  • Itried to install Thunderbird. He asked for a password. I gave him one, but it seemed that he knew and I didn't want. Can I get a new one?

    I used to use Outlook Express, but my new computer has Windows Livemail, that I find very unsatisfactory. A friend recommended Thunderbird. I was getting much to install. Then he asked my e-mail address I gave and a password, so I gave him a. But as I said above she kept saying was wrong. I had this email for a long time since we got broadband first.

  • When you try to restore my iPod nano 7th generation what it asks for a password how to find / get around it?

    MY 7th generation nano has his music to wipe and start again.  I tried to restore it in the air several times because it won't let me not in reason to ask for a password to allow this. the password is not my iTunes password. can anyone help? I use an iMac.

    Once the iPod appears in iTunes, it shouldn't be a problem with a password for an iPod nano 7th generation.  If you see a window pop up asking for a password, I think that it is a request for authorization from the Mac OS.  It is not directly related to the iPod or iTunes.  He asks your password for the account of the user admin (for Mac), as when you install the new software.

  • After running System Restore my computer asks for a password when connecting and I don't remember the password.

    I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305.  I ran the system restore due to a problem of "Internet Explorer cannot display the website" (by Microsoft troubleshooting guide for this problem) and selected restore point earlier.  Now the computer asks for a password that I don't remember.  I tried all the possible passwords I can think.   There is only a single user account on this computer.  The administrator account should be disabled, it is not an option when connecting safe mode.  I don't have a system repair disc set.   Is it possible to run the system back restore to select a more recent restore point which does not require a password?  Or y at - it another way to connect to the computer?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/undo-system-restore

    If you tried to use the system restore to solve a problem, but the problem remained or other problems were introduced, you can undo the restore operation. After you cancel the system restore, you can try using a different restore point.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  • When you try to connect to my router using the IP address, he continues to ask for a password of windows security.

    When you try to connect to my router using the IP address, he continues to ask for a password of windows security.  I don't know what it is, I tried recording with every combination I can think.  Can anyone help?

    If you do not know the password of the router, then chances are good that you will need to reset it to the factory settings. Google your model and you should be able to find the instructions.

    I hope this helps.
