UNLOCKING COMPUTER INDEFINITELY

HOW CAN I UNLOCK MY COMPUTER INDEFINITELY

No need to repeat. It is a forum, not an online help desk.  Response times are usually in hours, not seconds.

A computer is generally 'locked' either in conjunction with a screensaver or sleep mode.  For the screen saver, right click on an empty space on your desktop and select "Properties".  Click the "Screensaver" tab, and uncheck that box "On RESUME, protect by password".

While you are there, click on the 'Power' button in the same window.  Then click on the "Advanced" tab  Uncheck the box "ask for password when the computer wakes from sleep.

I hope that's what you mean by "unlock indefinitely."  You provided no details.

  • can not unlock computer

    There is an icon of padlock by my Start button and all of a sudden it is "locked" and I can't a turn off the computer.  The little light on the front of my bag cell phone is always on.  I have never created a password.

    You have to hold in the power button and turn off the computer. Then see if you can get Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you can, look carefully for virus/malware.

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

    Hello

    This is what Microsoft says about the forgotten passwords.

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    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.

    Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  • question about blocking in Windows 7

    In Windows XP, using the function "lock" does just that and goes into security everyone except administrators.

    However, I just noticed in Windows 7 that the lock screen offers a button for 'switch user' and apparently it takes you to the home screen as if I had chosen "change user" instead of hitting - L.

    Also another limited user has apparently had no problems to connect.

    Is there a reason I can't hit -L and then hit the big button "switch user" to leave quickly me connected with my stuff open when someone else needs to quickly check their e-mail messages, I think its a lot easier to do with my failing that play with the small triangle in the start menu view right next to the easily clicked the button 'stop '.

    I just ask if there is something that I miss, because it works differently than I remember it works under XP, where he did block all users and only someone with admin rights or the same user might unlock.

    Hello

    To use this shortcut, press Windows + L logo. The following list has different computer lock-down scenarios that are available to you, as well as other ways to lock the computer:

    Fast user activated switch

    If the fast user switching feature is enabled and you lock the computer, you can observe the same behavior if you changed users: the computer returns to the Welcome screen and other users can connect to the computer.

    Disabled fast user switching

    If the fast user switching feature is disabled and you lock the computer, the Unlock Computer dialog box is displayed and requires the user to enter a password to unlock the current connected computer.

    Welcome screen enabled

    If the Welcome screen is enabled, the computer can also be locked if you press CTRL + ALT + DELETE (to open Task Manager), and then click lock computer or click switch user in the shut down menu.

    NOTE: the ability to observe "Lock computer" or "Switch user" on the menu stop depends directly on the fast user switching feature is enabled or not.

    Refer to the section 'to turn off fast user (Advanced) change' of this Microsoft article:

    Switch users without logging

    I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

  • HP: unlock OEM windows 7 for use with another computer?

    Hello

    I recently got a HP computer with an OEM windows installation 7. After the machine (fatal hardware failure), I tried to use the windows key to install it on another computer. However, the key is an OEM product and would not activate, so after talking to microsoft they sent me here to ask if the manufacturer could "unlock" the key for use with another computer (that I build from scratch).

    So all this possible? Or do I have to buy a new license?

    Okay, Ive talked to HP and microsoft and it turns out that the key has been blocked (pirates). So much for the purchase of second hand.

    Hello

    You can try the following.

    Shut down the PC.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  If windows will load in this mode, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours prior to the issue of logon and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart as normal in order to check if you can now connect correctly.

    Another option if the above does not help is as follows.

    Shut down the PC.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Start using last good known Configuration" and press ENTER.

  • Strugling to figure out how to unlock a computer

    My predissor has locked the computer when you start it only allows to run the program on the desktop icon.  The taskbar is non-functional. How to unlock it to have total control of the computer again, we run XP Pro SP2

    Looks like you need to do a clean install to get back into your system, since you don't know exactly what makes your predecessor in the registry. They can also have a back door entry and know the passwords on your network.

    I would get out of the advice, then a new installation or your recovery partition data.

  • I bought a used computer and do not know the password to unlock

    I bought a used computer. I don't know the password. The password can be removed and mine used to unlock? The former owner is not available.

    Best to make a/Clean Custom installation of XP. Never can tell what the unwanted (like viruses) may exist.

    (1) Note the make and model of your computer.

    (2) check that the 25-character product key is always fixed to the case or at the bottom of your laptop.

    3) go to the support of the manufacture web site and know what "F" key, you will need to press on when the computer starts, run a reinstallation of XP (or use the recovery media if you have a).

    (4) reinstall XP and create a new user account. Note: If you use the support CD of 'Recover' you will need to re-enter the product key to activate Windows.
