Previous password account

I tried to reset a password on a former Microsoft account and accidentally reset the password on my main account. I really want to use my old password, but he always tells me that I can't use a previous password. There are a number of previous passwords that Microsoft maintains to compare? That is to say. At work, our AD records the past 6. In this way, I could change my password 7 times and 7, I could use my 1st password.

Hi Alex,

Online services block reuse of the old password for a period of time for security. There is no option to change this.

It is normal that you will not be able to use your old password after changing. It is a security feature of all Microsoft accounts that cannot be disabled.

Please report if you have any questions on the issues related to Windows.

    Hi Garrett.

    1. are you referring to the user or password email account password?
    2. e-mail password, email account, if you are using?

    For security reasons, you cannot use the same password. I suggest you to see the following link for cause of passwords.

  • can not use previous password in ISE 1.1.2 patch-5

    It's my password strategy:

    password policy

    Lower-box-required

    Upper-case-required

    numbers required

    No - username

    Disable-cisco-passwords

    length-password - 6 min

    password-lock-retry-number 5

    I also entered the following:

    conf t

    password policy

    no password-locked-activated

    no no-precedent-password

    my initial account "admin" is the password of "Checkpoint1234".  He me lockout after 5 attempts of the Web UI.  Fine, I CLI in the box and reset

    the password, when I tried to reset the password "admin" to "Checkpoint1234", it tells me that I can't use a previous password.

    How can I disable this option at all?  In other words, I want to use the previous password.

    Moreover, in password webUI strategy, you should set the "password history" between 1 and 10.  WTF!

    Thanks in advance.

    I see... I would be grateful if you can mark this thread resolved so that others can benefit from.

  • That the restoration of a backup time machine, a previous password change?

    That the restoration of a backup time machine, a previous password change?

    It could, if the last backup was performed before the change of password, and she understood this password file.

    But if you are missing a password, see this article on the search for your password with the keychain:

    Cess.html http://www.Macworld.com/article/2013756/How-to-Manage-passwords-with-keychain-AC

    The fact that Time Machine does not have backed up prior to the change, or discarded a way to backup older you may have missed an opportunity to save, if you have changed it.

  • When I turn on my computer, already set up profiles disappear and are replaced by 'Kiosk' and 'other users' options that require passwords. I can get into 'other users' and find my previous user accounts, but lose them again after the reboot.

    I bought a laptop with Windows 7 installed a few days ago. I started to set up user accounts, administrator and a guest. So far, I had been able to shut down and restart with the accounts of users even reappear. I turned on my computer and two 'user accounts' had replaced my previous. Named "kiosk", which requires a user name and password which I do not have access, and one named 'other users' that requires a user name and password. I type in comments and no password and then I can access the guest account. When I disconnect my administrator profile is available next to my usual guest account. Restart the "kiosk" and "other accounts" reappear. If it's any help, as soon as I put on my computer, I had named MDX kiosk and administrator accounts. I deleted the account kiosk MDX. I don't know if this is related at all. It is not necessarily a problem, but a disadvantage however and I panicked when this popped up on my computer.

    Yes, you can uninstall MDX (it is called the digital experience of Microsoft) and it will remove the kiosk account and no trace of it, and then restart your machine. All other accounts on the machine should stay, but I would like to make a backup first. This should solve your problem. Associated with the store, you bought from should have done that for you, why they failed, I have no idea (we are instructed to do before the release of the machine to customers). If you don't mind asking me, where did you buy the machine?

  • Set up e-mail without requirement of password account

    When I configured my account manually and test again changes in box of normal password for pop3 and smtp authentication. It seems that the latest version of thunderbird stipulates that a password must be used at all times. This was not the case in my experience with older versions

    All e-mail accounts have and need a password. Nothing has changed. When you set up your account it will be a checkbox to tell Thunderbird to remember the password and enter for you when your email provider server demand. Use this check box if you do not want to enter the password yourself.

  • Change password account Google

    Hi all

    I just changed my Google account password by singing in Google using a browser. Now, I also need to change the password of my account on OS X, or Mail.app cannot access to my Google account.

    How can I change the password in OS X? Mail, for example, request a new password, it just shows an interruption of the connection. If I go on the Internet of accounts in preferences, click on Google, click details, he comes to shows me Description and name, but no place where I could enter a password.

    Thanks for help and best regards,

    Hi all

    I solved this problem by removing completely and adding my Google account. If this is the only way, it's really amazing. How can it may be difficult to implement a change password option?

  • What should I do if I don't know password account xbox

    I have a rather strange situation that you probably don't meet every day, but thanks for listening anyway and I hope you can help me.

    Well, here's my problem, I have a rather strange situation that you probably won't encounter every day, but thanks for listening anyway and I hope you can help me. Then, one day I really wanted to make an xbox live account. My friend helped me to set up an xbox live for my account, and he said he needed a parent email. So what he did was that eventually gets all deal this wrong information to an email, thinking it was just a moment to read the terms of use, to give children account privileges and much more. However, today, I learned that I need a password for parents to participate and I can't connect to my xbox live because it was all fakey information. It is extremely important for me to keep this account rather than make a new one that I spent a lot of money to buy the accessories and options for my account xbox live. Is it possible for you to terminate this account manually? Thank you

  • Restore photos from a previous user account

    Happy New Year to the team at Microsoft

    I created a new administrator account I didn't know would replace the account already on the computer.

    Bascially what I want to do is to retrieve all the photos that I have uploaded to this account on the new account and after attempts of serval location and research. NOTHING

    I hope you can help

    See you soon
    Sam from Auckland

    I am not a member of a team of Microsoft, but maybe can help you anyway. When you create a new user account, it does not replace the old. The only way your photos could be deleted is if you have removed the old user account.

    What may happen, it is that you have XP Pro or Media Center and have been using the account administrator for your daily work. Then you created a second administrative user account and the built-in administrator became hidden. This is normal. You can log into the administrator by Ctrl-Alt-Del twice at the Welcome screen. This will lead you to the classic logon box where you can type in "Administrator" for the user name and any password assigned you (or leave it blank for no password). Then, you can enable the administrator on the homescreen icon if you want. I leave the second administrative account to save for emergencies. You don't want the administrative account only on the system or the built-in administrator that you use for your daily work.

    Activate the administrator account on the welcome - http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_admin_ok.htm MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers screen - Don ' t Panic!
