• Need help to retrieve the password for user account Windows 8.

  I need help!

  I have configured my windows 8 "admin" or "user account" password for over a year now and I don't remember what it is. I tried to download a new antivirus on the computer software but it takes the administrators password to make changes to this laptop.

  How can I know what is this password and how do I solve the problem in order to be able to install new software?

  Thanks in advance

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

  If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

  • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

  • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

  • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

  If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

  • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

  • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

• Cannot set the password for user connection in Vista Home Basic

  My laptop (running Vista SP2) has no password on the user account. Guest account is disabled and my user account is administrator.

  I would like to add a password to secure my PC a little more by doing the following:
  AutoScan (Vista Orb) > Control Panel > user accounts > create a password for your account
  I enter a password to 10 characters. I tried more or less characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers etc, but everything I try I get the following message:

  "The password you entered does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

  Any ideas what to do here? I tried searching online and through this forum but have been unable to find someone who had the same problem, and even less it is solved!

  I ran Microsoft Security Essentials software, choose scan "Full". The software found no viruses or malware on my computer, but he did put in quarantine RealVNC (software remote access we use occasionally to work).

  I have created a screenshots of system information (to show which operating system I use), the dialogue 'create password for your account' (to show that I am logged on as administrator and to make sure that I do not have the process wrong--always possible!) and the error message "user account control panel.

  I also took a screenshot of the thing that MSE found after analysis is complete on my system.

  I solved this problem!

  The problem was caused by HP - something that was installed on my laptop security manager because I bought - I never used and had no idea he was running. I discovered this when I decided to upgrade my operating system to Windows 7. I was running a tool to check if the software I had installed is compatible for the upgrade; It turns out that the HP Security Manager is not compatible with W7, and when I uninstalled it I followed a hunch that it might interfere with my account - tried by adding a password and he succeeded!

  I was also able to install Sophos and it works properly now.

  I've always upgraded to Windows 7 in the end, but it was nice to be able to solve this problem (even if it took me Age to understand!) Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

• Error when you try to set the Parental control 'Unable to set settings for administrators user or unknown users.

  I am trying to set up Parental controls for the user account of my son and I get the following error: error when you try to set the Parental control 'Unable to set settings for administrators user or unknown users.

  I tried to use the administrator account.

  When I ran the System File Check sfc/scannow

  TI completed indicating certain files may be damaged and cannot be repaired and check the convertible bonds. LOG file.

  How can I know which files are corrupted.

  Any other Suggestions on how to fix this user profile?  Do I have a profile that I don't know?

  Hi wimuggss,
   
  Step 1: Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result
  See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?
  Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
   
  Important: Enable UAC after you complete the steps.
   
  Step 2: If the problem persists, try to set the parental control in safe mode and check the result. If you are able to apply settings in safe mode, this means that some program is causing this problem, mainly the security software.
  See Start your computer in safe mode

• Is there a way you can use a previous password for an account.

  Is there a way you can use a previous password for an account because I don't want to use a strange password for my account as it gets boring if you must use a password like 1h5ks783k.

  Hi Garrett.

  1. are you referring to the user or password email account password?
  2. e-mail password, email account, if you are using?

  For security reasons, you cannot use the same password. I suggest you to see the following link for cause of passwords.

• g 11 default password for users created in the IOM Web Console?

  Hi all
  
  I currently have a problem with putting in password of default user in OIM 11 g.
  
  First, what is the password by default when a user form is filled out with empty password section?
  
  Second, I tried to use entity prepopulate adapters, adapters, etc., but I can't seem to find a way to set the default password for a user created by the Web Console of IOM.
  
  If anyone knows how to do this, could you explain how to accomplish (one point to appropriate documentation would be greatly appreciated, too).
  
  Thanks for all the help in advance!

  Hello

  You have several options:

  First of all, you cannot create a user without password unless you have an id valid provided e-mail. At least provide a manager who has a valid e-mail id. In these cases, password is automatically generated and will be sent.

  1. the user event handlers. (Post processing event handler). This approach works for both manually created users and reconcile trusted users. It is more of a 11g and a recommended method.
  Reference: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309/oper.htm#OMDEV3085
  [7.2 extension user management with event handlers operations]

  2. to reconcile users, you can also use the task process and set password to users when reconciliation insert received. It comes in a conventional way.
