I have reset the router and went to the 192.168.1.1. page. In the Administration tab, I created a new password - which I thought was the password for the network. I was not the case. In the wifi tab, I looked for a place to put a password, but could not find one.
I went on the computer, the network options in Control Panel to add a new network. I was able to get a new network with the computer (LAN) connected to the router, but I couldn't get wifi to set up. He told me to press the setting button of protection wifi on the router, but after a long delay, he said that he could not establish a connection. Finally, I got a message (I don't know how) if I wanted to connect older devices to the network, I need to put a code - 12 letters/numbers with dashes. I don't know what types of devices called it. So, I found in managing network a "network key" tab It was the same code - and it also seemed to work as wifi password. But I can't change it to something that is possible to remember.
And I can't do the printer on the same network as the computer.
I guess I'm going something wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction?
It seems that if the printer is in 'ad hoc wireless' mode - it is just sitting there with his wi - fi enabled: indeed, 'here I am; connect to me if you want to print. »
You need to connect the printer to the network wireless router. It's pretty easy, but if you want a specific rather than general instructions, please provide the exact model of your HP printer.
Generically, see--> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/wireless-printing-center/printer-setup-help.html , you will probably end by using the option of 3rd or 4th. In step 4 of the "HP Wireless Assistant', 'the WEP key or a WPA password' is the 'wifi password on the router" - which really, you must configure except if the House really is miles from any other civilization.
"Referring to the first paragraph above, what I called the mode"ad hoc"seems to be what HP calls impression of"peer-to-peer"." More specifically, in the FAQ at this link, your printer seems to currently be configured as described in "how to print wireless without a wireless router?
Although he adds a little more complexity, I highly recommend that - after that you get things market - you read the FAQ section of HP on "a static IP will keep my computer against the loss of communication with my printer wireless." In an environment with multiple wi - fi devices (for example, several iPhones), if the printer is turned off for a while, when you turn it back on it you will find that your computer will display is no longer her. Print jobs will appear to work, but nothing will print. If this situation arises, the solution is this FAQ section.
