  • Reset windows password

    I would like to place a "Forgot password" option to the windows logon screen and point to a script that connects to the AD and reset the password, so that the user can reset the password itself with some security checks.

    I could build the script, but I am looking if there is an option to do so at the logon screen.

    Thank you for your help in advance.

  • How to reset/recover password Windows 7 Administrator without downloads

    Reset my password because my sister discovered my old one, so I didn't want him to mess with my stuff on my computer, I changed it and I know exactly what it is because I had to type it twice. There is no spaces, symbols, caps, numbers, etc., just lower case letters. So I accidentally closed my laptop and tried to connect to my account, which is the only account on my computer with administrator privileges. I type my password and it doesn't work, then I tried again to make different combinations of letters where I had messed up when I changed my password. nothing has worked. I looked up how to reset the password, but most of them require a download, that require the admin to the privileges of the installation password. Anyone know how to reset or recover my password without downloads or USB disks/keys. If the discs or the key USB is the only option, I'll take it.

    User account, password reset disks need to be made before the password is lost. Please see:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-password-reset-disk .

  • Printer requires an access code to the user instead of windows and password connection?.

    I was see the printers to HP asking (LaserJet M4555 MFP color LaserJet 500 MFP M575 etc.) for access instead of windows and password connection code.

    One thing I noticed, is that when this happens there is a slight change in the EWS page configuration to security-access control >. The device administrator tabe is off, as you can see below ehen what happens

    Tried cold reset the printer and restore settings, but it does not work and some thimes it works for awhile but the problem has returned.

    We should not promt instead access code we need to connect normal windows and used password be there originally.

    The current configuration on your screen shows that the method, on the last column in the table header, log by default is set to the Local device. All permissions are also set using the default method ('use default' in the column 'Sign In method').

    In order to use the Windows authentication method, you must configure the sign 'Windows' in the method on the section above:

    Then set the default value 'Sign in the method' of the table of authorities 'Windows '.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

    Hi Deepak,

    Let me help you with your concern. This problem can occur for several reasons. One of the reasons that I think could be because the keyboard language has changed. For more information I would have you see and try what Cliff_N responded on 7 December 2012and let us know if that helped.

    Refresh the warning:

    The applications that came with your PC or you installed on Windows Store will be reinstalled, but all the apps you have installed other Web sites and DVD is deleted. Windows puts a list of applications on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    Please return to the State of the question.
