Unable to connect to direct e-mail, password reset does not work

says invalid password, but can't reset

You will find the answers to these questions and many others in the Hotmail help center.

If you cannot solve your problem using these solutions, post your question in as much detail as possible (can not reset doesn't tell us a lot - what happens when you try?) in the dedicated forum Hotmail.

  • Unable to connect to the WLAN because FN + F8 does not work!

    Can anyone help or I have to do my warranty book. I have some problem with my computer WiFi functionality because FN + F8 does not work. I bought my laptop 3 days ago, and it's a very big problem for me. I do the Wi - Fi connection.

    Help, please

    Dear Ruino

    At first, I must say that it will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have. It will also be interesting to know the flash cards exist at the top of the screen if you press the FN key.
    Otherwise please go to START all programs utility from Toshiba and click on restart Flash Cards.

    Please also make sure that the WLAN antenna is turned on. WLAN LED should be on.

  • Account compromised Hotmail - password reset does not work!

    A few days ago my account Hotmail "sent" emails to all my contacts, even if the emails are not in my sent items folder.  To prevent this from happening again, I installed antivirus software and also deleted all my contacts from Hotmail.  I could access the account for a day or two, but now, without warning, I can not access my TI at all.  When I try to log on I get a screen "your account has been blocked.  I have a second email address, to which I ask a verification code sent to unlock my Hotmail.  When I enter the code, I get a screen "Reset your password".  I have reset a strong password and save, then resubmit my secondary e-mail address, then continue.  I wonder for a phone number as another option of password recovery, but I ignore this screen and click on continue.  I get then tell screen ' authorized error 401 - no server: access denied due to credentials not valid.  You are not authorized to view this directory or page using the credentials you provided "."

    Makes no sense to me!

    I installed Avast antivirus and Microsoft Security Essentials but neither picked up a virus on my system.

    Help, please!  I really need to access my account!

    Hello

    First of all you must have a significant anti-virus program on the computer at one time much
    less running. Even if disabled they will always load parts of themselves into a memory that
    can cause strange issues while actually reduce safety. Even the remains of a
    uninstalled antivirus may cause problems.

    Hotmail hacked? Take these steps
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2010/07/07/Hotmail-hacked-take-these-steps.aspx

    If we had the same problem that we would have to use the links above and these methods.

    ===========================================================

    More information:

    If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
    had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
    list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
    could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
    any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
    (beneficiary).

    Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
    send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
    can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
    mail.

    I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
    This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
    As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
    SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
    SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
    instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
    as if by magic.)

    ============================================================

    Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

    The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
    still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
    Change it again after these checks.

    It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
    account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
    were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
    who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
    NOT only the answer to the address.

    =============================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist

    Guys,

    Need a little help I'm running the following

    vCenter Server 4.0.0 (build 208111)

    ESX Server 4.0.0 (build 208167)

    I have a computer virtual running WIndows 2000 Advanced and when I try and open the console I get a black screen and the error message following

    "" Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist '. "

    I scoured the data store and all the files of the virtual machine appear to be in place, I thought deletin the virtual machine from the inventory and add the vmdk file, it would be a good idea?

    Thank you.

    Remove and add new inventory won't hurt (you could lose data historial for virtual machine), it probably won't solve the problem.

    I doubt, it is a problem with the .vmx file, but you can try:

    -Remove the VM of the inventory

    -To create the new virtual machine (with the same characteristics as the virtual machine that you removed), name it differently and do not add hard drives that it

    -Change the new VM settings and add the existing VMDK virtual machine that you deleted

    -Power on VM and try

    • You should always have your complete file to the virtual machine original intact, in case you need, you will always have your original vmx file to add it to the inventory.

    By doing these steps you re-create the vmx file.

    f this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

    You can respond with more details on what you mean by "does not"-for example, no option to create a password, no option to lock a note, cannot open a note protected without password, etc..

  • Without password ssh does not work but the ACR is fine!

    Version: 11.2
    Operating system platform: AIX 6.1

    Background:
    For stand-alone installations DB, we use the oracle of the LDAP user as the owner of the Oracle software. This oracle user is not in/etc/passwd

    For the CAR, a local user of oracle is mandatory and we created and installed grid and DB several months ago. Everything worked. Today when I made a ssh of Node1 Node2, is asking for password oracle. IE Passwordless ssh does not work


    I have connected to the instance1 and ran
    select instance_name, host_name from gv$instance;
    This is the list of instance names and host names. How is the feature CAR is still intact without SSH without password?

    Hello

    So, what you are implying, is that, user equivalence is required for Installation, but not so required for the feature CARS. Right?

    RAC will work without problem and CARS not use SSH, but resource "ora.cvu" of Oracle Clusterware using SSH for healthcheck.
    When you run '. " "/ cluvfy" is mandatory you have ssh configured with equivalence of the user, the 'ora.cvu' resource is "cluvfy.

    So, if someone deletes the directory .ssh mistakenly Oracle $HOME, RAC feature pourrait still work?

    Yes... CARS doesn't always work. SSH and Oracle Clusterware, Oracle Clusterware also still works without problem, have a low dependency.

    As RAC FAQ mentioned is mandatory present an equivalent user (ssh, etc.) set up after the installation of the PAP/GRID.

    Kind regards
