  • All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile.

    All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile. Any ideas, anyone?

    So it's not a logins.json file?

    I see a signons3.txt file and a file signons.sqlite older, if you can try to see if you can import passwords stored in this file.

    You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the file logins.json with the following steps:

    • reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
    • Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder

    When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true.
    You have passwords that are imported in the password manager, unless there were errors or signons.sqlite signons3.txt.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

  • I lost a password for the e-mail account. How to retrieve it?

    Like what is said. I lost the password to one of my email accounts. I don't know that it is stored somewhere in the T-bird. All I need to know is how to get to the top.

  • Lost my password synchronization

    I use Firefox for android and every now and then I clear Firefox completely app data because it starts to become slow for some reason any (even without addons). I just did this again an hour or two after a few months of no problems there. Since it's been a while, the password I thought I used for the synchronization did not work and this is the case with the e-mail provider that I use, so why I can't retrieve my password from there. I contacted them to see if I can recover my word of past, but incase that doesn't work, I'm asking here. I have a vague idea of what should be the password, if this is useful. The account associated with the synchro is [email protected]. Thank you.

    Hello, the encryption key derived from your password is the only way to access and decrypt your data sync (there is no other way, even for mozilla).
    If you have lost your password it will be not possible to recover these data, even on a password reset (which will wipe existing data on servers in sync).

  • Lost administrative password recovery options

    About once a day, I see the same post

    "I lost my administrative password for my computer"

    "I don't remember my password"

    "I need to change the password and I don't remember"

    Without failure, we put the passwords and forget about them and it is not always a simple process to remedy this solution. However, it is a simple process and can easily be avoided. If you read this thread and you have not lost your password to take measures now to protect yourself in case this happens. It will save you time and effort. Always remember, act now to save time tomorrow.

    Retrieve the password using a password reset disk

    This should be your preferred method to reset your password as this is something that you can do and need to do when you settle your account with a password. The password recovery CD must be created before you lost the password to be effective. If you have not already created it and you read this thread to be upward and out with what to do if you are having this issue right now stop and go create this disc.

    Instructions available here

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-password-reset-disk

    Now, if you have the drive and you have lost your password it is very simple.

    1 start the computer and try to enter the password on the Windows login screen

    2. the password is incorrect message opens, and from there, you can select ok

    3. once the screen goes away, a new screen appears with an option to reset the password.

    4. follow the instructions on the screen and use the password reset disk to reset your password

    Change your password to a different user account

    If you have multiple user accounts, and at least one of these other accounts have administrator rights, then you can reset your password from the other account. The password of this account may be necessary, then you can check with the owner of the account.

    1. connect to the other account has administrator rights

    2. click the start ORB, then select the Control Panel

    3. from here, select the accounts of users and parental control

    4. Select Manage another account

    5. click on the account with the forgotten password

    6. click on change password

    7. type a new password and press on enter to confirm

    8. click on change password

    9 disconnect you, then try to log on to the original account

    Return to a previous password

    If you have recently changed your password and now can't remember, you can use the application of Microsoft System Restore to return to a time before you changed the password. This would of course imply remind you which has been the case the previous password.

    To go back and use your old password follow these steps:

    1. press on the F11 key repeatedly to open the HP System Recovery program on the system startup

    2. under, I need help immediately, click the Microsoft System Restore option

    3. follow the instructions to restore the computer to a previous state, choose a time before you changed the password.

    Use a third-party program to attempt to reset / recover password

    HP, like most other companies, do not support the use of third-party applications, but they do exist. If you cannot use one of the options mentioned previous then this is may be the option you want to try.

    Removal and recovery of password programs exist and can be found on the internet through various searches on google.

    One of these programs can be found here http://www.pcloginnow.com/ with instructions on how to use it here http://www.pcloginnow.com/guide.html

    Remember that HP mentioned earlier does not support the use of third-party software to retrieve lost passwords, and then you use this tool or any other tool at your own risk.

    Hope this helps you recover your lost password, or you read and warning and make a recovery for you disk protect.
