System Restore changes the previous windows password?

Original title: System password restoration & Win

The system restore affects windows password?

Hi jack92,

We do not believe, because we can undo system restore if you have forgotten the password and you can create a new password if you have not set a password.

For your reference:
1. see Undo system restore
2. see protect your computer with a password

  • in the system restore, why the previous months are cleared from the restore points? It shows only the current month.

    Windows XP operating system

    System Restore can record only as much as is will insert in the allocated space restore points.  Once the space is filled, older restore points are purged as new ones are created.

    By default, the system restore allocates 12% of the score, he's being followed.  On today's big hard disks, which can cause a huge allowance for the restoration of the system, which in turn can cause problems.  For best results, set about 1 GB space.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html

  • on windows xp, my system restore to a previous restore point. have you tried many restore points & creating new ones but the system does not restore. all the solutions out there?

    on windows xp that my system restore to a previous restore point, I tried many restore points & created new ones but the system displays "could not be restored", any help out there.

    Let see... What do we know about your system environment:

    It's windows xp.

    If we knew more, you would probably now.

    What is the problem that you are experiencing this thing you System Restore will be remedied?  System Restore is not a time machine.

    The system restore already worked successfully in the past?

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  • cannot restore from the previous date says computer is unprotected I just get rid of the virus of audit system

    rid of virus check system but cannot restore the computer to the previous date

    You never said how you got rid of the "System Check" malware. As far as we know, he is still there. Follow these instructions (if you have not already done so):

    Also, as Jose pointed out, there are programs that are designed to interfere with the system restore (Norton is one of the most common). But there are really two questions. First of all, we will treat your malware problem. We can always revisit SR at a later date.
    Finally, even once as Jose pointed out, you NEVER run the system restore after the removal of the malware! Which could only bring him back! That you have to turn it off and then put it again, which will REMOVE all previous restore points. You really all gone!

  • System Restore error: "the changes to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»

    I had some problems with my computer recently I knew could be solved with the system restore.  Then I went into system restore and went to a restore point that was a few weeks back.  After I clicked on it and pressing the ok button, the following message appeared: "the changes made to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»  I let it continue and do the restore.  My computer has rebooted and came up with an error in system restore that says restore failed.  It's the same thing with other restore points.  I don't know why I get this error because I not made any changes to this hard drive except for copy of a document word on him.  I thought that the System Restore monitors removable disks.  Anyone know what is happening here and how I can get the restoration of the system to operate without the mistakes to come?

    I have Norton.  Disable the Tamper Protection works.  I also noticed that since the G: drive was a portable hard drive, System Restore wanted to exercise oversight.  He wants to monitor all hard drives.  Turn on external and portable hard disks prevents tracking system restore changes to the readers.  I don't think anyone would have the system restore review external drives anyway.  It is not necessary.

  • System Restore and the host file

    How do you keep restoring the system to unblock web sites in the hosts file?

    Hello

    System Restore is not designed to do what you want it to do.

    A system restore point contains the settings of the computer at that moment in time.

    It's the idea of system restore.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-pH/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    "System Restore helps you restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time. Is a way to cancel the system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files.

    "These restore points contain information about registry settings and other system information that Windows uses."

  • How can I stop Firefox to return to the previous window, as soon as I open a new window?

    In recent versions of Firefox, whenever I chaque fois que j' ouvre opens a new window, as soon as the window opens, Firefox goes back to the previous window, the one that was on the screen before I opened the new window. This is very irritating and not happened in older versions of Firefox.

    Any suggestions how to solve this problem? Thank you!

    FYI, this isn't a forum threaded, so answers are displayed at the bottom...

    DOM.disable_window_flip is a true/false preference that determines whether a script in a web page is allowed to change orientation between the windows of Firefox (in general, to be in front, or pop-under by making the window from which it was opened at the front).

    By default, this preference is set to true to disable the windows around Web sites to move, but it is possible that the setting has been changed. To view/change this preference, you can use the subject: configuration preferences editor.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the Search box that appears above the listfilter, type or paste the flip and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click dom.disable_window_flip to light it between true and false.
