    Hi Natrezim,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    According to the request, I understand that you are unable to connect to your computer, because the password is not accepted. I appreciate your efforts to solve this problem.

    To help solve your problem better, could you give us the following information?

    1. Do you receive an error message when you enter your password?
    2. What is the standard account or an administrator account?
    3. You have another user account on your computer?

    If so, then I suggest you log on to the other user account and change the password of the account that you are unable to connect to and see if the problem still persists.

    To change the password of the user account follow the steps below.

    1. Click on Control Panel
    2. In the Control Panel select user accounts
    3. Under user accounts , select account management
    4. Under accounts , select change password

    Try the above steps and get back to us with useful information for assistance.

    Thank you

  • password not accepted after that laptop wakes from sleep

    When my laptop is on battery power and idle for a while, it goes into sleep mode. When I want to start working again, Windows does not accept my password. I need to change username, then click on my profile (which displays LOCKED) and only then Windows accept my password.

    After doing a search on the net, I see other Windows 7 users have the same problem...

    Hi Sean, the problem may be that the NumLock key is on in your profile.

    Try this.  Hit the key Windows and r and type regedit and click ok.  Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard and locate the InitialKeyboardIndicators value.  DoubleClick on it and change the value from 2 to 0.  Click ok and restart.

    Let us know if this helped.

  • Impossible to install the latest version of the username from adobe flash player & password not accepted

    Failed to install the latest version of Adobe flash player. My username and password are not accepted when trying to install. Someone has suggestions how overcome this apparently simple, but frustrating?

    This is the password for the admin on your own machine, it has nothing to do with Adobe Flash Player, the Adobe ID or this site.

    It's something that you have to solve yourself that Flash does not ask for your adobe ID install.

  • Satellite A100 - BIOS password not accepted after computer take part

    (Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched through topics, but too many subjects was found.)

    I have an old A100 for 3 years with no guarantee. I want to sell it so I took apart to clean dust. Everything for the motherboard. When everything has been cleaned and I reinstalled everything, I turned it on and the password of the BIOS has not been accepted. I know the password and it's OK to 100% and shift lock is not locked on.

    Is it possible that the keyboard flat cable has been installed wrongly, the cable was - a.f.a.i.k - reinstalled right, because there is only one way to insert into the slot on the motherboard. (Sorry for my bad English)

    Or BIOS confused and handed over to zero in some Toshiba service password? Is this possible?

    The caps lock is locking itself led of lights up and can not turn off with the CAPS LOCK key.

    What is the solution?

    > Is it possible that the keyboard flat cable has been installed wrongly,
    Connect the keyboard external usb to check (this is good if you remove the internal keyboard when checking)

    > Or BIOS confused and handed over to zero in some Toshiba service password? Is this possible?
    No, it is impossible that this password has been reset. In any case, I've never heard

  • Cannot access hard drive Time Capsule... Password not accepted

    The device ' Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd generation).

    Subject: Unable to connect to the HD TC

    I've reconfigured our old Time Capsule (CT) for use by my daughter dependent of the College.  What with the TC seems to work fine (IE. Internet access and WIFI configured etc...).  I reformatted the HD to start from scratch.  And last updated as indicated by the Airport utility application.  The intention is to create a new WIFI area with backup (Time Machine).

    When you set up Time Machine I stressed the internal HD of TC, and then it says "connecting to etc...".  After a few seconds, a new mold box presents itself to ' enter your password for the server (name of TC) for Time Machine can access.  I enter the HD password I had setup in Airport utility with nothing doesn't.  I checked all passwords with Airport utility "Show passwords".  Tried all the passwords, and of course which none worked.  And Yes, I even try the previous passwords even if I had changed their

    I noticed that using the Airport 6.3.5 utility running on my OS X 10.10.5 machine I can see and change the TC.  But when I use another computer running 10.11.6 is the Airport 6.3.6 utility does not see the TC?

    Thoughts and comments please?

    Next step may be reset to the factory settings, but feel something going on here...

    Thank you

    Kind regards

    (1) try to reset the password for the utility disk AirPort

    (2) open TextEdit on the Mac and type the password in plain text in an editor window.  This will allow you to ensure that all the keys on the keyboard are recognized.  I've seen cases where passwords fail again and again because of a problem with a wrong key on the keyboard or a habit of typing that makes you believe that you enter the password one way, but the result is something else.  Be able to actually see that typed password allows to check that.

  • Unable to connect, password not accepted

    Hello. I can't do anything. He continues to ask for an administrator password. I tried to reload windows 8 and he asked an administrator password. I tried to load windows from a CD 8 and he asked an administrator password. No matter what I do same problem. And I tried all of my passwords. What I want is to use EVERYTHING without this password *. I have a few passwords and it refuses everyone. So I can't launch a new software, can't pass, can't do anything. I tried the help topics, but at one point, he asked an administrator password or gives me the maddening message, I need to have administrator privileges. It's my computer - nobody else uses it. I don't want to enter password NEVER. Why would I want to? Help, please! Thank you
