Need help. Unable to get the newspaper from the administrator to install new hardrive.

My brother-in-law brother set a password on the computer of my brother mother. Now, he can't remember the password. She is looking for a receovery disk so I can install a new hard drive. Any ideas to get around the password. Oh Yes. He is the only Director. What should I do? It's a HP Pavilion Slimline with Vista home edition. I have no password reset disk recovery disk, etc. I have a crick w/o a paddle.

I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that without assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords

___________________________________________________________

Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

Contact HP and ask them to send you in vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

____________________________________________________________

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

With a HP machine, press F11 at startup to start the recovery process to factory settings

__________________________________________________________

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • I desperately need help.  I get the message error message when visiitng my URL on mobile device!

    Hi all

    I desperately need help.

    When visiting my website on a mobile device this message, ('some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear the cache of the browser, and then try again. If the problem persists please contact author Web site. »)


    I talked to my hosting company and they say it's to do with the script and this must be changed. They gave me a link to a Web site with instructions. CodingForums.com as with most people using Muse the reason we use it is because there is no need to use the code. I don't really have no where to start with this.


    Y at - there anyone out there that can help me. My URL is entertainment - isle.com


    Thank you

    Who is your hosting provider?

    Clearly your webhost changes the files that are served. If you go to http://entertainment-isle.com/phone (or http://entertainment-isle.com/tablet) in a browser desktop all the files of the phone (or tablet site files) site are well served and the site works properly. However, if you go to the same URL using a mobile device files that are served are different. I suspect that your webhost think they do you a favor, and they have a code side server that modifies the files being served when they go to a mobile device, with result a site broken. Chances are it is something you, or they, can turn off to your site.

    If you provide the name of your hosting provider, we are able to collect information on their website how (and why) they want to change the files that are served and how to disable this "feature".

  • Unable to get the administrator account.

    I changed my password (without the backup disk) and now I can't access my account admin or make updates.  Is it possible that I can get the password set to day for I can put?

    Syed, is simply not true. Vista (and Windows 7) has means legitimate integrated for the OP to enter its system, which do not require a password for third-party software cracking and therefore who works against the rules of the forum, Ms.

    "Connieongeek" - 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).

  • Help - can't get the firmware to install WRT54GL ver 1.1

    Hi everyone, I spent and openwrt 2.4 and now you want to put the linksys back on. I followed all the instructions and just can't get it to happen - what am I doing wrong

    1. the unit is in safe mode - by pressing reset after power cycling the unit wait for the DMZ light press the reset button, the DMZ light is now flashing 3 times a sec

    2. I can ping 192.168.1.1 I can telnet 192.168.1.1

    3. I asked a technician online Tftp.exe as no download links I could find worked

    4. that unity is a worm WRT54GL 1.1 I downloaded FW_WRT54GL_4.30.12.3_US_EN_code, 0.zip - which I confirmed with the tech online as being the firmware available only

    5. I unzipped the firmware to 4 above

    6. as reported by online technology took the network port on my laptop that is running Windows XP to 10 Mbps half duplex

    7. have you opened Tftp.exe and putting 192.168.1.1 as a server, the password is the root password I put in openwrt and I selected the .bin for sync unziped file

    8. the program says can not find server

    Here, I'm to and are now totally stumped as to why it did not work.

    I downloaded another program http://www.brothersoft.com/tftp-client-122473.html tftp

    Try this software, I've learned an opcode not valid (2), which seems to indicate that she at least contact, but something is not right. Just for a test, I unplugged the modem and re - run the second program tftp and it cam back saying "no response from the server", confirmed by the first thought at least he did make contact. This second program has not anywhere where you can set a password. This program also installs a two command line option that I could not get to work

    So I have the following questions

    1. the use of telnet for the WRT I can confirm that tftp server is running

    2. can I get like a tail-f on a log file in WRT so I can try and see where it is a failure

    Other than that, can anyone add 2 c as to why it will now work for me

    Hi everyone, I found a way to get the update to work. As long as you still have SSH access which is

    1. with WRT mode normal ssh in to your openwrt

    2. rename the .bin into something more small it IE firmware.bin and upload it to somewhere on the net it's easy access

    3. in the ssh window cd /tmp/

    4 wget http://domainname.com/firmware.bin

    5. to make a writing /tmp/FW.bin linux mtd & restart I got this error

    Trx bad header
    If it is a firmware as well, as some of the
    the original firmware files, use the following command to convert trx:
    dd if = of = firmware.trx firmware.bin * beep * = 32 skip = 1
    6. so I did what he told dd if = of = firmware.trx firmware.bin * beep * = 32 skip = 1

    7. then go bat writing linux /tmp/firmware.trx & reboot

    And it's not all good - what a relief

  • Unable to get the administrator account, receive the error such as the user profile service failed logon. User profile could not be loaded. "

    Original title: "the user profile service has no logon. User profile could not be loaded"and admin password will not work

    I had this problem came several times before but it always correct itself without any intervention from myself. Now, even after restarting the computer several times I can not directly connect to my main Administrator profile. I have another profile without administrative privileges already done so I could at least use my computer, but only with limited permissions. When I try to do something to solve the problem, as the registry change, I'm prompted to enter the administrator password. I enter the password and the alert box goes, and nothing happens. Enter the password seems doing nothing, except the aknowledge the password is correct (it warns me when I entered a wrong password so I know it's no doubt receiving data). DOoes anyone know how to fix this? The computer works relatively well recently and have no idea of what decoration could have happened to cause such a mistake that bothers.

    I know that there is an account on my computer called Administrator. I know because when I type NET USER in CMD it gives me an account named Administrator. When I type in NET USER ADMINISTRATOR cmd, I get: active account number how can I activate this account?

    Given that the account is already active, you will not have to activate it. Anyway, you can type
    NET user administrator / Active: Yes
    When you are connected under an administrator account. Note that by using the administrator account gives you exactly the same privileges as any other admin account. There is no difference.
