Windows password

I forgot my windows password. What should I do to open a session?

Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator .  You will need to know the password, if any, for this account.  Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account. Boulder computer Maven

  • Re: How to reset / recover forgotten Windows password

    Forgetting your Windows administrator login password.
    With no way to get into the system, you can perform even basic maintenance, and still less a complete tune up.
    Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. (In addition, guess who's going to help to reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?)

    But all hope is not lost.
    There are several ways to recover a password account Windows lost. Read on, and we'll show you the light.

    _1st method: _

    The first thing check you if you forget the password. When we install windows, it automatically creates an account 'Administrator' and affects his empty password. So if you have forgotten your user account password then try this:

    Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / login screen, press ctrl + alt + delete twice and it'll show classic login box. Now type "Administrator" user name (without the quotes) and leave the field blank password. Now, press Enter and you should be able to log on to Windows.

    Now you can reset your password to "user accounts of-> Control Panel.

    Same thing can be done in Mode without failure. In Safe Mode Windows will display this account of administrator in the login screen.

    Method _2th: _

    There are many password crackers and Windows developers.

    This tool only works on NTFS partitions, but it works very well! You can even use it to copy the data from one place to another. But this isn't for free.

    Windows password recovery tool:

  • What Windows password is required when you set up Scan to network folder?

    Product: HP Officejet Pro 8600; OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    I'm doing a Scan to the configuration of the network folder.  It requires a Windows user name and password to access the network folder.  What Windows password I should be entered?  There is a default user name facility.  Should I change this name?  If Yes must be a Windows user name that I already use on the computer?

    This is similar to the post http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board=SpecialInterestsUtilities&message=3111&query.id=101... but I'm not looking for a workaround solution. I'm looking for the right way to avoid the problem.

    When I changed my Windows password in Windows and restarted, the first thing he did was ask me after that I spent my finger. He said that he wanted changed in the security of the client system. I entered the password and it erased, and then connected. After the start, another window pops up asking my Windows password for the security solution client. I entered, but this was rejected. I tried again, rejected. I tried again using any password that I use. All rejected. Maj CapsLock and numlock off the coast.

    Fortunately, I was able to cancel out of it. I changed my password to the original and then restarted. The same claims were held, but he agreed the old passwords. I am in control, but with my original password. Phew!

    Then... What is the correct way to do it? Client security rejects the new password. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    I found a solution in case anyone else comes across this. It may be the best or only one, but it worked...

    (1) disable Security TPM. Do the reset, etc.

    (2) use the control panel Windows users to change your password.

    (3) turn on the TPM secure. Do the reset and the new password asked a couple of times.

    Hi @streetrod2 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your HP ENVY 17 t j000 Notebook and having issues with the software of HP SimplePass.  Thanks for all the information, it is very useful to know what you've already tried. I would say to uninstall HP SimplePass and reinstalled the latest version for Windows 8.1.

    Hope it suits it.

  • Windows password does not work

    Original title: password

    I have not forgotten my windows vista password, but my laptop does not accept it when I type my password, windows does not recognize it.

    I have two questions:

    1. how to connect. Some say that a password recovery tool works, t - it really? What is it?

    2. how to create a password reset disk? I inserted a blank disc, but the computer did not help me. What are the exact steps. ?

    Hey regina,.

    How many accounts user are there in the computer?

    If you have a password reset disk or another account that has administrator rights, you can think to reset the password.

    Here are answers to your questions.

    1. There are many password recovery tools that are available for ecover passwords used to log into Windows. They must work. That's what the software is thought to, no?

    Note: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    2. you create the password reset disk only after logging in to Windows. For instructions, see: create a password reset disk

    Hello

    You need to reinstall the operating system and wipe the hard drive before give you your Dell to someone else to protect your data.

    The data can still be retrieved by others, but it is a deterrent for the most honest people.

  • HP simplepass does not recognize my windows password

    Hello! I have problems with my the finger print scanner.

    I have a HP Pavilion dm4-3107tx Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook PC. He cannot recognize my windows password when I try to save my footprint for windows logon.

    I know that the password that I entered is correct, and I tried to connect to HP SimplePass via my windows password.

    I tried a lot of troubleshooting by following threads in this forum, and also the following instructions from the HP support Web site.

    -i have a BIOS update

    -My SimplePass version is 6.0.100.276 (latest)

    -My biometrics device driver version is 3.4.4.84 (latest)

    Hey @bujawe99 ,

    I see that you are having problems with HP SimplePass doesn't accept is not your Windows password.

    Can you tell me if you use Windows 7 preinstalled, or if you have upgraded to Windows 8 or 8.1?

    I also suggest updating the SimplePass 6.0 software is quite obsolete at this point. You must use at least 8.0.

    You can download a more recent (8.01.11) here: HP SimplePass Identity Protection Software. This download works for all versions of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1.

    Let me know if update allows, and what operating system you are using.
