Windows 7 password problem: does not recognize password after waking from sleep

So I have recently buy a netbook with Windows 7 operating system. I create the administrator account and password protect. All right, install software, copy documents, etc. in the "My Documents" folder and happily use the machine for a few days with no problems. Then work off the battery voltage, put the PC in sleep for some time. When I try and log back in after the awakening of the PC, it does not recognize the password. Try with cap locks, off and all the rest, but not luck. I must finally remove the battery and restart. Sign in as normal (the password is recognized) and go in the user administrator account to disable the password, but then again, the current password is not recognized and I am not allowed to make changes. However, I can still close and log on by using the current password. Confused. Anyine have any ideas?

There is no need to remove the battery or pull the taken when force a PC to stop. By pressing the power button for about ten seconds will do the trick.

Your password problem: you might be dealing with a foreign keyboard problem. Make the password to something that is independent of the keyboard configuration, for example 123456.

To reset the administrator password, follow these steps:
1. click on start.
2. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
3. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
4. click on "run as Administrator".
5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
net localgroup administrators
(This will show you the accounts that have administrative privileges. What is?)
NET user administrator 123456
(This will set the password to 123456)

  • Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD

    Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD, I used until last month. Device Manager sees it, he sees the USB controller (it lists as a mass storage device), but I can't access the information on the hard disk, or make use of the last backup. I tried to uninstall USB drives - it is not the thing. It gets listed under disk drives.

    Thanks for the reply.

    There was no error message: the device has been recognized (listed) by the USB controller and the Device Manager, but not by the management of the disks - so I couldn't access.

    I managed to fix the problem after:

    -J' scanned the computer (DELL Inspiron) with the Safety Scanner
    -J' completely uninstalled all the software associated with an external hard drive
    -J' uninstalled the USB controllers
    -reboot the system
    -reconnected the external HD
    -After gaining access to the drive, I installed the dedicated software

    Best regards

    Windows XP Movie Maker does not recognize my camera Canon HF R10.  Canon is also not listed as a brand for the digital display when I connect the device to the computer.

    =========================================
    Movie Maker has been designed to download from mini-DV cameras
    connected with FireWire... (they record at small cassettes... not
    flash drives)

    The best would be to download the video files in a folder on your
    hard drive... convert the WMV movie format and then import
    in Movie Maker.

    If you connect the camera via a cable USB and go to... My computer...
    It should be recognized as a drive. If it's... you can download it from
    there by copy and paste or drag and drop.

    Good luck...

  • Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

    I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

    My laptop is a Qosmio F60

    This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
    According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

    Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
    What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

    Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

  • My HP Pavilion dv5 Windows 7 Home Premium does NOT recognize my sd card

    I need help! My computer does not recognize my sd card, or my sd card to my micro sd card adapter. I'm starting to think is housing, given that the sd card is recognized on my cell phone.

    Hello

    Check their documentation online with the HP Support and drivers, diagnostics and ask to their
    Forums about known problems. If it's the USB adapter, it can be removed/disabled in BIOS

    and/or Device Manager and a used external is not that expensive.

  • Windows 7 starter edition does not recognize HP LaserJet 1536 dnf printer

    I use the Acer Aspire one 521 netbook with pre-installed windows 7 starter (it was bought with Win 7 starter). I have the HP LaserJet 1536dnf printer. I install, it worked well, but every time that I unplug the usb cable from my netbook and plug it in again, windows does not recognize the printer (but oddly enough, regognizes the scanner). So is it possible that I should not install/uninstall the printer each time I plug/unplug the printer?

  • After you have installed the Windows updates, my computer does not recognize that there is a disc in the DVD - ROM thing

    I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
    I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:

    E:\ application not found

    So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.

    IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.

    So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.

    Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.

    SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.

    I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.

    I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.

    Help, please.

    I spent so much money on these games, and I love them! I don't have the money to buy a new computer.

  • Windows 8 Photo Gallery does not recognize images library

    I just removed the folder my pictures from the picture library and put again; I'm guessing that the reindexing did the trick.

    Although a little concerned why this happens in the first place. I have absolutely nothing: he worked 2 (*) days, then no new program installed, not even new photos imported, maybe some updates for Windows and kaboom.

  • Windows XP Home edition does not recognize new HDD on the Qosmio G20

    I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
    For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

    Do you have any idea how to fix?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Computers portable Japanese are unknown to me, but if this laptop comes with two hard drives and RAID option do not forget the good option is set in the BIOS. Without the right BIOS setting you will not be able to install the OS.

    On Qosmio G30, I was able to install Vista when for two HDD HARD drive settings were 0-RAID-1. Check it please and let us know.
