  • I want to remove my windows password, says 'mandatory '?

    I want to remove my windows password and I get a prompt saying that account policies require a password! What counts! Is it my computer? I don't want to have to constantly connect!

    Scott, welcome to the forum.

    When a help request, you must always include the brand / model of the computer or the monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications for them.

    Here's a guide that will help you automatically connect using Win 7.  If you use another OS, you can find a guide for it.  This works very well if you are the only user.  I use this method whenever I have reinstall my OS.

  • How to cancel the removal of the password

    I recently deleted a password of an account on a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium, but now I didn't have.

    I would like to refurbish or restore the password of previous such account, because I now see that creating a new password would be destructive of some of the data associated with this account.  (e.g. saved passwords, encrypted .efs files and information, etc. etc.).

    Is there a quick and easy way to do this?  I imagine that there is a registry setting that determines or not a user must enter a password to log on to the computer.  I saw this in the Control Panel, but I guess that the real password file and the hash are intact.

    Additional information:
    I disabled the system restore before you click the "Remove password" button on the behalf
    The account in question has not been connected recently
    I think I've changed the hash length used for password files or anything to that effect
    In regular user accounts control panel interface, there is an option to "create a password" currently

    Thanks in advance

    I would like the password what it was before I removed it.

    Impossible! Windows does not store the passwords and Windows doesn't have a method to extract passwords from its file of password (for obvious reasons!).

    I'll qualify the above: If the c:\Windows\System32\config\regback\SAM file is earlier than the removal of the password, then it * * might be possible to reverse the ill-considered action.

    I tried several times and it does not recognize my master password. In fact, I had a similar problem with the usual password before going with the master.
    If I reset the 'master' password, I need to know that it will not erase all of my passwords where I use them as ebay, Apple, or emails. I don't want to be locked off sites or the loose them on this computer.
    When you say that it removes all, do you mean just the ones that I entered for firefox? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WILL REMOVE ALL? from my computer?

    CAUTION: Resetting your master password will remove all of your saved usernames and passwords.

       chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul
       Press Return.
       The "Reset Master Password" page will appear. Click the Reset button, to reset your master password.
    
       reset master pw fx29
    

    Yes, resetting the master password or removing signons3.txt will remove all the password stored in the password manager.

    If you use time Machine, and then try to restore the files logins.json and key3db of this backup in the event that you do not forget the MP, you have used in the past.

    It seems that the machine has a BIOS password. And it seems that there are only 3 options:

    1 Google for the procedure how to remove a BIOS password
    2. ask your son for the password
    3. send your machine to an authorized servicepartner and allow them to remove the password, which means that you pay money for it.

  • Tecra A3X - how to remove the BIOS password?

    Hello

    I have a Tecra A3x who died before Christmas. I bought a motherboard replacement on eBay. I mounted the motherboard and the powers of the Unit well stop but to a password screen that is black. I tried to find a way to wipe the BIOS and have removed the CMOS battery for about 10 minutes. I read that most laptops have a jumper built in too fix. I've looked in the usual places - memory modules etc. I can t find it anywhere.

    Any help would be very welcome.

    Thank you
    John

    Hello John

    As you probably know BIOS password is very important security feature and remove the BIOS password can be described on the public forum of the manufacturer s. It is a kind of top secret information.
    It is not logical to do this, right?

    Each Tecra A3X stolen with BIOS password could be unlocked.
    In my opinion, you should contact the person who sells you this motherboard and request password. If he cannot stop, return. At this info in the description of the product on its offer to ebay?

  • Satellite M - How to remove the BIOS password?

    Hello.

    I forgot my BIOS password. I tried to do everything to introduce some default passwords like "toshiba" "phoenix" pressing the left SHIFT key while booting to disassemble my laptop and find my BIOS battery to remove it.

    The problem is that my battery is stuck on my motherboard and I don't know what to do. I heard that there should be a few riders near the battery that could help me but I cannont find them.

    I'm desperate... What can I do?
    Please help me
    Thank you.

    Default password doesn't exist and there is no magic default password that can remove existing. Remove the BIOS battery will not help at all. It will not work on laptops, then forget.

    BIOS password can be removed in ASP only if the closest contact with ASP and they will help you.
    Theory with rider is also not correct because the BIOS removal procedure is not the same for each laptop model.

    Sorry, but ASP is your only way to remove the BIOS password.
