Question locked out
Recently, my father got a computer in a storage unit with Windows Vista Home Premium. When we tried to log on for the first time, we got the photo of profile/name and a password for the key, but we were completely blocked. (The name is Charles - Cory Cline btw) Is there any way I can just wipe all data from the computer, buy a new Reset Password Wizard, or something else so that we can use the computer?
Thank you if you helped.

- Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
- Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
- Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
- Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

There are different methods to reinstall Vista.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

Basically, I'm trying to help my sister in law with his iPad. She had initially forgotten its password to enter his iPad and if she got locked out. I googled how to reset and so I have connected the iPad to a laptop and went through iTunes (without signature). Now that the iPad has been swept clean it is now the scene of reactivating...
I typed in the country, wifi etc and now he asks the Apple ID and password that was used to set up the iPad initially that she can't remember. She does not know what email address she used and she forgot her password. I searched for centuries now what can someone help!
Is still connected to the account anywhere so that she can get him? Or she has none of the downloads of the account in the computer's iTunes library so that it can do "get info" on them and see the id? If not already tried it: If you have forgotten your Apple - Apple Support ID ?
If she can still find, and she was the original purchaser of the iPad (i.e. he not was purchased used), she might try to go to an Apple Store (it should take an appointment-Genius Bar if she does) or try to contact iTunes Support Online (https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html) and see if they can remove the iPad on the account - they are likely to want to see proof of ownership before they could help for example an original receipt with the serial number above

I changed my password and before I finished I was locked out of my iPod Gen 5
Today I realized that I had not changed my password for a while so I went to change. I had to enter my current password to change then I tried and got it wrong. The screen displays the numbers for let me try again, but he also said something like a failed attempt. I realized that I didn't know my access code numbers but rather the way in which numbers are connected to each other. I turned off the iPod and it went back in if I could enter my password and now my password I was using before does ' t work and I'm locked out. Please help me! I backed up last week, but I went on vacation and I wish that all my photos.

If you don't remember the password, then you must restore the device to remove it. You can then restore the device to your last backup. If the device has been disabled as you say, then turning off and on again will not disable the old password, it will remain the same unless you changed it. Once the device is disabled, you will not be able to save. If you have synchronized the device to this computer in the past, linking can cause your power backup, depending on how many times you incorrectly tried to get into the device. If you have disabled it, you will lose your content.
