    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/940765

    If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  • My password is not recognized by my PC.

    My password is not recognized by my Pc.

    My password is not recognized by my Pc.

    I guess your question is "How I connect again?". If yes then here is a lot of options built into Windows for you help get out of this situation:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
    • Ask your friendly computer dealer to reset the password for you.

    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.

  • Creating password cloud not recognized

    The Creative Cloud Application Manager icon in the menu at the top of my Mac bar disappeared. The old Adobe CS Update icon still exists, so I clicked on that. Place comes a message saying I need to update my applications of Cloud Creative Manager, which starts by itself. Unfortunately it no longer recognizes my password. So, I go to the web page of creative cloud, try to connect and get the alert to change my password. Think it has something to do with the security breach, I create a new password and after confirmation by e-mail, I am able to connect. Large. So I try to update the application Cloud Creative Manager, but it still does not recognize my password. I tried several times, but no luck. What to do?

    Davidp158 password asked during the installation process is for an administrator account.  If you enter the same password that you use to connect to your computer, you should be able to proceed with the installation.

    Once installation is complete you will then be given the option to connect to your creative cloud membership.

    You can find more information about the installation and sign in the process to install and update the apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • Password not recognized for the new Gmail account

    My gmail account ID / password is not recognized by Thunderbird. It worked, but somehow it has suddenly stopped working (not able to receive or send emails and just make an hourglass whenever I select any folder in the account).

    Some other details:

    . I use Thunderbird 38 (could the upgrade caused the problem?).
    . I tried to remove and re-add the account. It connects fine, but does not recognize the username/password.
    . I did some Google 2-step of checking is turned off.
    . I deleted the Google Contacts.
    . I checked that access for less secure applications is disabled in Google (even though I believe that Thunderbird 38 should not require this).

    I followed all the steps I find Google search, including the https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmailsite. Nothing seems to help.

    I'm up a Creek. I like Thunderbird (use it for multiple e-mail accounts), but hair pulling try that it works - and it takes too long. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

  • Windows login password not recognized

    Original title: sign the password not recognized.  Similar problems are are produced.

    Already happened.  Tried to sing in password rejected.  It's the same thing and I him have not changed for a long time.

    Log on to another administrator user account and change your password to something that you will remember. Then search for malicious software because these things do not happen by themselves. Or think about who else has access to your computer and may have changed your password without your knowledge.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    If you have another administrative user (see Configuring user recommended at the end of this post) and then you have to activate the built-in Administrator, and then change the password of your user account. All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have a Windows 7 DVD installation (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Windows 7 installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair the system Windows 7 (not a system recovery!) in the menu diagnosis. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable DVD of Windows 7 repair of the file on this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2009/Windows-7-system-repair-discs/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. If you create the bootable DVD in an older operating system (XP, Vista), you will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data. Windows 7 can burn the .isos natively.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Windows 7:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges in Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • my password does not work on windows vista. I get the message user profile service has no logon

    My password does not work. I get the message user profile service has no logon. Help please.

    Hello

    You can try the following.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  If windows will load in this mode, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours prior to the issue of logon and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart as normal in order to check if you can now connect correctly.

    Another option if the above does not help is as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Start using last good known Configuration" and press ENTER.

  • Satellite Z30 - A - 12R BIOS password not recognized after update BIOS

    I updated the bios after that I warned the Bios of Toshiba v3.50. The process was done by the utility software of Toshiba and after restarting it has 'password =' on a blank screen and it does not recognize my BIOS password, write not 'certified '.

    I also tried the HARD drive password, but no luck.

    What can I do now?

    Hello

    Before you try to update the BIOS, all passwords must be removed!
    BIOS password can be removed by the authorized service provider available in your country.

    But the unknown HARD disk password can be removed more.
    In such a case the HDD isn't accessible and cannot be used.

    Mate sorry but in my opinion that you only have one chance to get the BIOS password removed. you need the help of ASP.
