Windows password recovery disk

I just created my windows password recovery disk in a usb flash drive. A file was generated "userkey.psw". What happens if I save the file somewhere safe and remove the file in the flash player. Later, it will work if I have forgotten my windows password?

Help, please...

Yes, you can do what you want.  The important thing to remember is that you must place the userkey.psw back in the folder root of any external hard drive in order to to use.  You can move back in position using another computer if necessary.  Where keep you so far is entirely to you.

Consider writing the password in a safe place instead.  A disc of rest password does not reach anything other than writing that can get the password down.

  • When windows asks me to isnert a password recovery disk, it does not offer the possibility to create one in the D drive, where I have a DVD. Why?

    I have a new Dell XPS with Windows 7 Home computer. I want to create a password recovery disk. I have (1) check my CD/DVD drive works (2), I watched the video on how to create a password reset disk (3) I did the procedure successfully in the past on other computers (4) I rebooted the computer after having difficulty finding the opportunity to insert a disk in drive D, the name of the drive for my DVD / CD player. What is the problem?

    The problem is that when I am asked to insert a disc in the player I'd give myself a choice is not drive D, the name of the drive to my CD/DVD drive.
    So over and over again once I wonder to insert the disc. I also have one of these drives you can put 4 holders memory size different from the type used in cameras and I have a DVD player, it is called D drive.  Why I'm not given the option to use drive D when I'm given a choice I can insert a disc so that the password recovery disk can be created?

    Change the assignment of drive letter for the dvd player to one letter other than.

    1. sign the computer as an administrator.

    2. Insert a disk in the removable drive.

    3. type computer management in the start search box and press ENTER.

    4. click on disk management.

    5 right-click the partition, logical drive or volume that you want to change and then clickchange drive letter and paths.

    6. click on the removable drive, click it, clickchange, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then clickOK.

  • Windows 7 recovery disks are corrupt

    Let me start by saying, the advice of HP have no help and I take the blame at their feet.  Hard drive of my laptop HP G71 is eventually died.  When I bought the laptop, it came installed with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.  I followed the instructions during the installation and created a set of recovery disks.  I was only allowed to make ONE set.  I backed up my data religiously.  When the hard drive is dead, I bought a new used my recovery disks in the Recovery Manager about 30 times.  Each disc would go for about 20 minutes, and then I would ask for the next record.  In the end, remove screen said all the disks and reboot to the recovery to continue the restoration of the system.  After the restart, message "no boot device", then reinserted first recovery disc and it began all over again.  The people of HP forum said my a set of disks has been altered.  Now I ask people, how to get back my FULL windows 7?  I guess all computers with pre-installed software should come with the drives, but they are no longer.  Furthermore, I'll send this to my G71 using a repair/reinstall dvd that I bought on ebay.  Repair/reinstallation asked my microsoft product key that I got off the sticker on the bottom of my G71 and repair/reinstall it over.  It has worked very well, but it is a watered-down version of Home premium extremely rich, that I used to have, and more this morning for the first time, I received a message that says "the key to Windows 7 Home Premium is not valid for activation".  I want to just my old windows 7 back.

  • Can Tecra M9 - I upgrade the RAM and get a Windows 7 recovery disk?

    Hello!

    I want to know if it is possible to upgrade my Tecra M9 about RAM - memory? I think that I now have 2 GB.
    I also need to know if Toshiba sells a recovery disk to my computer with Windows 7, or do I have to buy a Windows 7 disc and serch for drivers on my own if I want to have the new operating system?
    My language on the portable computer setting is Swedish.

    Cordially Mikael

    Hello!

    I also put t know how much RAM have been mounted, but I checked the Tecra M9 user manual and it can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This means that you need two modules with specification of SO-DIMM DDR2 200pin for upgrade. In the user manual, you can find some information about it.

    On the issue of Windows 7, I think that Toshiba will not release a Windows 7 recovery disc because this model isn't Windows 7 supported:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/KBA9A02PX0000R01.htm

    You can install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc but you will have to collect the drivers on different websites or other, you use the Vista drivers.

It is not possible to boot into safe mode. (Same problem). I searched the net for a concludes but only found that I have to reinstall windows (Vista Home premeum). My problem is that I Don t equipped of a Medea. The PC came with windows pre-installed, and there was no partition of medea or recovery disk recovery.

    Is it possible to buy DVDs that will work with the OEM installation (in Danish) license, or I can get a toshiba restore disk or?

    Please help me out here.

    Hey,.

    Normally, you need to create this recovery disc yourself using pre-installed recovery disc creator, but I think that now it s too late because Windows doesn't start anymore.

    But you can order the CD here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    If you can t order it, ask an authorized service provider. Alternative use a normal disc of Microsoft and the drivers of Toshiba page.

  • Satellite A505-S69803 - buy a Windows 7 recovery disk?

    Hello

    I think about the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite A505-S69803 and I was wondering if it is possible to buy the Toshiba Recovery discs and if so how?

    Hello

    Why are you asking this?
    If you buy a laptop you can create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Therefore, you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. It creates a disk with a picture to factory settings (version of the OS preinstalled).

    If your laptop comes with Windows 7, you can create such a floppy.

  • Windows 8 - recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive

    My HDD had major errors of io only 1 month laptop warranty. I can't clone the original disc, its dead. I'm relatively new to Win8 but I bought the factory HP recovery disks for my model and have tried repeatedly to restore the OS win8 without success even after support technical advice ofHP and several friends with more experience than me (and I got an A + cert for more than a decade)-I have no idea why he keeps fails. I ordered another set of discs and tried another new hard drive. The log shows all the hardware in the way and a sysprep not found error at the end. What Miss me?

    Problem solved! After another half-dozen recovery more attempts and lose more money on a new HP certified hard drive with the correct part number, I decided to give up Windows 8 and turn this laptop in a Hackintosh, I now on Mac OS X!  Microsoft has gone too far now, only not with the security of windows, instead of trying to make sure they get every penny they can from each PC running windows. His self defeat really. Those who cannot or do not want to pay the cost will simply find an alternative. I'm just tired of the headaches and of constantly having to spend my precious time proving that I have a valid OS license for every computer that I've updated or repair. Forcing people to buy the same item several times is aggravating and false. Sorry, just fan frustration.
