Passwords via the SafeMode command prompt

Lets assume that I forgot the password or the password has been changed by sombody else from one of my accounts. I was able to change my password when I enter Mode safe mode with command prompt using the command: NET USER [account name] *? Just need to know for security reasons. 2 other people use this computer as well.

You are subject to two myths, which are without merit:

  • Only the "net user" command console gives you more privileges than the GUI installation. This isn't.
  • Safe Mode allows to do things you can't do in Normal Mode. This isn't.
You must use the standard to protect, backups for example
  • Create, test, and document an alternative admin account.
  • Create and test a password reset disk.
  • Create and test an indication of password.
Note the word "test" in the above methods. It is absolutely essential, but often overlooked.

  • Download the file to the windows command prompt 7 by ftp

    Hello

    I have a question about downloading files via FTP when I used the command prompt in Windows 7. Here is the example of the FTP address.

    Download file: GSE48865_RAW.tar

    FTP address: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm... /GSE48865/GSE48865_RAW.tar

    I know that I can type the address in Internet Explorer to download files, but it is very slow. Is there a method to download a large file via FTP in command prompt, or do I have to install any software to connect FTP server...?

    I tried this

    C:\MyFolder > ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm... /GSE48865/GSE48865_RAW.tar

    or other methods, but nothing worked. Could you help me?

  • Black square in the menu with the words 'Command Prompt' next to the place

    Since my 1st question, I have followed your instructions, my computer works so well and it turns faster as it did when I 1st got it.  In any case, it's Saturday & I just got home and turned away and when I went on the start menu, I noticed this small black square in the menu with the words 'Command Prompt' next to the square. I clicked it and it opens as a small black w/white square letters coming from Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved. 2006 and the next line of a c:\Users\user>_ and the cursor blinking. Should I just leave that on the menu in case I have it use?

    It of your choice, will not make a difference anyway.  Windows stores most often/most recently used commands and puts them under the ORB start so that they are just a click away.  It is an element of convenience only, and you can delete items here by right-clicking on them and selecting "remove from this list.  This does not remove the program, just deletes the shortcut to the frequently used list.

  • Error "the device is not ready" to the Windows command prompt when you access a key USB from VMware

    The host and guest are running Win 7.  Version of VMware is 11.1.3.

    The guest computer, Windows Explorer displays the USB and I can open its files, etc.

    However, when I use the Windows command prompt to access the USB of the client, I get error "the device is not ready".

    In order to get the guest system memory image, the application must be run from the USB as an administrator.

    Help, please!  Thank you!!

    I already found the answer.  Win 7 had not installed USB 3.0 controllers.  I downloaded several executables from Intel and Lenovo sites, but they does not work because the system only has not meet the specifications, etc..  Then I discovered that a USB 2.0 stick had any problems.  So, I use 2.0 for this virtual machine.  Thank you!

  • ReadyShare drive unusable in the DOS command prompt

    I have a Nighthawk C700 - AC 1900 WiFi cable router Modem where I configure drive ReadyShare USB access.

    When I type the UNC "\\READYSHARE\USB_Storage" and type the Admin password for write access - I "can" see the files/disc in Windows Explorer. I can map the UNC path as a player U:\ and I can see/access it very well in the GUI.

    However...

    Once I go to a CMD command prompt (even tried as admin) - I see 'no' this player U:\. Error message = "system cannot find the drive specified."

    ReadyShare drive is a USB 2.0 disk formatted in Win7 to NTFS 2 TB external.

    I'm on Windows 10 v1607.

    If I connect the USB directly to my computer - I can see/access this drive U:\ locally and use the CMD utilities against it very well (robobopy.exe).

    Anyone working on this issue and or knows how to get CMD to use/see the ReadyShare full-access/write?

    Thank you...

    Update: it's working now. ?

    I've upgraded to the latest version of Windows (1607.14951.1000) 10.

    I also upgraded Netgear engineering to v2.4.32.

    I "can now use/see the drive Readyshare in a CMD Shell."

    I can run normal DOS commands on this very well mapped drive.

    I had to modify my script robocopy to remove the /COPYALL and /ZB settings as I guess that Linux/NAS does not support these settings, but I can now, with the click of a shortcut on the Desktop - Sync/restore my files the on the network to the NAS drive.

    I don't know if it's the change in Windows or in engineering who has been around.

    hope this helps others too.

  • Can someone tell me what I should type in the screen command prompt to access the setupapi log so I can delete the files that stops me reinstall windows xp?

    My dell PC crashed then I followed the news online & tried to reinstall windows XP from my original CD.

    I hope this helps

    And just to clarify my and other previous posts... you do NOT get to a command prompt and start your receiver from sqlplus.  sqlplus is a command-line that connects to a database and provides a user interface to the question of the sql to the database statements.  lsncrctl is another command line utility, used to send commands to the listener.  lsnrctl and sqlplus are two completely separate and distinct, all tools two started from the command line of the operating system, that have nothing to do with the other.  Neither one is a kind of 'gateway' to the other.

  • How to create a value to select all the dashboard command prompt values

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    OBIEE version is 10g.
    I create a dashboard promt to act as a filter option. It includes all the values in the target column. I wonder how to add value to this prompt to select all of the values in this column?

    For example:
    Table has a column 'product '. Total of 3 values in this column: "product produced b","", "product c '. When I create a dashboard command prompt to include all the choice of 'product '.
    Show sql result: I press "select A product".
    Ok. This message now includes "product produced b","", "product c ' fall down meun. But the problem also. If the user wants to choose all the values in this column? How he/she can do that? I would also add a value 'All products' to include ' product produced b "," "," product c "drop menu drop-down. If the user choose this option. Displays all the results of the product?
    Thank you.

    June wrote:
    I'm sorry that I have no idea about this idea.
    Do you mean the dash prompt has a functional to the list of the values of all options as check boxes? Please would you give me a simple example if you are convenient?
    Thanks anyway.

    When you create the dashboard, as David T say, simply leave the values at all rather than send the SQL query. This will give you the list of all values for the prompt. When the user wants to run the report with all values, it will need check all the boxes in the list, to get the report with all products.

  • Error in the configuration of DNS server via the netsh command

    When I configure a local DNS server for my test-domain with the netsh command

    I get a messge for error (translated from German):
    The DNS server is wrong or does not exist.

    But the local configuration of the DNS server always works perfect afterwards.
    The question now is: what netsh like not on my DNS server to produce this error?

    I get the same message too and the command works perfectly every time. It's probably a timing issue. I would ignore it.
