screen saver now asking password

• Shared folder now asking password?

  I have three computers networked over the network to the Microsoft home page. All computers are under XP SP3 and I updated each computer. One of the computers is my work laptop. I usually "backup" my work files on my main computer on the network, using the "shared folder" of the main computer. For some reason, whenever I try to access the main computers 'shared folder', I now get a request a password. This seems to happen spontaneously that I've never had this problem before.  Everything was worked very well so far. I don't have the accounts password protected. I tried every password I've ever used, does not. This is * NOT * a problem of 'forgotten' but password Windows XP suddenly asking for a password when I have never posted before. I can access my "shared folder" computer laptop on the network with other computers without problem. The only problem is trying to access the shared folder on my main computer, which translates the request for a password. The user name is gray, with the name of the main computer in the username followed by a slash "/ guest" and then a password box to enter. I checked simple file sharing and have never changed this setting. I have run and rerun the wizard network on all computers without success. I tried assigning passwords and use them, without success. An index is on the computer I am currently viewing, I used to have two accounts of users (in addition to the hidden Admin account). One of these accounts has BEEN password protected, but NOT all files were used in this account. Recently, I deleted this account that I no longer use it. In other words, the deleted account was in any way related with the "shared folder" that I use with the other account, the only one on the computer now. The account that I use for the "shared folder" does not have a password, but even if I assign one, it won't let me access the shared folder on any other computer. This user account has administrator privileges. I have also enabled and disabled the "guest" account, without any help. I am at a loss to understand why Windows asking you now this password. I saw one couple of other similar questions raised but not solutions. Any ideas? .......... Bob PS: If I access the computers 'discovers the Working Group"I have no problem accessing the"printers and faxes"on the main computer of the notebook. However, I cannot access the file 'sharedocs '? Something specific happened to the file "sharedDocs" on the main computer.

• After restoring factory and updates for Windows 7, the system now asks passwords

  Recently had to do a factory restore on a toshiba laptop with windows 7 preinstalled top. has restarted the machine once he had comepleted and now it says Admin profile is locked and my username and password do not work

  
  

  1 - password was never set on the user profile. (Yes it may have been stupid not to do that for security, but that a person uses the laptop)

  2nd why admin profile has been locked?

  3rd - without having a password to disk or save it on a USB key, how can I get around this?

  4th - also why Microsoft charges to ask questions and get support on their own products?

  * original title - Windows 7 - had to factory restore after updating to windows 7. now, cannot connect to admin or normal user logon. said needs password. PASSWORDS were never defined for this? Please advise *.

  no disc to try this.

  Ive managed to get it to load the office by changing the settings via safe mode, but with a full restore (some missing drivers, IE the sound card), it always seems to be filled with questions. It runs terribly slow now and still doesn't let me do half of what I need to do to restore its former glory.

  at the present time, this will make a nice door stop or decoration of the table such that it cannot serve to something else other than to gather dust.

  does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem that began after I installed the latest update of windows 7, 2 days ago.

  Try this:

  To access the system recovery environment in Windows 7, simply start your PC, just before the system loads the Windows operating system. Press the [F8] key function 8 on your keyboard which will launch the menu Advanced Boot Options. You will see a new option "Repair your computer", select this option and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.

  This will allow you to start system recovery environment and access to the same tools.

• BlackBerry Smartphones recent update and now no screen saver

  (I recently yesterday) updated my software on my Blacberry Bold 9700.  Before update 2 function keys for standby (right if you look at the phone) and lock (left side) on the top just that fact with the lock button showing a screen saver until the screen become black after a break.  The phone lock button to access the screen saver function that comes with more downloadable themes.  It is now the screen turns off as if it is in standby mode.  The standby key has now no functionality.

  Is there a way to fix this?   I had a look through all the options and took a look at BB to help, but I don't see a way to assign or change the key features of locking.  I didn't really use the sleep button on the all so not worth it if I can't change that.

  (Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere I was not sure what search term to use and 'screen saver' and 'pending' did not help at all.

  Yes, it has been asked and answered many times, and you wouldn't have around her as a "screen saver" like the BlackBerry doesn't really have any screen saver. What you're looking for is the "lock screen", and the function of the button mute on the upper part has changed, with the latest software updates, several months ago.

  Also, get what you want, you will need to have a password on the device.

  In otherwise, touch the top edge just puts the unit in standby mode.

