  • Somehow my diary of the administrator password does not work, no disc reset

    Hello AdrianaMonti,

    I'm sorry but the Microsoft forum rules do not help users circumvent passwords of Windows OS or software systems.

    I do not understand why you have problems with re-setup because it has nothing to do with your original administrator password. Your copy of Windows came pre-installed on your PC or did you buy a boxed copy and install it yourself?

    If you are unable to re - install probably you get error messages. What these error messages?

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Administrator password is not allowing me to be a Director

    my computer was my son and he has deleted his account as an administrator, but now it's not let me to download a printer from a disk that I need to use right now

    There is an account administrator for all versions of windows xp and later versions.

    There are several ways to activate the account and use it to solve the problem, also give you admin access.
    the account should be disabled, unless you need it because it allows anyone full access to the computer.
    You can also try the 3rd party software such as Active @ Boot Disk or change your password. That's what I use, just boot the disk (boot floppy is on a CD) select hard drive, there you will find the built in admin account to activate. Restart Windows, type in the 'administrator' account when connecting to use.
  • 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!

  • I forgot the administrator password & can not reset in!

    • I changed the administrator password last week and now I forgot what it was. I can't access or change the password, or reinstall windows. It asks password each time. I do not have a password reset disk.
    • Another user is available

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    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 an installation of Vista DVD (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 Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. 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 Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    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 as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. 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.

    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 Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista 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 one account user with administrative privileges on Vista 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). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Administrator password does not not under Vista

    I have a new desktop computer with Vista and have worked on getting it set up. I've set up user accounts, but my password of the administrator account does not work. I tried all the options and checked the capslock and even tried a few misspellings, even if I don't have a problem the first 4 or 5 times I had used it. is there anyway to reset it without having to reinstall Windows since I don't have a password reset disk?

    You did not account for additional user with administrative privileges? If this isn't the case, you will need to use a program like NTpasswd empty password for your account, so you can connect.

    Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burning with burning software, third party (as an image, not in the form of data), starting 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.

    http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

    Once you're back in the system, here are my suggestions for how to configure user accounts in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista 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 it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    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. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.
