• Windows Vista, administrator password, does not

  I had the windows administrator password since I bought my laptop about a week, there is the password no longer works, (no one has changed the password). Finger printer reader, my impression, finger reads me the green check mark, and then displays the incorrect user name or password. Dell has no help nor Microsoft, called the two, both passes the question to the other. I have many family photos and some documents I want to turn off my computer, I can't get them because of the password, I bought a case that Dell said to do, it does not fit my hard drive. Can someone tell me how to bypass my password so that I can get at my photos or what I can do to at least get my photos in the admin account that is displayed in my full name. I tried to type in the command prompt, and nothing works, please any help, I would be so grateful... Dell and Microsoft told me, there's a way to get around, but they cannot help doing it on my own computer.

  Hello

  Donna I don't know how the fingerprint reader interacts with the opening of session if it is an assumption. This method
  works on systems without the reader of fingerprints and perhaps on your system when used in conjunction with
  your fingerprint reader. Hope it's useful.

  If this is not enough you are no worse off as you are now.

  Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
  then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
  Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
  wish.

  Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
  repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

  DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

• Problems with the Vista administrator password

  Hello

  I am currently not able to download microsft update or some other program using vista, because I wonder an administrator password. I never set a password for it, but I enable usage on control panel account. Y at - it a default password or any other way to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Hi Ry1981

  It seems that your user profile is damaged.

  1. we can attempt to activate the default Administrator profile and check.

  2. create a new user profile and check.

  3. If this new user works very well then screw your damaged user profile.

  Now connect to your new profile and check if you get the same error.  If this isn't the case, disable the default Administrator again. As it should be used only when nothing else works.

  And now to disable the default Administrator account again. Follow the steps in the Article and on this line at the command prompt, type net user administrator / active: No., then press on ENTER. (Yes No change)

  After back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem.

  Thank you and best regards,

• I lost my administrator password and you cannot connect to windows 7 - any help on each change or recover the password?

  How to recover the password lost for windows 7?

  How to recover the password lost for windows 7?

  While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.

  The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.

  It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.

  You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you.

  The only advice I can offer you is either log - on another user with administrator privileges and reset your password to a new, use the password reset disk that you created when you set up your account, start guessing what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.

• 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.

• Windows 8.0 lost administrator password

  I lost the administrator password for my lap top of Windows 8. I tried a number of ways to work around this problem. One of them involved starting in safe mode, but I was unable to get into safe mode (never seen that option). Everything I tried, install programs, and anything that modifies the system asked the administrator password. I was able to install updates for windows, but not able to upgrade to windows 8.1. In my view, the passwords are, but that's all, I discovered. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
