• I locked myself out of my computer.

  I forgot my password and can't get into my computer. I am now using the guest account. Help, please! What can I do?

  Hi Janie,

  1. How user account you use on the computer?

  If you use a local account, you can use your password as a reminder hint. Check if shift caps lock is enabled. I suggest to use on-screen keyboard and try logging on your local account and check if it helps. Follow these steps.

  1. On the login screen, click on ease of access button on the lower left corner of the screen.

  2. Click on on-screen keyboard (OSK).

  3. Try to enter the password using OSK and check.

• I locked myself out of my computer! I forgot my password help pls!

  I had to put a password on my computer because my son kept while I SLEEP...  Now, I've disconnected and don't remember my password...  I don't have a recovery disk and I don't know what to do... Help, please.

  Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator .  You will need to know the password, if any, for this account.  Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account.

  Then, restart the computer and you connect to your regular account with the new password.  If the computer has a floppy drive, you can make a password reset disk

  Hello
  I suggest you to see these steps:

  • Press right on your mouse button when your desktop is visible. A menu will appear.
  • Move your mouse to the bottom of the menu and click on the word "Properties".
  • Look at the tabs under the marked blue title bar "display properties". You should be able to see one marked "screen saver". Click the screen saver tab once. You should now see a small monitor.
  • Look for the dropdown next to the marked buttons 'Settings' and 'Preview '. Click on the arrow down on the right side of the menu drop down.
  • Look at the list of available screensavers. The first menu is marked '(none) '. Click on this title. Once you have clicked on the title, the "Apply" button will become operational.
  • Click on the button apply. Close the display properties window and the Control Panel window. You have now properly disabled your screen saver.
   

• computer locked me out of everything

  When I turned on, computer screen said something like COMPUTER LOCK YOU OUT. The unit is on but the screen is dark.

  Thanks for the info on the function keys. Regarding the original issue, it was solved: by pressing the power button for 10 seconds, the computer rebooted and everything's fine. I learned something new today. Thank you for your help.

  Thanks for the comments. Your original statement "when I lit" actually mislead me. You do not light - you woke from sleep mode.

  I recommend that you only use this event as an incentive to find out how to start the computer in Mode safe mode with F8. Sooner or later you will need this knowledge.

• Lock shift out of synchronization with the 2008 Server RDP session

  Hello

  A few of our users have problems with their caps lock being out of sync with their RDP session, that is to say if their keyboard displays light as being off, they type and get capital letters when they press the SHIFT key on their keyboard to stop the caps lock lights up and they then type in lowercase.  I can't find any resolution on the web about what is happening in a 2008 R2 server environment.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance.

• In Windows Media Player when I try to listen to a CD that I pulled it out of my computer, a new tab opens in Firefox "license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.

  I use Windows Media Player 11 and I have Internet Explorer 8 is installed on XP Pro and when I try to listen to a CD that I pulled it out of my computer, a new tab opens in Firefox (my default browser), with the following message:

  The license can not be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.
  To download a license, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later.
  To install the latest version of Internet Explorer, see the Windows Update page.

  What do I need any type of license to, to listen to music, I ripped a CD I bought, and furthermore that the browser has to do with what ever automated procedure Microsoft Media Player must perform?

  Suspecting that not having IE selected as the default browser might be interfering, I did so (something I'm not impressed about) and instead, was taken through to a Windows Media Technologies page http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/pdrm/en/welcome.asp?challenge=AAEAAZB*vUQ029QDmL5QfLzVnjGCf9din34fu*twoJQKPK0Agme7r3JqmhpZNJIHdVJ3JF20CQEtGSO6im53G7MUAjceYDRQUZXp2ghI5bYyB7kJjpvQoHFJNtNRWAvEXvv!fk7GbENwhn1K0gzMvWstLFBf3Esp9laOTsOCLqO7FqCfeYinJkeEGUevauivoM3NLAJOP4exrtgQX4zeRcujxi7W7AmLGDNRhh2qEgP1WmXh2PkzNZXwSn3QznsTK8!up58P10sX&DRMVer=1.4&embedded=false that provided some information about Licensing and Migrations and offered the opportunity to Download a License.  However, after selecting this button has encountered an error: 438 unknown error occurred when you store your license.

  Where are the stored licenses and why this is happening with all the music I have on my computer?

  I would appreciate an overview of this and especially a viable solution.  Thanks for your time.

  Thank you.  I found my answer and solution to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-xp/help/windows-media-player/11/album-info.  Thanks for your time.

  Hello, I can't install the creative cloud because I asked the administrator password and nobody here knows that the machine that we use a lot. Find out how to reset the password to let me install the program... Thank you!

  This isn't something to ask an Adobe forum... it is your operating system that requires permissions to install the software

  You need to find someone who has the administrator password to give to you, or install the software for you
