Password Recovery - need to edit the registry - cannot open a session

So, I got a brand new 1 TB SSD... Just got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed and approximately 20 or so of my favorite programs.

Everything is running fine...  On my old hard drive, I didn't have to type a password when my system started... Hmm...

I think I'll search the Internet and see how to change this... I made three changes... I added "DefaultUserName" "DefaultPassword", I added, and I changed AutoLogon to 1... Now... when I ReBoot... the screen comes up and says... New user... and the two fields are empty... I tried to type my username and password... Windows does not like that... I tried to hit just Enter... Windows doesn't like either. I tried to start safe mode... I had the same Logon screen for new user...... .i put my purchased copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit in my DVD player... one that I installed from... advertising and punt him... When I clicked on "Computer repair" I got an error saying that the CD was the "wrong Version" and that it was NOT compatible with the version that is installed... What the devil. ??? I just installed Windows two weeks ago on this disc very... Microsoft has kicked out several updates that now my installation is no longer compatible with my installation disc?

What should I do to overcome the problem of password? Is there a way to boot from a floppy disk BACK and change the registry from a command prompt... I won't have any problems remembering what three changes I made... I just need to go and undo the... Help, please!

Thank you, David, ThunderBoyDavid

Oh... If the e-mail address is visible... I use my wife's PC... Thank God we have separate PCs. She runs 10 64-bit Windows.

REALLY... Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. !!! OH... and no.. I never did a password reset disk... I'm sorry.

I made three changes... I added "DefaultUserName" "DefaultPassword", I added, and I changed AutoLogon to 1

-> Where exactly did you make these changes? Hack you the registry?

Is there a way to boot from a floppy disk BACK and edit the registry from a command prompt?

->, It is possible to change the registry from a command prompt, but it is neither simple nor recommended. BTW - the last we saw of DOS Windows accompanied me, 16 years ago. There is no BACK in Windows 7.

You must press F8 to boot the machine into Windows Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to restore Windows to a point before you did what you did.

When you are finished, use the following command to automate the logon process. It is the only approved way.

Control.exe userpasswords2

  • Part removed from the registry, cannot open the .exe, .lnk and cannot access the system restore

    Following the advice on a Wikipedia page to remove a virus 'active security scan', I accidentally deleted a potion of my registry (software?)  Now I can't access any .exe, .lnk, files etc.  I get the message "windows cannot open this file", and then me accesses a page with no software suggested to open the file.  I tried the system restore, but get the same message when I try to open the system restore program.  Any suggestions?

    If the Windows registry is slightly or moderately damaged, you may be able to restart the computer in safe mode and use system restore to restore the registry from the computer to the last known good configuration. However, if the Windows registry is seriously damaged, all types of logon will be prevented. Trying to connect to Windows causes the system fails, then restart. In this case, you will need to boot the system into the recovery instead of Windows Console. Once in the Recovery Console, you can use the Startup Repair tool. Startup Repair tool automates common diagnostic and repair of the installations of Windows tasks starts longer.

    (a) start your Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 DVD
    (b) on the first Setup screen click Next
    (c) in the lower left corner of the screen, choose "repair your computer".
    (d) on the System Recovery Options screen, select your Windows installation and then click Next
    (e) click on "Command prompt".
    (f) go to X:\sources\recovery > startrep.exe
    (g) this will take some time but will look at any registry related issues.

    Hey Chris,

    Thank you for visiting the Windows Xp forum

    I was wondering if you run a retail or OEM of Windows version. If you are using an OEM version of windows, you will need to use the recovery options you have from the manufacturer of your computer. If you run a commercial version, feel free to follow the article in the knowledge base you have found.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 how to recover a corrupted registry

    I was also wondering if you have another computer to work? If so and you feel comfortable or know someone who can remove the hard drive from the computer and connect it to another computer. You can view the disk hard kit to join. Once the hard drive is connected, you can go in my computer and copy all the files to another hard disk.

  • I need to clean the registry because it has not been done in a long time.

    I need to clean the registry because it has not been done in a long time.  I can't find any software cleaner that cleans all teasers just identify errors and clean up maybe 3 things, but you need to buy to do it all.

    What can I do?

    Do not.  He didn't need it and even if you deleted 1000 things from him (doubtful) it would make little or no impact on performance.

    If you don't understand the registry enough to know what to erase manually or how to add things yourself, etc. - using a tool that almost arbitrarily find the things that are supposed to be orphaned or not necessary and confidence (for some reason any) can lead to a system of death.

    If you just * have to * ("it's a moral imperative") and then use that integrated with CCleaner.  I generally recommend not even consider using its registry "cleaning" component - but in the many times I used to analyze and find things and go through them manually before I remove them (at least - I've seen ~ 250 entries, he suggested to get rid of and even in this case, my manual check led me to delete all and there was no adverse) I didn't it go wrong.  If you * MUST * do it, use it and save your changes, so you might be able to roll back.  Before do you all - make sure your backups are in order.

    Want generally cleaning XP and maybe actually get a performance gain?

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  • Targeting time - editing the registry - group policy preferences

    I have a client who wants to change the timeouts etc on a screen saver based on the time of day.
    Users often leave a machine (with Bloomberg information) on and operate using another machine while keeping an eye on the BBerg one.
    The plan is to have these Bloomberg machines have a screen long timeout during the day of work and failing, after that, so that users do not have to continually enter a password.

    Looking from the PPM, it must be done via editing the registry.
    I created the policy (sector, screen saver and screen saver on are all together (3 reg updates), then 2 times targeted reg additional updates to update for the screen saver timeout), but the policy applies to logon or a forced gpupdate.  It is not updated when the time change occurs.
    If I run a "gpupdate/force" policy changes based on the time.  I tried a scheduled task to "gpupdate / force" and which does not apply the change.

    Register GPP is not to work for the planning of time, or I'm doing something wrong?
