  • Windows XP does not recognize my passwords

    I have windows XP home installed on my PC.  Recently, windows froze so I restarted the pc and after the regular windows picture message, I get an error about the lsass.exe file... Sorry I don't have the exact message, but there (000005) in the text.
    -tried safe mode and get the same message before I can connect.
    -recovery mode I tried, when asked to enter the admin password, windows does not recognize it
    -tried net 'user' at the command prompt to change the password, windows does not recognize this command is
    -installed windows on another hard drive (D :), created a new user, not asked to create a password when I boot this - version of windows, I am required to enter a password, but none of my passwords for this new user or admin user, or empty, seem to work)
    -I is not an option to choose about aid
    Is there something I can do to get into windows?
    I need to access some personal files before I format and reinstall - last resort

    I posted the Question below, but I found the solution to my problem.

    I've used 'control userpasswords2' from start - RUN then unchecked the box who says:

    "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."

    I thought this would prevent user account to request a password.

    IN FACT, THIS CAUSED MY PROBLEM.

    It might work for XP Pro, but it does not work in XP Home Edition. In the publishing house it still ask for a password or it could give you this message at startup.

    "Unable to log on because of an account restriction"

    After finally getting back to my account. (I got lucky in after the restart of some).  I also had a lot of error messages in the error log (use start-help & - aid) which reads:

    "The entry in the hash map cannot be updated. Context: Application, creates catalog Details: a device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001f).

    I have no idea what it means.

    Anyway,.

    "I had to go back and double checked the box to start - run -" control userpassword2 ' for users to enter a user name and password.  After that, I went to start - settings control panel, then user accounts. I clicked on each user account under account to change and delete the user password.  Now I have to enter a password everytime I log in, or if I change my USER account.

    I hope you find this useful and should not lose a day on this problem.

    See you soon,.

    ------------------

    I also have windows XP home installed on my PC with 2 user accounts. I use to be able to click on each user account and access my programs. There are about 4-6 months then asked me for a password. This must happen after an MS updated because I haven't changed anything on my PC for years.  I could not agree to 'nothing' as password, so I created one and it worked.

    After a MS recent update access (last week), whenever I want to a user account, I wonder the password. If it times out at the Welcome screen or I want to change my user account, it asks for my password, but then it says sorry... You forgot your password?  I have to restart every time I want to access my accounts or access the second user account.

    First of all, why is - what happens when it's never happened before?

    Second, how to fix?

    I want to connect to a user without password (initial configuration) account

    Or I want to connect and stay connected with a password.

    I DON'T want to restart my PC whenever I want to use my computer.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Error: One of the USB devices attached to this system has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.

    tried already everything written here. When I plug my USB device (3 of them) my Windows a sad of the USB devices attached to this system has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. I tried plugging it into another winXP machine, it won't work. Can you help me?

    Original title: usb malfunction

    His salvation,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried so far?
    2. If it works much earlier? If so, did you do changes on the computer before this problem?
    3. What type of USB device you are using?

    As you mentioned that the USB device does not work when plugged into a WinXP machine, it may be a problem with the device itself. In addition, the question may also arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows.

    Therefore, I suggest you try the following methods (skip the ones that you already tried) and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.

    If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.

    Method 2:

    Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    If the problem persists, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.

    1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
    2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
    3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
    4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
    5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
    6. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

    More information: Update a hardware driver that is not working properly

    If the device fails after updating the driver, you can try to roll back the driver with its previous version.

    Restore a driver with its previous version

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA5A Windows does not recognize ethernet controller

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with a PSAA5A-01H00T A100 running Win XP sp2.
    Windows does not recognize an ethernet controller, so the wireless NETWORK card does not work, even if the wired connection is.
    I tried to install the latest WLAN drivers on the support site (two of them), does not. Windows insists that the correct drivers are not installed.

    I suspect a hardware problem and I have the user on an external wireless NETWORK card, but I would appreciate any idea that you guys can provide.

    Thank you.

    Hi mate

    What Ethernet controller is not recognized? WLan or LAN?
    You have a few unknown devices in Device Manager?
    If so, then a critical driver is missing, and so the controller is not recognized correctly.

    You n t know what LAN or Wlan chip you have and what driver is needed?

  • Why am I suddenly "USB not recognized, one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize"

    Hi all. If anyone out there in Cyber Land can solve this problem for me so I've personally you will issue an eight-pack of ice-cold beer (or a bottle of wine for the ladies lol)...

    I'll try not to waffle too guys, so here's...

    Right my PC running Windows XP. I also have itunes installed on my PC (I have an iphone 4). Upward until yesterday my iphone and itunes were working well, (once I plugged my iphone in the itunes USB port recognised that my iphone was plugged and synchronization was fine etc.).

    But now when I plug my iphone to PC to sync with itunes, I get a pop up box on the lower right part of the screen that reads... "USB not recognized one of the USB devices has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize."

    After visiting about 5 different sites now "Ways to solve this problem", believe it or not, I still have the problem bloody! :(

    A site proposed shutdown PC and unplug it from the power supply, then plug it back start-up and back... this as did not work!
    The other they say that I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs then restart... it did not work either.
    Tried a system restore
    Tried to reinstall itunes

    When I check the names USB in Device Manager, there is one who reads unknown device. I am literally pulling what's left of my hair now. I tried to solve this problem for almost 2 days now and still no joy. That's why no matter what input you guys would be very appreciated. I'm no PC Wizard, so please, don't think you're patronizing me if you break down things step by step for me.

    Thank you comrades, cordially, Freddy frustrated. :)

    Another said I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs and restart.

    Usually, this works... but can be very dangerous, unless you have a PS/2 keyboard.

    I also assume that you have tried all other USB ports on the computer. tried a verified USB device (for example, a flash drive) in the USB usually when you plug in your iPhone. and I tried your iPhone in another computer (I know it's rare for an error message Windows really means what he says, but sometimes the material lacks).

    Is the charge of the iPhone when it is connected to the USB port (I don't think)?  This happened to me recently, but a reboot fixed it.  I guess that that happened to you.

    I guess that you don't see the error messages in Device Manager or you must declare them.

    You can uninstall all USB devices that do not exist as follows:

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Enter the following command and press enter

    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    • Start the Device Manager by typing the following in the same command prompt window

    devmgmt.msc

    • In Device Manager, click the view menu and select "Show hidden devices".
    • You should see a category just after "Non-Plug and Play drivers" named "other devices."  Chances are that there will be a big exclamation yellow mark beside it.  When you expand the "other devices" you should see several non identified "USB devices."  Uninstall all this.
    • Reboot (with the iPhone NOT connected).
