  • Cannot access the password for administrator on Win7, how can we access this account?

    There are two accounts on this computer. An administrative and standard user.

    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    I can access the standard user account, but I can't change the administrative password because his account not administrative and I do not know the password on the admin account.
    How can I either change the standard user to admin user without having need of the admin password or how can I access the administrator account?
    The admin account is my main account with everything I need.
    His family win7 premium is a desktop computer.
    I, also, don't have Internet. The only internet I have is on my mobile phone with limited data.
    This is why I can't download anything to help.
    Help or knowledge is much appreciated.
    Thank you
    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    Hello

    On holiday, I have a PC running Windows 8.1 and a former under XP (SP3), both connected to a Netgear router for Internet access.

    Under Windows, 8.1, the XP PC appear not at all, even when I search by name.

    The WinXP when I click (down posted by exploring folders) on "Microsoft Windows network", I got an Error Message:

    Impossible to scan the network, you have no network, or the network is not started.

    I've followed all the recommendations for sharing files between Windows 8.1 and XP:

    Same network type: private

    Even working group: PERSONAL

    Different names.

    Option of sharing files on two PCs in network settings.

    Windows 8.1, I chose: encryption 40 or 56-bit.

    I can share folders between your desktop in Windows 7 with Win 8.1 and Windows XP Home.

    File sharing has been possible, in my view, before I've upgraded to SP3 of XP last year.

    I know that Windows XP is not supported, but I need this old PC to display movies on my old TV (S_Video)!

    Thanks for your replies.

    In addition...

    You may translate the error of another language?

    On the XP computer.

    • Click Start, run, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and click OK
    • Scroll down to "Workstation" (probably the last item in the list) and double-click it
    • Make sure the "Startup type" is "automatic".
    • Click on the 'Start' button (if the service has already started, please report this), and then click OK

    Hi my problems started last night when I tried to open my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300 Windows Vista)

    In normal mode starts near the top of the screen loads fine up please wait...
    I left on until this morning that then the screen turned black and nothing was clickable.
    I can't boot mode safe either, as it happens the same thing.
    Sometimes when I try and start it tells me that the C drive has something wrong with it and what are the fixing.
    A warning saying that this file is corrupted and unreadable left me with a scintillating display that fluctuated between black and the background of vista.
    I managed to log on once while my office quickly froze and I had to close my laptop.

    Hello


    Have you tried another recovery option?
     

    I suggest you to press the F8 key as the computer starts up to the top and check the option in the advanced boot menu.
     

    Advanced, including safe mode startup options
     
     

    If you are able to open the advanced boot menu then you can execute the menu command prompt and type the command and check.
     

    Type CHKDSK c:/r or

    Type CHKDSK c:/f
     

    Important: even if running chkdsk on the drive if any bad sectors are found, chkdsk attempts to repair this sector and if all data on this sector it could get lost.
     

    If you are not able to perform the steps then you may need to get the Vista installation DVD. You can contact the manufacturer for more details.

  • Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

    I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

    I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

    I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

    I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

    The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

    Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

    Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

    A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

    There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

    I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

    As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

    I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

    Thank you.

    My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

    Log in as the local administrator or a domain administrator

    If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

    Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

    If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

    Go to AppData\Local

    Select all (Ctrl + a).

    Delete

    * Do not delete credentials (as it will remove their wallpaper) *.

    This allows to release the error.
