    Thanks for sharing this, but we always talk about password of Toshiba, it won't and I think this might be a bit confusing, it is of a workaround for the windows user account password.

    As much as I know there is no password defined by Toshiba.

    The user can define the user account password in windows if necessary so that this workaround solution describes how to remove a user account Windows password that is common to all computers with the preinstalled Windows operating system.

    However, thanks for posting ;)

  • Is it possible to put a password that would prevent the program turn accidentally closed?

    We have a person in our laboratory which is spirit very scatter. Several times he wanted to reduce Labview program running, but doesn't actually not paid attention and accidentally closed it by clicking X instead of _, thus negating the whole experience. When the program was closed he didn't ask if he wanted to save or if he didn't know that he wanted to close it. Is it possible to put a password that would prevent the program turn accidentally closed?

    You have two options.

    1. You can hide the X in total in the properties of VI.  Go to the appearance of the window, click Customize, and then uncheck the option to allow the user to close the window.  You would need another method, for example a file-> Quit or exit option button.
    2. If you use a version higher than the Base, you can use a structure of the event to capture the narrow window? event.  This will allow you to ask the user to confirm to get out and do something else required.  If the user cancels, or you need to cancel, you have the abaility to cancel the event.

  • Article ID: 555540 - last review: December 28, 2005 - revision: political 1.0__Setup of password in Windows XP

    I'm trying to implement password policy in Windows XP Home Edition.  I want the password to expire in 90 days.

    I followed the instructions in this article by using a Windows XP Home Edition.  I used the command 'net accounts' before and after the step to add an entry to register and each time the net accounts shows the password max being ' unlimited. The only change I made to the registry was entered MaxPasswordAge.

    I restarted the system after making changes in the registry and it has not made a difference.  Does anyone have this done successfully in Windows XP Home Edition?  One thing I noticed is that the 'Network' directory did not exist in the registry then I added this directory (folder) and then added the MaxPasswordAge entry in the directory.  Any thoughts?

    Have you tried to put the password using the command "net accounts" rather than the registry?
    NET accounts /maxpwage:90

    Refer to the Microsoft Description of Net Accounts command.