• Equium P300-16 t has not started up - now asking for Bios password

  Hi everyone, I hope someone can help.

  I have an Equium P300-16 t.
  First it wouldn't start, just the media & power led lights.

  Found that the upper ram module no longer works.
  With only of ram in the computer laptop lower slot will start. Test different combinations of modules, but unit will not start with the lower module filled.

  At least it starts I thought, but now after the toshiba screen, I now get a screen asking me a bios password.
  Research on the web, I see that it is a random problem.
  The unit is out of warranty.

  Any suggestions please

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  Unfortunately, it seems that the laptop calling you the BIOS password (don't know why) who is not known to you
  In this case, you should ask a technician using ASP.
  The guy was able to remove unknown BIOS password by using a special procedure.

  As far as I know it of not possible to remove unknown BIOS password without help from ASP.

  Good luck

• Monitor turns off after 5 minutes & password protect when he wakes up. View properties - > screen saver "Wait: __minutes" and "on RESUME, Password Protect" checkboxes are grayed out.

  Help, please!

  I'm on a processor to work, so I've limited the administrative rights on the computer. My work function requires that I propose on the desktop to help others with professional assignments.

  THE PROBLEM: After 5 minutes of inactivity mouse/keyboard of the monitor off on the processor to work, she does not even go to a screensaver first, the screen turns off just in standby mode. When the mouse is moved or a key is struck, the screen lights up with a name/password user. I am developing carpal tunnel / repetitive stress syndrome having to retype my username and password so darn times per day, at the expense of some administrative setting of BOGUS Microsoft Windows... SHEESH!

  When I click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> display-> Display Properties-> screen saver , the "Wait: __minutes" and "On resume, password protect" checkboxes are GRISEES OUT [you can't edit these settings] . In addition, the default screen saver is set to void and no matter how many times I change it to something else and click 'Apply' return empty by default.

  TWO SERIOUS CONCERNS:

  Un When I'm away from my desk for more than 5 minutes, if someone arrives at my office, looking for me, it seems that my machine is completely off, so that co-workers can get the impression that I am out of the office when I could very well be just down the Hall.

  Two The Office I'm implemented in a motion sensor energy saving lights in the office, if the lighting turns off automatically too, so if I'm missing in the server room or help someone at their work station for an extended period of time, if someone comes to my office, looking for me, my machine seems to be completely off AND turned off the lights in my room , so it's as if I has not yet come to the office that day there!

  PS. I have a screenshot of my locked dialog box display-> screen saver properties if you need more information. I wish I could download it right on this post to make things clear.

  PPS. Isn't it above described situation in the heart of the reason why employers more these days this demand we have iPhones, BlackBerry and SmartPhones? Because doctors and human beings humans with a bit of common sense finally realized that we must be sure that we move around during the day, at least several times per day, not only the stationary to our office location - watch a screen - ensuring that move us the mouse every five minutes so that our machine is not hibernate and look like it is not to do anything?

  PPP. If Microsoft can not help me with a work around for this issue because this issue is, 'something that I take with my 'network administrator',' kiss my _______! Everyone must be wrong because of the stupid administrative _ like this and if yes - I NEED TO KNOW - maybe I was just not cut for a job on time full computer.

  PEACE

  Hello JDG_SF, welcome.

  These options are very likely controlled by your GP (Group Policy) settings on your domain. Due to the nature of the work of rights how administrative, there is no way to work around this problem, unless you have access to change group policy settings that affect all the machines on your network.

  You would need to access or to change the settings of GP or find someone who already has access.

  Use your Windows password for your screen saver password

  You can help make your computer more secure by creating a screen saver password, to lock your computer when the screen saver is activated. The screen saver password is the same password that you use when you connect to Windows drives.

• How to set the password for the screen saver?

  When connecting, password is not necessary and I put it under 'control userpasswords2', but I'd like to set password within the screensaver 15 minutes idle.

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Hello

  You will need to set a password for the connection on your computer user account.

  After that, you can set the screen saver and set the option on the resumption, the logon screen and specify 15 Minutes to time waiting .

• I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

  Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

  I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

  If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

  Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

• You can set the password to the screen saver different password that the password system on Windows 7

  I want to set the password for the screen saver to something else that the network password that I use. Is this possible in Windows 7?

  It is not possible. When the screensaver starts and then interrupted, the login screen appears. Then, of course, it cannot be a different password.
