• Windows Vista, administrator password, does not

  I had the windows administrator password since I bought my laptop about a week, there is the password no longer works, (no one has changed the password). Finger printer reader, my impression, finger reads me the green check mark, and then displays the incorrect user name or password. Dell has no help nor Microsoft, called the two, both passes the question to the other. I have many family photos and some documents I want to turn off my computer, I can't get them because of the password, I bought a case that Dell said to do, it does not fit my hard drive. Can someone tell me how to bypass my password so that I can get at my photos or what I can do to at least get my photos in the admin account that is displayed in my full name. I tried to type in the command prompt, and nothing works, please any help, I would be so grateful... Dell and Microsoft told me, there's a way to get around, but they cannot help doing it on my own computer.

  Hello

  Donna I don't know how the fingerprint reader interacts with the opening of session if it is an assumption. This method
  works on systems without the reader of fingerprints and perhaps on your system when used in conjunction with
  your fingerprint reader. Hope it's useful.

  If this is not enough you are no worse off as you are now.

  Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
  then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
  Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
  wish.

  Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
  repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

  DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

• Windows 7 Administrator password change problem

  I have Windows 7 Home premium installed. Recently, strange thing happens on the local administrator account. When I change the admin password, it is accepted and when I log off and try to connect again, the new password does not work. He returned to the former.

  Can I use an another user account with administrator right to change the administrator password, it works once with the new password. After I logout of the administrator account and try to connect again, he returned again to the old password.

  Any help please.

  I am referring to the 'Local Administrator' or "built-in Administrator" account, deleting, so it is not possible.

  I tried using another admin account to change it, as stated in my previous post, it worked only once. After that, I have to use the old password to connect!

  In Windows 7, all admin level accounts have the same privileges. If the built-in Administrator account is corrupted, then you can use any other admin account.

  Is it was my machine then I ran this test:

  1 log in under an administrator account.
  2. click on the start planet.
  3. type cmd.exe in the search box.
  4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  5. click on "run as Administrator".
  6. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
  NET user administrator 123456

  (to change the password)

  NET user Administrator

  (see when the password was changed)

  7 restart, and then run the command net user Administrator again and check the date again.

• Administrator password recovery - HELP!

  I am running Vista on a new Compaq Presario desktop computer that was good for me a little less than a year before. I recently changed my password the only admin account (I have the privacy of my teenage years on some things) on the computer, and now I don't remember what it is! I do not write it down because my kids have found in the past and I don't have a password recovery disk (I didn't know that there was such a thing).

• I forgot my windows XP administrator password and the returned solutions "access denied."

  I tried all of the following without success.

  Since your account invited > start > run Type "cmd".

  Once command prompt opens type

  NET user comments / add an administrator

  Press enter

  It works on computers pretty much all that I tried, it elevates the guest account to Administrator status, where you are free to edit and change things, that you must change.

  OR

  Since your account invited > start > run Type "cmd".

  Once command prompt opens type

  NET user administrator (or the name of your administrator account) *.

  Press enter

  You will now be able to enter a password for this account. Confirm the password and Voila! You should now be able to log on to your account with the password that you set.

  OR

  System startup and when you see the home screen, press ctrl + alt + delete twice and it'll show a connection box. Now type administrator username and leave empty Pword. Now, press Enter and you should be able to open a session.

  Now you can reset your password from the control panel and user accounts.

  OR

  Enter SafeMode to restart the computer and press f8 repeatedly until a screen somes up which gives you a few options, use the arrow keys to the forts of the 'start windows in safe mode' when you start windows in safe mode, you will see a new account on the login screen, titled administrator , click on it, there is no password (unless you have changed it).

• Acer Aspire V5 - 122P: Windows 8 Local password recovery or boot from USB

  Hello world

  Really need help. I fear that I will lose all my data on my hard disk to get my computer working again.

  I don't know how, but somehow the password to logon Windows 8 was changed. I can't do anything even if I'm in the advanced recovery options.

  I created a USB key to book my V5 Aspire 122P, but I cannot book from the USB key.

  I have not created a password reset disk in advance.

  I chose the option to rest my pc while keeping my data, but windows 8 still asks for the password and does not accept the password that has always worked for me.

  Really scared... If I lose all my data.

  Well want to can someone help?

  Abrar

  I got myself to solve my problem. It would be very useful for someone else, which is why the announcement of the update:

  1. first click on the SIFT-restart, I went advanced options and refreshed my pc while keeping my data.

  2. This allowed me somehow, in advanced options, I could go to the command prompt without system asking me the password I forgot.

  3. once I was in the command prompt, I followed the following steps:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Windows-8/a/reset-password-Windows-8.htm

  4. I was able to reset my user password.

  5. I had to go through installing windows again - not a big problem

  6. all my programs have been removed. I had to reinstall them for example MS Office, Cisco VPN Client, Skype, Chrome

  7. my data were available under the user name

  8. deleted data has been placed in the windows.old directory I was able to easily backup.

  So - Thank you God Almight - life is beautiful again.

  It will be useful.

• error after I did the administrator password recovery disk

  I forgot the password of administrator, made the recovery disc, after the new password twice and add the indicator, click Next, an error occurs and cannot continue

  A password reset disk must be the last password reset disk that was created prior to this account on this PC & this OS.

  It is possible that you get an error because you use the password that has been done for another account reset disk or because the password reset disk that you use is not the last being made for this account [new reset disk of password that make you disabled all previous password reset disks].
