System preferences do not accept the admin password

System preferences panel does not accept the administrator password

The Prefs system is just an application. Exactly where you try to use the admin password? What is the error you get? Are you sure that the password is correct?

  • Re: Failed on nine L510 Vista admin password - does not accept the admin pass

    Hi all

    Completely baffled by this one so would appreciate any advice.

    I just bought a new Satellite L510 with vista hard disk installation.

    I went through the installation process long and eventually got to the point where I could configure my admin account and the name of my computer.

    I chose the name of my admin account and typed in the password and confirm the password and named my computer.

    Now when I get to the initial Vista logon screen, it does not accept the password I am entered (and confirmed).

    This can be a problem with caps lock, as the password was all numbers.

    (the password was all numbers and five numbers)

    It, however, gives the correct indication for the password that I entered. It does not accept the password.

    I would be happy even just redo the installation process, but I have no idea how to do this, because I can't even a quick command-line anywhere.

    Help, please!

    It's strange. You can log on using a different user name?

    In any case to run recovery, you either:

    * Press and hold zero during the power upward
    * Press F8 before Windows starts to enter the Windows Start Menu, then run recovery of the option "repair your computer". http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    Need to run the recover console on my M50 pre-installed, but do not know the password - HELP!

    Hi loneraver,

    Why you n t know the admin password? Normally all passwords will be defined by the user, or in other words, I suppose that you have set all passwords.

    Unfortunately if you n t know the password more you have to reinstall the entire operating system. So take the Toshiba Recovery disk or the Microsoft disk to reinstall Windows.

  • System does not accept the administrator password when you want to delete file system

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: I downloaded bandoo and Yahoo since then I had nothing else problems. It's not my computer that I use, but I don't have the permission from the owners to use this computer. I have no problem signing into my account, it is impossible to connect and it does not recognize its administrator password to remove these items from the computer. I tried all that I know (which isn't much). Please please help me!    Also, I think that's why I can't return and before restore point I made this big mistake.

  • Photos do not accept the Facebook password

    I recently spent using Photos, instead of iPhoto, but now I find that I can't share my photos directly on Facebook.  When I try to do, it constantly says that I need to fill my Facebook password, what I did, but he never accepts the password.  I even signed out and back on my Facebook account and the password works then why it does not work on the Photos!

    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point when your password has always worked.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

    Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords

    Since it is a second hand bought computer, if it came preloaded with Windows 7, its better if you reinstall Windows 7:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    ------------------------------------

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  • My mother in disk hard laws burned and I replaced it with a new one when I went to reload the operating system, it would not accept the access key. How can I get a new one? with out having to buy new software?

    How can I get a new access key for windows xp pro?

    Hello

    There are several potential issues at stake here.

    First of all, make sure that you use the Windows product key is for the full XP Pro version not the upgrade version.

    Secondly, many manufacturers of computers for the last few years have provided computers with Windows XP installed, but a product key of Vista on the side.  If this is your situation, you need to call the manufacturer of your computer for the installation media or call microsoft to "downgrade rights."

    Thirdly, if you use a product key that was provided for Windows XP Service Pack 3, and you use the older installation media, it will not accept this product key.  You need to get your hands on support for XP Service Pack 3.

    Hope that helps.

  • acct user does not accept the administrator password

    I put user accounts when I try to make aplications, I am asked to use the administrator password, but it wont open indicating that this is the wrong password

    Hi assia,.

    You should check your setup of the keybord layout so it has not changed mapping.
    One thing is to write the password in a notebook to see that it is correct.

    There is no universal way to reset the administrator password.
