    computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

    Hello

    You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

    Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

    Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    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:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased 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.

    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.

  • Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.

    Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.  When I try to catch the separator bar to go back to the left, only half of the small arrow icon and line appears, and it cannot be moved.   Can open the message by double clicking a message viewer.

    Hi there, alicefrompa!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. From your post, I understand that you do not see the Message Viewer box which allows you to read your e-mails; only see you the Inbox that includes a brief overview of the message and are unable to restore access using the separator bars. I have had this happen to my own Mail app and am happy to let you know how I could fix!

    You are really on the right track - you want to roll your mouse over the divider between the Inbox and sections Message Viewer (which should now be on the extreme right edge of your mail window) and drag it to the left.  When you click on the receipt/Message Viewer box, the cursor turns into a line continuous black with a single arrow pointing to the left. When you see the cursor change, click with the left button of the mouse and (while holding down the mouse button in) drag the combination line / arrow to the left. You may need to drag a little further than before to get it. I had to hang mine almost completely in the middle of my Mail app before the display of the message box appeared.

    From there, you should be able to adjust the boxes to your widths you want as expected.

    If you are still not able to get the display of the messages visible after have try this, here are a few more things that you can do.

    1. Press command + O on your keyboard.
    2. Exit the Mail application, and then press on and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening.
    3. Restart your Mac by selecting the menu  Apple in the upper right of your screen restart from the menu drop down.

    Hi stab them.

    I think that I n the new good t for you: restore factory settings without Toshiba recovery disc isn t possible in your case! :(

    First of all I think it's normal to s no recovery disk is delivered with the laptop as you will need to create them yourself using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That is why it s recommended using high quality as Verbatim DVD-R media.

    I think that the only option to recover to factory settings is to order a new Toshiba recovery disc.
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    I put t understand why you didn't create this disk, because after the first boot, if you shut down the computer area, you get the following message:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

  • Satellite L650 - 12K - restore the factory with Windows password settings?

    Hello

    Today I received my new Toshiba Satellite L650 - 12K. I went through the process of "first use" and put in place my name of user and password Windows 7 etc.

    However, after a reboot, when I tried to enter my password to connect to Windows, it says it is incorrect. I tried different combinations of password I used (I know what it's like I wrote it down at the time)-ive tried caps, plugs etc but nothing works.

    If I order the Toshiba recovery disks I will be able to return the laptop to factory settings and start the installation again, including Windows?.

    PS - I only put an account so can't even connect you as another user.

    Thanks for your time and your help.

    Gary2802.

    Hey Buddy,

    Yes, the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the initial configuration (on the box settings) even you don t know the password because it will remove the whole HARD disk and restore the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba.

    So don t you worry about this, Toshiba Recovery disk will help you! ;)

  • Windows Update does not not since the restoration of the factory - windows 7 64 bit

    Samsung s3520 - 5 recovery solutions, since the factory restore cannot install windows updates.  Tried various motions in the forums and 'fix' does not work.  Now try another restore factory but would be happy to hear any suggestions as to why this is happening because I'm unable to effectively use the laptop if I'm unable to install the updates of windows.  Help!

    You have to take care when downloading updates. You have 5 years updated and hundreds of updates of all shapes and sizes. You'd be more likely to succeed if you download batch. If you download too many at once, you can easily find an update leads to failure. You can then a lot of wrong to identify the problematic update.

    You would also have a more reliable and faster internet connection if you are using an ethernet cable, rather than a wireless connection to the router. Also, your computer must be connected to a power supply. Do not perform large downloads when the computer is dependent on only the battery for power.

    An ethernet cable is an expensive purchase.

  • Blue screen not resolved by restoring the factory settings

    Hello

    I have recently been experiencing problems with my iPhone 5. Blue screens were held and has increased the frequency of these blue screens - it has reached the point where you cannot use the phone at all.

    I am inclined to believe that it is a hardware failure, as I restored the phone to factory several times, without success. During most of these attempts to fix the phone, blue screens took place during the restore process, leave the phone in recovery mode.

    Another reason why I am inclined to believe that it is a hardware failure is due to the fact that sometimes vertical bars appear on the screen of the device, almost as if they are a watermark. To determine whether or not this hardware related problem, I took a screenshot on the phone when he turned on after a blue screen and sent this picture of my brother phone. Vertical lines were not present on the image that he has received, which leads me to believe that there is a hardware failure.

    Unfortunately the phone is no longer in warranty, because it is about 2 years old. I was wondering if someone had possible solutions to this, as I tried most of the fixes suggested on various sites without success possible and also if anyone has this kind of problem.

    Alex.

    A DFU restore usually recover the phone:

    • Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, if it is already there ((you must have Windows 7 or later or OS X 10.8.5 version or later version)
    • Restart your computer
    • Disable any antivirus and firewall
    • Launch iTunes
    • Connect the cable of the device to a USB port on the computer (not a USB hub), but DO NOT CONNECT to the DEVICE AGAIN
    • Press in and hold the HOME and SLEEP at the same time for 10 seconds exactly, buttons until the screen goes black, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button. If the Apple logo appears then that now the two buttons, you who was held for too long; start over.
    • While holding down the button HOME connect the other end of the cable to the device
    • You should see a message in iTunes saying there were a phone in recovery mode (it can take up to a minute for the message appears). When you see this message release the HOME button and the device must be restored. When asked DO NOT restore a backup. set up as a new phone.

    Try several times, if this does not work the first time; It is difficult to do in DFU mode.

  • Cannot restore the factory settings on Pavilion dm3

    Hello:

    You do not have the Windows Recovery discs.

    You must boot from the first floppy and follow the instructions on the screen.

    The best way to do that is to insert disk 1 into the DVD drive, reboot the laptop.

    At the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F9 key to start the start time menu.

    Select the DVD drive, and then press the Enter key.

    The PC should then attempt to boot from the DVD.  A message may appear on the screen that says basically «try to boot from DVD...» Press any key to boot from the DVD... »

    Press a button and the PC should then read the DVD, and you can follow the instructions on the screen.

    After the PC is done with disc 1, it will be ejected and invites you to remove disk 1 and insert disk 2.

    Based on the key F9 does not launch the only time where Start menu, and then press the ESC key and then select the options menu start.

    THANKS A MILLION!  Worked perfectly and absolutely right.  I didn't know the F9 option.

    However, she asked my password that I have no idea! I tried pressing 0 when starting, but it doesn't seem to work.

    Thank you

    The password is the same that you use for the Windows login. So if you use Windows login password n you should not put any password for the installation of recovery.

    If recovery image installation is blocked by password only way to install the recovery image is use of recovery or recovery from USB DVD.
