My login password for Windows does not work all of a sudden

I can not connect to my computer. I logged this morning using the same password and a few hours later, I can't. Shift caps lock is not on and I have not forgotten the password. I tried to load it with safe mode and log in to the administrator account, but it is not a. I need help. I don't want to do a complete wipeout.

I need help. I don't want to do a complete wipeout.

Here you go:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Set up Windows to a point still, things worked.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • File server for Windows does not work after security update

    I just upgraded the security update that was released last week and all of a sudden the computers windows cannot access the server. I'm under 10.11.6 and everything was great until we started windows computers today. They can ping and access the internet, but they cannot access SMB on the server.

    Macs have no connection problems in the SMB and AFP.

    Any ideas, what has changed? Users of server are all still there and it seems like it should work. I can access the web page of servers too.

    Make sure you are including the domain in the user name when signing in. for example USER: groupe_travail

    Also, check that your windows machine has the correct set of LM compatibility level. For El Cap servers must be set to 3.

    Follow the instructions below to change the Windows security settings to allow Windows SMB connections.

    1. Click on the Start button and in the bottom search bar, type regedit . Select search results regedit and the registry opens.
    2. Using the folders on the left side of the screen, navigate through the tree to the following location: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. In the right window, find the following DWORD value: LmCompatibilityLevel . If it exists, double-click it and set the value to 3 (in decimal).  If it does not exist, right-click in an empty space in the right part of the window and create a new DWORD value called LmCompatibilityLevel and set its value to 3 (in decimal).
    4. Restart the computer.
    5. Re-try to connect to the server via the workstation.

    NOTE: The versions Home of windows may not the ability to set the LM, and unfortunately I have not found a way around that.

  • Windows does not work all installs does not open IE

    Suddenly Windows eight iE does not open site default Web or no desire any other work of the tab while that which hangs IE works only in mode of protection of personal information.  When I try to download Google Chrome or FireFox, in that none of them install regardless if I try to run it from the web page or save a standalone setup file eregardless to know if I run it as an administrator or not.  In addition, Norton will not download an installation of Norton Internet Security available in my subscription but insists on watching expired evaluation edition.

    Each installation attempt results window saying that Windows SmartScreen is not available right now.  Race in any case does nothing and close the window of IE.

    Finally, download Windows updates but will not be installed.  This is the case for a few weeks.

    Thank you!

    Have you tried a system restore to a date before these problems started and see if it helps?

    In addition, to start the computer in Mode safe mode with networking and then see if you can run scanning using the Power Eraser tool?

  • my Windows Media Player does not work all of a sudden... any ideas?

    When I click on the Windows Media Player icon, nothing happens. When I put a CD to play, nothing happens. I just used it to play music over the two days... what would happen to fail?

    Hi bunkysmom1,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. you receive an error message?

    Method 1

    This problem occurs because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) output Windows Media Player.

    (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

    (c), select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    (d) restart Windows Media Player.

    Note  Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Method 2

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) output Windows Media Player.

    (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

    (c) select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    (d) restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • Aspire V3-472PG touch screen does not work all of a sudden

    Hello

    I bought my acer aspire 472PG-V3-761R (with touch screen) a few months before. Recently, I noticed that the touchscreen wasn't all of a sudden. I have already read and tried some troubleshooting tips from the forums and on the internet, but still does not.

    I saw in the forum acer on how to disable the touch screen to see that if it has been disabled, while they inspected the Device Manager - Human Interface devices, there is no touch screen driver compatible HID?

    I've also updated my windows windows 8 to 10 about two weeks after I bought the laptop and the touch screen worked well after the update until this week.

    Please help me to solve the problem and solve it. Was it the update of windows 10? I have a warranty from the store where I bought it, but I still have to inform and bring it to the store.

    Thank you

    There seems to be a driver problem Windows 10, but I've seen a few that have the problem in point 8.1.

    If you have not done so, update the bios here. http://www.Acer.com/AC/en/us/content/drivers

  • DVD Player/Recorder does not work all of a sudden.

    DVD a few weeks previously, worked the last time I played a DVD. Now can not access all. Device Mgr gives this comment, "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19). "I tried driver update, but it says I have the latest version of the driver. Guess that something happened with the registry. Someone tell a novice how to fix?

    Hi Numbrod,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    Leave your post, it seems that you have found an error Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

    This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure at the opening of the service registry entry, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service registry entry.

    Let's try the steps in this link and check if it works:

    To do: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • AirPrint does not work all of a sudden

    Yesterday morning my HP110a stopped working with airprint. iPad and iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3, having worked well before, suddenly can't find the printer on the network. Using Safari, I can access the Web page of the printer of the iPad and the iPhone, my MacBook Pro detects the printer with Hello, ePrinting works fine - but AirPrint stubbornly refuses to work.

    I have been through every troubleshooting - active network, checked all the software / firmware is up to date, same update iOS 4.3.1 without result.

    To print from the iPad is urgent - what can I do?

    To solve this tonite! Changing the protocols of Internet printing setting off on, suddenly the printer can be found via AirPrint. Interesting! Why not make HP it clear that PPI must be on for AirPrint working. I lost several hours trying to resolve this issue.
