Windows login password not recognized

Original title: sign the password not recognized.  Similar problems are are produced.

Already happened.  Tried to sing in password rejected.  It's the same thing and I him have not changed for a long time.

Log on to another administrator user account and change your password to something that you will remember. Then search for malicious software because these things do not happen by themselves. Or think about who else has access to your computer and may have changed your password without your knowledge.

If you have another administrative user (see Configuring user recommended at the end of this post) and then you have to activate the built-in Administrator, and then change the password of your user account. All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

If you have a Windows 7 DVD installation (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

[Note: do not enter the brackets!]

Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

If you do not have a Windows 7 installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair the system Windows 7 (not a system recovery!) in the menu diagnosis. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable DVD of Windows 7 repair of the file on this link:

http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2009/Windows-7-system-repair-discs/

Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. If you create the bootable DVD in an older operating system (XP, Vista), you will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data. Windows 7 can burn the .isos natively.

Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

Exit the command prompt.

General recommendations for creating users in Windows 7:

You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges in Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • Password not recognized for the new Gmail account

    My gmail account ID / password is not recognized by Thunderbird. It worked, but somehow it has suddenly stopped working (not able to receive or send emails and just make an hourglass whenever I select any folder in the account).

    Some other details:

    . I use Thunderbird 38 (could the upgrade caused the problem?).
    . I tried to remove and re-add the account. It connects fine, but does not recognize the username/password.
    . I did some Google 2-step of checking is turned off.
    . I deleted the Google Contacts.
    . I checked that access for less secure applications is disabled in Google (even though I believe that Thunderbird 38 should not require this).

    I followed all the steps I find Google search, including the https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmailsite. Nothing seems to help.

    I'm up a Creek. I like Thunderbird (use it for multiple e-mail accounts), but hair pulling try that it works - and it takes too long. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

  • 8.1 Windows password not recognized after updates

    After you have installed the Windows 8.1 updates a lot on my new computer, my password does not work more.  Given that I have not yet created a Microsoft account, I can't use this path to get it back. What should I do?

    I discovered what caused this problem.  I bought a laptop with the Swiss German keyboard.  However, I use the English version of the operating system and applications.  As one of the first steps after I activated my new laptop HP Envy, I downloaded and installed all the updates of security to Windows 8.1.  These updates changed PC settings for the keyboard, in particular, to the English keyboard.  In addition to the special characters for the German language, the letters Z and there are reversed on the Swiss German keyboard.  My password included the letter Z, which, after updates, was awarded to another key, namely that of Y.  When I typed Y instead of Z, the system unlocked and I could see then in detail how the settings have been changed.  This is unacceptable!  Also, my old laptop, ThinkPad T series, has a Swiss German keyboard and running the English version of Windows XP.  In six years, I have been using this system, I've never known such a problem!  I hope I won't have to change my settings back after each Windows 8.1 update!

  • "master password" not recognized, it is not send me an email, if I reset my master password - it will remove all my passwords on my computer or just mazilla?

    I tried several times and it does not recognize my master password. In fact, I had a similar problem with the usual password before going with the master.
    If I reset the 'master' password, I need to know that it will not erase all of my passwords where I use them as ebay, Apple, or emails. I don't want to be locked off sites or the loose them on this computer.
    When you say that it removes all, do you mean just the ones that I entered for firefox? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WILL REMOVE ALL? from my computer?

    CAUTION: Resetting your master password will remove all of your saved usernames and passwords.

       In the Firefox location bar, enter the following location:
   chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul
   Press Return.
   The "Reset Master Password" page will appear. Click the Reset button, to reset your master password.

       reset master pw fx29

    Yes, resetting the master password or removing signons3.txt will remove all the password stored in the password manager.

  • Windows 7 is not recognized on my laptop satellite

    My windows 7 is no longer recognized by my laptop and the button at the bottom of my laptop has been rubbed by far.

    Is it possible to fix this or am I required to pay for a new key?

    Most Toshiba laptops comes with the operating system preinstalled, with the so-called recovery image. This recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tolls and public services and some additional software. This version of the OS is activated and should not be enabled at all.

    The sticker product key belongs to this recovery image and cannot be used for any other OS activation.
    I put t know which version you use, but if you use the version installed with original installation disk Microsoft this product key is useless.

    If you have created recovery disk using this drive and install original and already active Win7 version. If you want to keep the preinstalled OS you must purchase a valid OS license.
