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

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

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.

Dell is press F8 at startup.

And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

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.

  • I can't change my admin password, even though I am connected to the account now.

    Last week I changed my Admin password to something a lot more time with little maintenance, however I do not remember it now, so my question is, what can I do to reset it back to the old. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a recovery disk.

    I tried to remove it from in the account itself, but it keeps asking for the password, I created another admin account so I can still do the General administrative tasks but I like my old account, I actually installed programs only to this account if I'm afraid to log out of it for now.

    I did a test on the admin account, I created and it does not have a current password remove or change its password. I was wondering if I am logged into this admin account, I wouldn't need a current password, but I wanted to ask here first... If I can't change it from another admin account, how can I reset it since in the current account without the collar that I created last week.

    I am sure I know the first 23 combination of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, but I can't for the life of me remember what I've added to separate it from another computer, I have... I wanted to just the two have similar passwords, with it longer, and so it would be easy to remember (which seems to achieve style lol)

    Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you

  • How can I change a password on my computer? How can I log on as an administrator?

    My son has changed his password.  He can't remember.  I am the administrator on the computer.  Can I change the password?  How can I do this?

    Go to control panel, user accounts, and then click on manage other accounts.  You can reset the password and it will be able to set up a new.

    Create a reset disk of password for each account on the PC.  See precautionary measure 2 - Make & test a password for each account reset disk

    - - - - - - -

    You should also create & test 2 accounts protected by password of Admin for the PC that are only used for the Admin permissions - see

    As a precaution - 1 Create two additional administrator accounts

    Then you should also demote your user account for your daily activities [log in as one of the other new accounts Admin accounts, then go to control panel users, manage other accounts again]-running activities daily while connected as an Admin increases your risk of having malware "Trojan", planted on your PC.  See Why use a standard instead of an administrator account user account

  • How can I change the password on the computer when I don't remember the original?

    Original title: How can I change my password if I don't remember but don't know the pin code and I know the password to my e-mail attached?

    I don't remember the password to my computer as an administrator, but I don't know the pin code. I know my connected Hotmail account information and also the password but I don't remember the password so cannot download certain applications.

    So I would like to know how to change the password.

    Any assistance would be much appreciated!

    Thank you.

    You need the password to another one administrator-level account, or to the real real 'administrator' account?

    If you use an administrator level account, you can enable the built-in true ' administrator' account, connect on it (she has no default password because it is disabled by default) and reset the password of another account from there.

    To do this:

    1. Press + X to display the context menu, and then click computer management.
    2. On the left, click local users and groups, and then select the users folder.
      On the right, you will see the account named Administrator.  There must be an arrow down to this topic icon, indicating that the account is disabled.
    3. Double-click the administrator account, and then uncheck the "account is disabled".  Click OK to save your changes.
    4. Close the computer and connection to the administrator account.
    5. Back to the same page of user management.  Right-click on the account with the unknown password and choose set password to set a new.
    6. Open log on to the administrator account and your regular account.
    7. Go back once more on behalf of users and disable the administrator account.  You want to book it only in an emergency - if something had to get changed or broken in the administrator account, you have a downturn in the future to use.

    I hope this helps!

  • I changed my password of gmail e-mail. How can I change the password used by Thunderbird to connect to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.

    Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.

    The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
    Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwords

    Admittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
    Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
    MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options.

    You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.
