• Windows 8.0 lost administrator password

  I lost the administrator password for my lap top of Windows 8. I tried a number of ways to work around this problem. One of them involved starting in safe mode, but I was unable to get into safe mode (never seen that option). Everything I tried, install programs, and anything that modifies the system asked the administrator password. I was able to install updates for windows, but not able to upgrade to windows 8.1. In my view, the passwords are, but that's all, I discovered. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

• Need to enter the administrator password before I can download the software upgrade

  I found I need to install an upgrade of the software, but cannot do without an ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD ... which I don't have (or I had not one when I implemented that stand-alone pc, or I forgot whether I don't have an administrator password to use).

  Can someone tell me how to find what it is, how to change it, or how to make my normal "logon" Administrator status (without having to set an administrator password, because that's the problem I have).

  I tried various methods, but everyone tells me that I need the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD and so I'm stuck.

  I've seen a lot of suggestions for the windows password (which I guess is different for the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD), because none of the suggestions for this work without an administrator password.

  Hello Jules.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

  1. is the issue specific to the installation of software updates?
  2. what troubleshooting have you done when you say, 'I have tried different methods?

  Thank you for details on the question and your efforts to resolve.

  This problem may occur either if the user account control settings can not correct because of where it stops installation or there is a problem with the registry keys that control the installation of a program.

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:
  Run this Microsoft fixit and check.
  Reference:
  The problems that the programs cannot be installed or uninstalled
  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

  If this does not help, use method 2.

  Method 2:
  Disable user account control and then try to install the software updates.
  Reference:
  Disable UAC in Windows 8
  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hyperyash/archive/2012/07/18/disabling-user-account-control-in-Windows-8.aspx

  Important notes:

  Control (UAC) user account can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

  Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• HP Pavilion 17 e040us - administrative passwords (Windows 8/HP)

  I'm a little confused on the administrative passwords.

  I went to my "manage accounts" and he said my name, the type of account I (they is more than one type of account, and if so, that should appear here), listed as "Administrator" and the password protected for Windows 8.  The password that I created to "lock screen" also the password for Adminstator?  I don't remember being asked a password "Administrator"?  I also created a password and have the code for my Microsoft account security.

  Also is there such a thing as administrator account for my HP computer?

  Thank you and "Happy Valentines Day" for those who celebrate it.

  I forgot, what is a BIOS password?

  JoseysGirl,

  I do not know which ensures your Internet service; I think that you can open a browser and log as desired.

  The main reason for the creation of an additional administrative account on your computer is to give access to your computer, in case your hair into account principal for some reason any and you cannot connect to the computer.  You can always set an account - or, in most cases, retrieve data from account - IF you have a way to enter into the computer in the first place.  The extra account gives you an additional door - like through the garage to your home by using a spare key - you are still in the House, and now you can watch for that other key.

  In general the following is true:

  • E-mail services have a method to keep in a safe place in the servers that are used to provide a Web login page to your e-mail.
  • E-mail providers perform backups of emails sent to their servers for each user who has an account and who receives the e-mail to this account.

  Possible EXCEPTIONS / Exclusions to the Email backups:

  • E-mail messages that are moved to the trash
  • Emails that are placed in the Spam folder
  • Emails that are "skipped" or forwarded to another account - this depends on if the "leave on server" option.  Thunderbird email is an example of a 'pop' email client - the user has the option or the other copy of local Thunderbird email account (on your computer) OR moving the e-mail server to your Thunderbird account.  If you do not understand what this means, you probably not use e-mail client software, and you can skip the verbiage.

  Electronic mail services providers provide an access point for Web page for the e-mail that is addressed to your account.  In other words, you can open a browser, go to the provider's Web page, sign in to your account with the right user name and password by email, and open your email.

  Suppliers of the example:

  Comcast

  Google Mail

  Yahoo Mail

  Microsoft Live account:

  Extract from the account registration page:

  You can use any email address as username for your new Microsoft account, including their Outlook.com, Yahoo! or Gmail addresses. If already connected you on Windows PC, Tablet, phone, Xbox Live, Outlook.com or OneDrive, use this account to connect.

  As a general rule, you can connect to your e-mail account of your computer, since your tablet, maybe from your smartphone, your friend's computer.  You must have access to a "login page" for the email provider, you must have your user name and you know your password.

• Windows XP - Home Edition: what is the administrator password? Or how to find / change (OS is OEM - only have not disk) _

  Windows XP - Home Edition - SP3.
  Is there a way to know what administrator account password?

  Standard mode:

  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.

  WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

• Can't access BIOS laptop Windows XP Pro system, because it is secured by an unknown administrator password.

  I bought a laptop Compaq Presario X 1000 Goodwill Industries. It has Windows XP Pro installed and is secured by an unknown administrator password. When I try to access the system BIOS at startup, it calls the administrator password and denies access. How can I remove this password for the BIOS settings? Everything I've tried so far has failed. Please notify.

  If you're at it, you could open the laptop and find the BIOS battery - I think that if you remove for about 15 minutes, and that should reset the BIOS.

  Hello. My sister got a laptop for Thanksgiving ' 09 and that she had abandoned for at least a year. Very recently, she tried to start, but she forgot her password. The user is the only user on the computer. I tried pressing F8 and go to repair or networking safe mode. I can't find another method that may work. She was getting upset because she thought she would never be able to use his cell phone again. The laptop is not a CD player, so I can't use a disk repair or a Windows 7 boot disk. She has not defined a thing of recovery password that can be used by a drive/flash drive. She really needs help and I want to help my sister, but our only option is to post here and wait for a response (may take several days) or go to our local computer store and we hope to get it fixed. Thank you for reading this and I hope you can help.

  Hello

  Because it doesn't have a DVD drive, there a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall the operating system to how you bought 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.

  HPs are normally press F11 at startup to start the process of relocation.

• 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!
