Somehow my diary of the administrator password does not work, no disc reset

original title: locked out! Help, please

Somehow my diary of the administrator password does not work. I tried everyting. I use Windows Vista.

I continue to be asked to provide a 'A' floppy to recover my password, but there is no floppy drive on my computer.  I have not configured a retreival diskette.

I am not able to access all the programs that I installed as an administrator through the comments log in.

I tried to re - install the complete operating system after no longer being able to access my programs and I am not allowed to do it either.

I'm at my wit's end! Can someone please?

Thank you

Completely lost in cyber space.

Hello AdrianaMonti,

I'm sorry but the Microsoft forum rules do not help users circumvent passwords of Windows OS or software systems.

I do not understand why you have problems with re-setup because it has nothing to do with your original administrator password. Your copy of Windows came pre-installed on your PC or did you buy a boxed copy and install it yourself?

If you are unable to re - install probably you get error messages. What these error messages?

This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • My Windows 7 Administrator password does not work

    My password worked before and I know the password. But it doesn't work anymore. I was told to remove the connection administrator to display icon making it inactive. Now, I can't login with the administrator account or the second user as an administrator. The imagined two message incorrect password. The two passwords are correct.

    I was not able to save the password initially as he needs to be to save to a floppy disk and I don't have a floppy drive. He could not save on cd or USB, so I never had a copy of it. I have the system repair disk, but I don't want to lose my programs.

    Your help is appreciated.

    Hard to say, but if you normally use an account to admin-level during your daily use, this means that you might have contracted a virus simply by visiting a site with an infected server.  When you solve it, make sure that you only use your admin account if you really need to take as administratively reconfigure your network.  In the course of normal daily use, use a non administrator account so that nothing can cause the admin account get accessible.

  • My administrator password does not work (I forgot not it). What should I do to access log on as an administrator?

    3 people know the password and none of us were able to get. What can be done to reset the password or to get the password to be accepted? We have no install disc.

    1. make sure that shift caps lock is turned off.
    2. try a different keyboard.

    If that doesn't help, clear the password with NTpasswd.

    Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    my phone is completely cracked and the screen no longer works. It's bad, because I can't unlock it, check the IMEI numbers or anything. I need a reset on this phone so I can sell it or send it to repair.

    (1) I tried Emma ("phone is locked")

    Turn on the device? You don't see anything on the screen? In this case, a USB OTG cable is your answer. You can connect a mouse or a keyboard if necessary.

  • The touch screen does not work after a reset.

    Original title: lost after factory reset touch screen

    I bought an acer aspire z1801 on the secondary market, the former owner has done a factory reset to delete personal data, but now there is no touch screen. If I look in the windows 7 Home premium, there is not a program for pen and touch, I learn that something happened when restarting a part of windows is missing? If I can add this section or I have to re install a new windows 7 on my computer, if I have to pay for the program I could go directly to the upgrade of windows 8 and that would be the missing piece?

  • Administrator password does not not under Vista

    I have a new desktop computer with Vista and have worked on getting it set up. I've set up user accounts, but my password of the administrator account does not work. I tried all the options and checked the capslock and even tried a few misspellings, even if I don't have a problem the first 4 or 5 times I had used it. is there anyway to reset it without having to reinstall Windows since I don't have a password reset disk?

    You did not account for additional user with administrative privileges? If this isn't the case, you will need to use a program like NTpasswd empty password for your account, so you can connect.

    Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burning with burning software, third party (as an image, not in the form of data), starting with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

    Once you're back in the system, here are my suggestions for how to configure user accounts in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. 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 it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    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. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  • my master password does not work, WHY?

    I used my master password for quite awhile. Today when I put it in it does not work. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I saw the the way to remove it, but then I lose about 28 login and password for all my financial sites. Why the P/W does not work? AND why would you if it can FAIL. Y at - it another way around this in addition to a total deletion of all my other passwords. I tried to restart my computer a couple of times to see if it would fix itself, but nothing helped.

    Have you tried to close and restart Firefox or restart the computer to see if it have an impact?

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    If the MP password does not work and is not accepted if you get a prompt to connect to the software security device, then it is likely that the signons3.txt file got damaged or replaced by an older version.

    You have a backup of files in the Firefox profile folder?

  • Administrator Bios password does not work on HP 4420 s XT940UT #ABA Windows 7 64-bit

    Someone please help me with this!

    I bought this laptop from a friend (have receipt) who sell it to me because the screen was cracked and spidered all out when you the activated. And everywhere he went to ask to get the screen fixed it is very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said that it would be just a newer laptop. So he sold me this which is a model Probook of HP4420s XT940UT #ABA. About a week after I bought this Probook friend who sold it to died me suddenly. It was sudden and terrible. Some time later, I had the time of the purchase of the LCD for this model, replace it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition. After installing all my software and using the laptop for a while now, I wanted to get into the Bios that I've never done. So when I started the laptop, click ESC, then F10 to enter the BIOS, there were two places to enter a password is different then all Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees I put in place using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/administrator. Well I can do most of the changes with the one I put in place with my password but my password does not work, nor can I get in some very significant changes that I wanted to do using Bios/administrator, as kindling the LoJack, namely the blocking of the hard drive etc. , turning on turbo boost, fan, etc. Well, since the person I bought is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to the answer to this question of administrator/BIOS password / problem.  I tried to take battery Rtype and restore that way, didn't work. Several times, I called HP and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS, I have already, would not let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and do not put anything in BiosConfigureUtility.exe happens, said just a wrong command. When I try to enter the BIOS through the C: file in the files of the SSM, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open it and it just flashes a way small order page to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop thinking I have a lot of time and money invested in it now. The problem would have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bits I suppose initially that he came with? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Pro is what I installed. I'm mixed responses from many different people on this and would like an answer from HP someone who has experience in dealing with the BIOS in the Probooks business models if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since become big fan of most HP, Dell and Lenovo.  I intend to buy two probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, but better.  Thank you for reading this and I hope someone can help.

    Model: HP Probook 4420 s

    Type: XT940UT #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate

    BIOS version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20

    SM BIOS Version: 2.6

    Hardware Extraction layer: Version 6.1.7601.17514

    Once you open a session with the service the customer of HP one case of pension, they will provide once the utility you and steps to execute it. who can capture the UUID. BTW - UUID is a unique ID for each machine (16 digits or more) stored in the BIOS itself.

    Once the results of the utility (UUID and other info) in the log file, shared with HP, they can generate a key file (SMC) to reset.

    Well, depertment of technical support can help you in it, no need to ask for anyone in particular or the Department.
