Windows 7 accepts any password.

Hello, I have a Sony Vaio with Windows 7, 32 bit Enterprise laptop, I created a password for my personal account and one for the administrator account.

But when I try to connect, I put any character in the password field and Windows 7 accepts it and access my profile correctly.
When I connect with the administrator account, the same thing happens, I put any character and I get access.
Normally, it sends a wrong password error, but no.
When the screen saver is active and shows once again the login screen, I can press on enter only and Windows 7 accepts.
I tried to change the password and I created new users and profiles with new passwords anda happens to be always the same.
There is a great difficulty, anyone can access my personal files. Please help me with a solution.

I have worked with Windows for more years than I care to think about and I never fell on a case like this, not even in the countless forum posts I read, therefore my suspicions regarding a third party agent. I can see these options for you:

  • See if the problem persists when the safe boot mode.
  • See if another respondent resumes the thread, maybe a Microsoft Engineer.
  • Perform a system restore (only works if it is a recent problem)
  • Live with the problem.
  • Perform a factory restore.
  • Give me remote access to your machine. There is a small chance I could see something you missed.

    Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

    I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

    If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

    Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

    Hello

    Go to the top of the Menu Apple left and use the ALT key to access system information.

    Open Hardware > network > locations

    On the right side of list of methods potential connection en0 works as the number for the connection?

    You can also see in the network utility Applications/Utilities

    If you Mac do not have capacity Ethernet number en0 will probably be the Wifi card.

    If missing the number en0 then delete the contents of this folder: -.

    It seems that for a very small number that any bet level and in some cased updates will result in their account (Apple ID) being blocked at the level of the server iMessages.

    The question is based on the use of serial number to provide a specific device connection which in turn means that a device is disconnected.

    The above is the only hint of Apple that they have a lead on why it happens.

    It said that some people always have to contact the Apple Support and get their account to restore the use of their Mac from the Apple ID for the iMessages server only (Apple ID issues are free to set)

  • Windows Vista does not accept my password (unchanged) but I have no recovery disk - Windows is already installed

    Hello

    As the title says after using my laptop without any previous problems, suddenly I can not connect on Windows Vista.

    I'm 100% sure that the password has not been changed, caps lock, shift, caps lock Num etc is not active.

    When I bought the laptop, Vista was already installed, so I don't have a recovery disk.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

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

    This is the Information from Microsoft on the problems of passwords;

    You will need to borrow a Microsoft DVD from a friend, Recovery DVD a manufacturer without these special work options available.

    If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

    Malware can also cause problems with passwords:

    If the above does not fix it:

    Here are the different 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:

    "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.

    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:

  • Windows does not accept my password. What should I do now?

    I turned on my computer. I run Windows 7 on an I5. I don't have the control, alt, DELETE, then password quickly. Instead, I got just the password quickly under the Windows icon. My password was not accepted. I'm distraught. Please someone help me.

    Here you go:
    1. Use your repair Windows CD to start the machine in Repair Mode.
    2. Use system restore to restore Windows to a point where your password has always worked.
    3. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
  • Windows 7 will not accept any ati driver and catalyst control center at the same time.

    I tried a number of ati drivers. My card is a 4870 x 2 2 GB edition. The driver that windows installs will not accept any CCC.

    I did also install CCC and only driver left. I tried to play Everquest 2, first game to install, and it crashes before the charge, gives me an error of ref dx9.

    I'm assuming that windows 7 has the new package dx so I shouldn't have to reinstall that. I downloaded some of them however.

    I'll try a restore and see if it works. If I could go back in time and never bought this o/s I now.

    This is ridiculous.
