  Hello

  "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

  f you forgot your password for Windows, there are several ways to retrieve or reset:

  • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

  • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

  • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

  If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

  • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

  • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

• User account Windows 7 and security - my administrator account is now a guest account

  I seem to have a complex problem, regarding Windows 7 Professional, running on a Toshiba laptop.

  I recently changed my C: drive security features to make the files more accessible to my PC desk top of the page. I went through the process to allow the authorization: Windows Explorer, Driver C:, properties, security, group or user names:

  I selected my user account, and then you click on change. I then highlighted my name of user account and when permissions for authenticated users box below and clicked under the column allow "full control". The system when by a long time to change the permissions.

  Today, I tried to access the files on my laptop on my desk, all seemed very well! I was able to copy files back from both sides through my network. However, today, I noticed that my user account has become a guest account, while he was an administrator account. My administrator account is no longer visible.

  I tried the various patches available online in safe mode. Nothing helps.

  When I start my laptop in safe mode, I see only my administrator account and not my user account. When I start my laptop computer in normal mode, I see that my user account and not my administrator account. My account user has full administrative rights before that.

  How can I get my a new administrator account user account?

  Please clarify these aspects:

  1 you are referring to an administrator account.  There really the administrator username?  If so, this is the built-in Administrator account.

  2. Why do you say that your account is a guest account?  If you go into Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], user accounts is your normal account appear as a Standard user account?  That at least seems logical, the account guest is something very specific.

  - - - - - - - - - - - -

  If my assumptions were correct then

  A reboot in safe mode and use of the built-in Administrator account to create a new Admin-level account.  Password protect and write the password somewhere down or create a password reset disk.

  B connect to the new account Admin to test is everything is OK.

  C use where the other account to edit your account usual back to being an Admin-level account.  Then sign in to ensure that it works correctly. Restart normally [not in safe mode].

  D disable the built-in Administrator account if it appears in the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], user accounts, Manage another account.  I don't think it will be.

  E if you want to check out so you can now reboot into safe mode, and the built-in administrator will be gone from here too.  It appears automatically in safe mode if no other Admin account exists in the system.

  - - - - - - - - - - - -

  On the procedure that started it all off, the permissions change.  Windows does not expect this large-scale change and I invite you to reinstall Windows, since you do not know in what condition the system is now in - Windows probably does not know either.

  Hi Samantha,

  For you help I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

  Check out the links and follow the troubleshooting steps;

  Method 1:

  Method 2: Temporary deactivation of the antivirus/firewall software

  Enable or disable Windows Firewall

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  You should contact the provider of messaging and see there are problems.  See also if you can connect via webmail and if it works.

• Administrator password lost Windows 7 some kind around him?

  Need a way to bypass the password on the administrator account in windows 7 new machine and in the pass of configuration has been
  entered accidentally and don't know it.   Transfer of old data machine so I don't want to do a re install of full operating system or I lose data HELP! everyone?

  What account are you talking about? The 'real' administrator or your normal "group administrator" account? If you're the normal account you have another account with administrator privileges?

  Rather than wait for answers, I will cover the three options above. If it's something else I'm going to need more entries.

  (1) if he is the real Director, it is a fairly easy fix (I had to do the other day because my OEM set a password for the account).

  ·     Open Control Panel > user accounts and select the option that allows you to change other accounts;

  ·     Select the administrator account.

  ·     Disable the password required. Changing this option does not require a password.

  (2) if it is your own account, but you have another account on the system with administrator privileges, the above procedures will work here as well.

  (3) If you're clean and no other account has administrator privileges it will be much more complicated.

  First of all, try changing the account that you are in administrator. It is unlikely that it will work and would be a major security hole, but it is worth it.

  If this does not work, try to start a command prompt and activating the true administrator. Procedures at this link will guide you through the boot to the command prompt. Once at the command prompt, type the following two lines:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes
                  Net user administrator p@ssw0rD

  Notes: 1) these two lines can be in any order. (2) ""p@ssw0rD " is one example, type any password you want;" and (3) the password line may not be necessary in your case. I added it because as my OEM set a password on my new computer. If they did as well on yours, you must start the return to a command prompt to change the password later, so may as well do it now. You can always disable it later.

  Once you ask the real active administrator, start at the top and connect to the administrator account. Once there, use the procedure in "1)" above. This third option may not work, I've never had to try it this way, but it makes logical sense.

  Good luck.

• Lost password of windows 7 and we tried safe with command prompt

  I read here everything about starting mode safe mode with the command prompt, but it constantly load files and starts windows and goes to my screen asking for a password. Here's how I do it

  I restart the computer

  hit the f8 key I TOUCH scrool down to safe mode with command prompt

  It loads the files and starts just windows

  what Miss me

  Please help someone

  RickP

  You can use the Safe Mode Administrator account only under certain circumstances without password. If this does not work for you, then you do this:

  1. Use your system repair CD to start the machine in Repair Mode.
  2. Use system restore to set the machine to a point when the password is remembered worked.
  3. Plan ahead a little and create, test, and document an alternative admin account, even though you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• I forgot the password of Windows 7 and need to find out before I update my drivers of fingerprint - HELP!

  I recently changed my DV7 Windows 7 password and now I can't remember it.

  I can log on as the fingerprint app knows the password and am currently using this laptop.

  Over the past two days, the fingerprint app stopped working on some of my many time log on to websites and I would like to correct this... but, given that the only way that I can open a Windows session is my mark, I'm afraid to do anything until I can change or remove my windows password.

  I do not have a 'change password' disk and when I just tried to make one, of course he asked me my current password. I already guessed at my usual passwords but not luck... so maybe when I reset my password I hit the wrong key or my key caps or maybe even changed my PW to something that I normally do not use anywhere elsewhere.

  I am terrified that the fingerprints app will cease to operate at the windows log on and I will be watered.

  Is there a way to determine or even reset my password windows 7 without knowing? Is there somewhere in the application of the fingerprint where can I find the current Win7 PW?

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  The connection via the software of fingerprint sensor validation do you happen to have administrator privileges?

  When you connect, go to the--> user accounts Control Panel.

  In user accounts are trying to create a new account and give administrator privileges.
