remove the administrator name and password
cannot update or download programs. pop up States 'type admin name'... but the area type in 'GRAYED OUT' help!
If you had only an administrative user account and it is him that you damaged, all is not lost. You want to allow the built-in Administrator and create a new administrative user by general recommendations for the establishment of user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.
All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.
If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:
NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
[Note: do not enter the brackets!]
Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to log on to the built-in Administrator account.
If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.
Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:
Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:
NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]
Exit the command prompt.
General recommendations for creating users in Vista:
You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.
In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.
The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.
If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:
Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC
Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I have been using Thunderbird for a long time. One day he told me that my password is incorrect. After several attempts, the correct password decided to remove the e-mail account and start to charge. Now, when I put the account it says "configuration could not be verified - is the user name and password? None of them are wrong. I tried to change the password, contact my email provider and everything works fine except when trying to use Thunderbird. The email that I had tried to set up is at work. Any help in fixing this will really appreciate it.
The best suggestion is to get the correct settings from your provider. They move to the top of their servers. They know the settings that work.

deleted user account and the screen is the user name and password
Hello
Thank you very much for the help in advance.
My personal PC at home never used me to ask for a password when I start it up, I can't put in when I took it out of the box, if I did, then I forgot. now, I went and I deleted the user account (admin) on W7 (the only one I had)... went to RUN > typed in "control userpasswords2" > highlighted account > remove... the PC did not ask if I want to keep the files or not, he just asked me to reboot now or later. I rebooted.
THE PROBLEM IS: after I restarted the PC, it now wants to put me the user name and password, I do not know if she wants my old username and password or what? (Forgot my password)
Will be commissioning a PC on the mode using safe without a boot disk (not yet tried) and what happens if the hidden admin account is what I deleted, then where?
Please help because I tried to put my old username that I used until I deleted the account... what username and password he wants and what can I do to use my PC again.
What is your computer brand and model? If not a branded computer, what is your motherboard brand and model?
When you start in safe mode, how many accounts user do you have? If more than one, you can create a new user account?

Original title: "Windows Security".
I have Vista Home Premium with SP 2. In Windows Mail, logon security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password. This happens from time to time for many months and I've always got to work but happened several times today. I can sign in the server through my ISP and get email. In Windows mail, I confirmed that the name of username-password is the same that I connect through the ISP. I can't front/send by email but receive in Windows mail.
Server response: '-ERR [IN USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again.',
So wait a while and try again later. You can also go to their website and log on there to see if it works.
Also try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/)

I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that without assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords
read the policy at the link below
Here are the different ways to reinstall vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence

Whenever trying to install a new windows program gives me a prompt asking the administrator username and password, I don't know how to install a program when I don't have the admin username and password. I tried, tried to run the program as administrator, tried playing with the command prompt. Even to manage user accounts that I am invited with the same, if I am not even given these fundamental rights so what's the use of this product. Please help me in this regard.
Hello Dominic,.
Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Community.
The prompt that you receive requesting the administrator username and password during the installation of any program is due to the User Account Control (UAC). UAC can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.
However, if you still want to delete the computer from Windows 8 user account control settings, you can view the suggestions about Disabling UAC in Windows 8.

[MAF] How to get the user name and password after login?
Hi Experts,
I have a call to REST where it requires identification information of the user (uname and password) to identify the data that belongs to who.
Authentication has been made with OAuth.
I believe that there is an API to get the user name and password in the CRG
See you soon,.
Hendry
Hello.
You don't need to manipulate the credentials yourself in code. MAF will propagate the logon cookie or inject the identification information in the HTTP header if cookies are not supported.
To do this, you must select the purchase option of cookie from the server connection Include in REST in the dialog box create a connection Login MAF , such as discussed here:
http://docs.Oracle.com/middleware/maf210/mobile/develop/MAF-securing.htm#ADFMF23732
In addition, you must attach the policy of security appropriate to the connection, as explained here:
