• unknown user Skype with my email

  [The update by the moderator topic title should be more descriptive. [Original topic title was: 'unknown user Skype']

  Today at approximately 11:26, a Skype user, I've never added before is appeared on the list of my friend? Their display name is set to one of my emails (which is not registered to this Skype account including) and to my knowledge has no connection with the account that I currently use.

  I called and texted. The call never crossed and the message sent, no more. They have no user name in their info, only 'messenger' Panel, where the username is supposed to be.

  Anyone know what it is? It could be a kind of robot, but I don't know because this email is not connected to it. This could be because I have connected to the Skype account that the bot is associated on this computer, but I'm not sure.

  Screenshots down below.

  Any help or ideas for what this might be is greatly appreciated.

• I gave a comuter the person who owned it died. How can I change the user name and password?

  A few months ago, I gave a comuter the person who owned it died. The window indicates Micrsoft Window XP Professional-HP. My problem is that I do not have access on behalf of users and password. What should I do?

  Hello

  Many on this forum suggests that when you "inherit" a PC, you should do a clean install of Windows to delete the unwanted "baggage" that the previous owner has left behind. For example (but not limited to) viruses and criminal and illegal downloads. Such a procedure will reset all the passwords anyway. The PC may have a factory reset mechanism still intact. Visit the manufacturer website for more information, or we do know the number of brand, range and model of your PC for assistance.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of any other connection.

  To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

  If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

  Hello

  Hello
  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

• My windows XP user name change?

  Just go on windows,

  Now, for some unknown reason, he wants to ask me a username and password. I know how to change my password, but I don't know how to reset my username. I have not used the username for so long I forgot.

  Hi VanScott7,

  Usually your home screen will tell you the names of users, if you get a welcome screen, press CTRL ALT DEL, try twice on the Welcome screen, it will give you the classic line. Try to login as admin without password and see if you are able to connect.

  If you are already on classic screen, type the user name as administrator with the password empty and see if it works.

  Once loggedin as an administrator, you can navigate to the user and passwords (click on start-> settings-> Control Panel-> users and passwords) to check your real username.

  I hope this helps.

• unknown user may have reset my administrator and password of the user access.

  Woke up at 3:00 to hear the computer by clicking on, running 2 programs, one was Majic Jack the other did not. went to user accounts to search for an unknown user. Remove the user, VRI.net or something like that, but the first google
  He and found to be a developer software any. restarted after 55 keep me informed but wouldn't show it to them. I also changed the Welcome screen options, then after reboot shows my user name, but won't accept my password. Can it be delivered starting CMD line in mode sans-echec? and more importantly, how to prevent this in the future?

  Whenever someone thinks that their computer has been compromised, I suggest you have a local professional come on site to diagnose and repair. Respectfully, a regular user of the end won't know what to look for and how to secure the computer correctly.

  As for your password:

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

  http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

  Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello networktec,

  1. you have access to the files and folders on the Windows partition when you work inside VMWare?

  If the security on the files/folders tab will then a user/group account that has the username inside VMware listed list. This could be the reason that the user name is created. Unknown user can be a part of the Vmware software.

  However, I suggest that you post your question to the VMware community to see if it is the cause of the unknown account:

• unknown user account - S-1-5-21-98 preventing access to the images on an external hard drive

  original title: account unknown user - S-1-5-21-98... PREVENTING ME ACCESS to MY PHOTOS on external hard drive

  Im having problems accessing copy, editing and viewing my photos on my drive external hard .it says I don't have permissions to access the file .and the file belongs to an unknown user account. How can I have access to these files?

  I think that this resulted that I changed my operating system from windows home basic/vista (not sure what operating system) Windows 7 ultimate.

  Please help me, its been two years im trying to solve this problem.

  Here is the link to additional photos showing all the problems

  https://www.Facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3381541016883.2168211.1220177281&type=1&l=160799ee13

  IM using HP530, 2g of RAM, windows 7 ultimate, 32 bit

  the external hard drive is a samsung HD103SI, 1 TB model

  I saw the pictures and found that you had to the security of the folder/file. From there, change the owner of your current account. The account unknown S-1-5-21-98... user id internal to the user account that created the file and so you have the permission of that user, which is impossible because even if you create a user account with the same name, the user id cannot be the same.

  Also, as mentioned in one of the boxes of dialogue, appropriating the folder/file and then delete the unknown user account.

  Try the above, if the file/folder is not encrypted/protected.

• Why the unknown user accounts

  What are the unknown user accounts? I want to give them all the permissions on my computer?

  Hello

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  Please confirm where you can see this unknown user account?

  Where is it ask permission?

  What is the exact message you get?

