my daughter forgot the password on this laptop, and now nothing can be upgraded. How do I change and reset the password
computer is without hope, without updates
If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.
In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.
If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

My grandson was playing with the keyboard and all my icons and web pages are now huge. I had this happen before, but I can't remember how to reset it. Any help? I went through properties and all that it is fine. It has something to do with the keyboard and an F key and control or ALT.
Hi Sashaxwp,
To get small icons in your Start menu
Ensure that the selected option of Start Menu as ist and click Customize to the right of the Start Menu option.
This will display the Customize Start Menu dialog box.
Use the Option Select an icon of Sice to Programms and now select small iconsTo configure your display appearance, wants to get small icons on your desktop
Right click on an open area of the desktop and select Properties.
Click the appearance tab.
Click on 'effects' (in my Version of XP in German), perhaps you will need to click on Advanced.In my XP there is a "huge symbols" choice, if you have this choice, remove the hook.
Good luck and have a nice day!
Kind regards

As long as you have the product key for Windows, you can install via USB or the software disk. Just follow the instructions on the screen. You can check this site to see if your product is compatible with Windows 10: upgrade to Windows 10
If you are not sure about Windows 10, then I recommend installation 8.1 Windows and recovery media creation. You can use this document to help you, if necessary: HP PC - create a recovery Image on disk or save a recovery Image on a Flash drive (Windows 8)
In this way, you can upgrade to Windows 10 If you choose, and if you are not happy with it, you can return to Windows 8. 1. once the operating system is ready to go, you can get the drivers you need for your product at the following site: drivers - HP for laptop - 15-af008ax

Please tell me if the laptop HP Elitebook 8440p can be upgraded to 64-bit
I currently have a portable 32-bit HP Elitebook 8440p, running Windows 7. I was wondering if I could upgrade to 64 - bit, so I can actually use more RAM than only 2.98 GB. Please say that I can, I would be so happy. I'm not 100% sure if this is the phone I have, but I think it might be, not sure. http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c02030597&prodSeriesId=409587...
Is my product number: SK119UC #ABA if this is of no use.Hello:
You can run a 64 bit in any laptop Elitebook 8440p with material to any configuration OS comes with.
If you live in the United States, call HP at this number - 1-800-334-5144 and ask the W7 64 bit recovery discs and it won't cost you $10 if your cell phone is no longer in warranty.
You will need to have the serial number at hand.

So I bought a laptop computer in a store with windows 7, but I want to recover my last windows 8 that I bought for my laptop earlier which has now been stolen. Is it possible to do also, I would like to disable windows from my other laptop stolen one. How can I be able to do? I have received and all billing.
A healthy suggestion will be appreciated.Kind regards.Hi Daniel,.
Sorry for the delay in response.
When you have only a single license for the copy of Windows 8 and you tried to reinstall the same copy on a new or different computer and activate it on the new computer, you'll start to get the guests of activation on the old computer to activate windows.
You must activate the copy on the old computer with a new license key or install another version of Windows.
Since you have already activated the copy on a new computer, it will automatically get turned off in the computer else or stolen and Windows 8 on the old computer will start to give the activation of Windows invites you to get the active copy.
Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

See the title.
I'm totally agree dj. but, although some are not aware, that many others simply enjoy additional work. I use smart after treatment in LR objects, so that after making changes in Photoshop, if I discovered that he had to go back to LR do some additional settings, rather than changing the programs, I can do the extra work in PS Camera Raw.
