I have recently shut down the computer.  I have it turned on and came to the log on screen and entered my password (which I've had for several years) the system tells me that the password is invalid.  I don't have the disk password during installation that calls the system.

And this is the Information from Microsoft on the problems of passwords;

You will need to borrow a Microsoft DVD from a friend, Recovery DVD a manufacturer without these special work options available.

If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
  • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
  • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
  • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

Malware can also cause problems with passwords:

  • my task manager on windows vista family premium does not show the tabs before and used to work properly.

    my task manager on windows vista family premium does not show the tabs it used to, when I used to open the Task Manager it would be things like 'process' 'services' 'preformance' ect. in the tabs. but now when I open it it shows just a window that has two columns, one labeled task, and other labeled status. It shows what im running, but there any options at all as the winger treat ect. the window is not even an exit or minimize the icon as other windows are in the upper right. the only way to close it alt f4 do - what I do?

I have a screenshot of the new manager of task here: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k621/a_bakedpotato/vistataskmanagerisue.jpg

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    It depends on what caused the problem. The system could have hardware problems and need
    repair. I would like to have a competent computer store look at the. And get the disc would be a
    good idea.

    a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a BestBuy or other BigBox stores) or your

    It's a normal reaction after replacing the hardware that you have replaced.

    The hard drive with the installed operating system contains the old motherboard drivers, etc..

    They must be replaced with the new motherboard, drivers etc.

  • Windows vista family premium will not update

    Hi, I currently have a problem trying to update windows. I have windows vista Home premium sp2 and today Update icon just says that windows cannot check the updates. If I select "check for updates", the system seems to be verified but nothing happens. I have been round in circles on the shooters of microsoft problems and also tried ms 'fix' and a system restore obsolete MS essentials, which is not updated. I scanned my laptop with essentials and malware bytes without any display problem and there is no error codes displayed when I try to update. I'd appreciate any help, thanks...

    Type of race or cmd, try: services.msc services.msc in msc, scroll down to the windows installer, double click it, the value

    "auto-start" start service, closed, next scroll to the update of windows, do the same thing, closed when thru.

    More edit youre/firewall exceptions, allow the browser youre using internet, change for others, as well as change

    Hello

    You are able to access the menu start pressing F8 as soon as the initial POST ends and before Windows starts to load? If so, try the last known good configuration.

  • Windows Vista - default printer does not have a default

    From: Freddie Kang

    I have implemented several printers and have an assigned as the "default" printer network printer I noticed that this status of 'default' for this printer does not remain so after I stop and restart. It seems to default to the fax printer. I then have to reset the printer selected as 'default' to be able to print. This not happens whenever I stop - sometimes, the default printer is as default.

    Someone at - it similar experiences? Solution to the problem?

    Thank you.

    Best regards, S.F. Kang

    From: Cari (MS - MVP)

    It will default to the first he concluded after opening session, so in your case, I think the connection to the network is taken longer, that so he finds the fax first.

    These questions - and especially a BSOD - aren't very good signs of a healthy system / machine. Recently installed a few new applications or something else?

  • Dell Dimension E521 Windows Vista Home Premium does not start

    My machine is more initializing. Nothing appears on the video monitor!

    The lights at the front (1, 2, 3, 4, and sighted business disc for HD and DVD players) flash as if it is starting.

    I put in the DVD Dell to reinstall Vista, without any difference.

    Any suggestions?


  • Product key Windows vista family premium is not valid for activation?

    OK, thanks for that. You want to mean by clean install, format the drive, then install again installation dvd or tell you since the recovery disk that is created as a separate on my laptop drive. And, if I clean install on my laptop, it will ask to enter the product key during installation?

    Both the Dell recovery disk and partition recovery integrated automatically reformat the hard drive and return the machine to its original state of delivery (at least in theory) - should all have integrated the manufacturer key and requires no key when installing, please write. The integrated partition is probably the best to use in a first time - this is the fastest and less hassle.

    Remember to backup ALL your data to external storage first, as with will wipe away the C: partition and can erase any other partition on the hard drive as well.

    The system is designed for scoped him key to the manufacturer, given three things

    (1) the appropriate key

    (2) the right table SLIC in BIOS

    (3) certificates/licenses well integrated in the software.

    -in your case this system is broken somehow, perhaps following an attack of malware, or a faulty program or "accidental damage" of the software. The key and SLIC table is still OK, but somewhere the ability of the operating system to properly access licenses collapsed - either licenses are missing (unlikely) or the registry has been damaged so that the OS is looking in the wrong place, the wrong information or (or looking at all!).

  • Pavilion 20 all in one pc: my HP Pavilion windows desktop 20 8 does not have the recovery disk

    I bought this recovery disk awhile back and it never worked to find the computer. You can here the disc is spinning inside but nothing apears on the screen. I did a hard drive test and everything came back by the way. I tried to enter my UEFI firmware settings to reset the BIOS, but I click on the option each time it gives me just a blue screen with the 0xc000000f erorr code so I can't even their.

    So it seems that the recovery partition is corrupt and the recovery disc you, where ever you got was defective or not bootable data.

    You will need to order HP recovery discs, if they are available.