  A user account is a collection of information that tells Windows the files and folders you can access, what changes you can make to your computer, and your personal preferences, such as your desktop background or screen saver. User accounts let you share a computer with several people while having your own files and settings. Each person accesses his user account with a user name and password.

• Unknown user account

  We had problems with our computer, and I was on the phone with Microsoft for 2 hours on 04/06/2013.  She said that if someone had a "password" protect her not access to resolve this type of problem and if I continued to have problems that his supervisor will have to solve the problem.  I saw a user account pop up from time to time and have no idea why or how is added.  The user name was "Unknown account" when I started typing and is now "S-1-5-21-1707336200-2697870300-4147613902-1001" with "special permission".

  When I tried to copy and paste, this is what has been copied.

  \\localhost\C$\@GMT-2013.06.23-11.47.18\Users\Gar-n-Deb

  This all started because even if I was not at home, my husband got a phone call from someone who told him that they were Microsoft and was concerned about the volume of activity, they have seen and could solve the problem, if it was allowed access to the computer and buy software.  He said this looks suspicious and the guy said, I ask only to help you.  Thus, he had access.  The guy had problems with getting their approval on the credit card, but he had already acceded to our computer.  When I got there, I heard my husband say: "well, my wife is home now and I told him look and he hung-up.  We have our phone CASE which is our local supplier and had lost the connection cable, our desktop icons were hidden and I have no idea what else has happened.  Even if one of the owners I have used to work to help me with IT, I'm not at all a computer scientist.  So I called Microsoft and was informed I thought, that Microsoft does not call.

  After my time 2 call with Microsoft, I was monitoring our computer and attempts to change what I thought others prevents access to our computer.  I first noticed that the security of all the icons changed.  I deleted all the icons and then added them back.  After noticing changes more, I then removed remote access.  I don't know how I saw it, but I discovered there where there are 3 home groups.   Now this morning, each file was consulted and specified above user has special permission for everything.

  Maybe I just need to call Microsoft again, but I wanted to at least get this documented.  Please notify.

  Maybe I just need to call Microsoft again, but I wanted to at least get this documented.  Please notify.

  When you give full access by a total stranger on your PC your husband fell for a popular scam. The scammer could easily have installed keystroke logging software. If it was my machine then I would perform a destructive factory restore, if it isn't because I have no desire for an outsider to look over my shoulder when I do my stuff from Internet banking or order via the Internet.

• "Unknown users" listed in properties and safety of a folder

  PROBLEM: "unknown users" are listed in the properties/security of a folder.

  I have Windows 7, 64-bit.

  The properties/security box from my "C:\Users\[my name]" folder lists two known as users
  "Account unknown (S-1-5-21-879640176-2077098734-2292519611-1001).
  and "Home Users", more legitimate users 'SYSTEM', 'Administrators', and
  "[my name]."

  After deleting the computer Acct limited, the 2 users are still listed.

  'S-1-5-21-879640176-2077098734-2292519611-1001' is not found by the Yahoo Search
  Engine. Windows specific engine search folder 'C:' and 'Users' research essentially
  indefinitely. For the folder named after me is nothing.

  Especially regarding'S-... ', this is the result of malware? Would the deletion or the other or both of these

• Share documents via link pages without asking for user name

  Hello, it is possible to share the page via link document without asking user name when someone opens the link? I only want to share the document for reading does not work. So I don't think that it is necessary to request user name.

  Hi erino72,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  I understand you want to share a Pages document with someone, without him asking for request a user name.  Given that you're just trying to share a document for reading instead of calibration, then I recommend that you just send a copy by following the steps in the link below:

• How can I get automatic fill-in of the user name and password?

  It is similar but different from my previous question. On a computer when I open Firefox it opens automatically log me in my homepage (a Yahoo mail account). When I open a new tab in my gmail login happens with my already filled username. All I have to do is click NEXT and it goes to the login with my password information page. I can't get firefox my my other computer to do this. My homepage comes up with my informed user name, but I have to manually go through the login process. When I open gmail in a new tab, I can't do anything except: 1. press ENTER and get an error message, and then click in the user name box, or 2. Re - click the gmail to re - open the tab. Once I did this the page comes with connection two names - the strange correct one and a few. (I've not been able to get rid of the weird name, either). I would like to be able to fix things, so Firefox will do the same thing on this computer as it does on the other.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  A detail as a website to remember you (automatically log you) is stored in a cookie.

  You can use these steps to make a Web site recognize and remember you:

  • Create a cookie 'allow' except to keep these cookies, in particular in the case of secure websites and when the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
  • Tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions

  You can delete cookies for a Web site to make the site forget about you.
