Hi, Patty.

Have you asked the owner of the computer for the password?

Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/189126

You can try

Start > run box

Type in Control userpasswords2  

Uncheck the option, users must enter a user name and password to use this computer

Click on apply, OK

Do you have a recovery cd/dvd?  You may have to reinstall Windows XP

  • Windows 8 cannot change password

    I can't change the password on Windows 8. I followed the instructions. It is said.

    "Change your password.

    This Service is not available now. "Please try again later".

    I had the same password for my account live and computer laptop.

    What should I do?

    Hi Samir,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, I understand that you can not change your password.

    This could happen due to some system conflicts.

    Try the methods.

    Method 1:

    I suggest that you have to temporarily disable the antivirus security software installed on your computer and check.

    Warning: Antivirus software helps protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software and/or any relevant issue, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks by malicious software.

    Method 2:

    Change your password

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/change-your-password

    You can also directly access your Microsoft account settings, online from any computer and change the password.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know the results. We will be happy to help you further.

  • Windows Mail: Cannot download E-mail: error: 0x800CCC18

    I'm unable to download my email in Windows Mail to my Gmail account, but I can send emails from this account. I was able to do it without any problem until I changed my password and deleted the account and establish a new in Windows Mail. I use POP3 server and get the following error message:

    Account: 'Gmail account', server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR invalid command gs2mb20844665wjc ', Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC18

    Can someone help me with this error? Thank you.

    I am answering my own error report because it may be useful to others. I solved this problem now, but I don't know why it worked today and not yesterday. It is possible, it's because I did not follow the instructions correctly to run wmutil 15.1 that erases a corrupt windows Messaging database. When I ran it first, I did not remove the first e-mail account. This time, I did, I ran the utility and configure the email account again. I had to change several times to get the correct port with a secure connection (SSL) numbers, but then it worked.

  • Windows upgrade - cannot download.

    Upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista. Now unable to download public library. Error Msg: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12. Have uninstalled and reinstalled ADE 2.0.

    The upgrade without doubt confised recording of the ADE.

    ~~~~~

    ADE has sometimes its registration/activation confused and in a semi-autorise State.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this State.

    Unfortunately, he then often misleading gives the error messages about what is wrong.

    A common incorrect message informs that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.

    Another is "E_AUTH_NOT_READY".

    This can often be solved by removing completely any authorization by using ctrl-shift-D to the library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D on Mac).

    Restart the ADE and then reauthorize with your Adobe ID (old)

    In extreme cases on the mac, the next step has helped some people.  Navigate to / Users / / Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you use 10.7, see library user access hidden files. Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1265248?TSTART=0

  • OfficeJet 4300 Series Windows 7 cannot download HP Solution Center

    Hello

    I just bought a new Windows 7 PC and hung my existing officejet 4315 to it. Fine, I can print with the default win7 driver. My concern is that I do not see the ink levels in the printer on this new PC. The CD supplied with the printer is beyond useless. I scoured the site to download the software and driver HP, but I can't find a link to download the solution Center for this printer for Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Anyone know what I can do to show levels of ink on this printer on this OS?

    Hello javster87,

    The driver for your HP product is integrated into Windows 7 and is known as a driver of (in-OS) system operating. With a driver in the OS, you don't have access to the HP Solution Center and failed to check ink levels in HP Toolbox that you can with a complete driver provided by HP.

    As a workaround, you can print a self test report that can show the ink levels (depending on the printer). To print this report on your printer:

    1 load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper in the input tray.
    2. press Setup.
    3. press 2, then press 4 (this selects print the report and then self-assessment report).

    I don't know if this will show the ink level, but it's the only other way to see possibly using this printer on Windows 7.

  • I forgot the password for Windows 7 laptop and password required for all downloads

    No disc reset was created before there is another established user except the guest account, but even with the admin, a user lost password password rights is required for all downloads and updates. Cannot download even a password cracker because it requires a password to complete all downloads. What can I do? It's very frustrating.

    The legal option only when you do not know the password is to copy your files, you have all to CD or another drive for backup, then clear the computer and reinstall Windows.

  • Cannot download. No window click 'don't RUN', 'click here' doesnot work. IE10 Win7 64-bit

    After you click the Green download button I don't get the popup click the "Run". I get a gold at the bottom of my screen: "do you want to open or save Firefox Setup Stub (276ko) 28_0_exe of download - install .mozilla .net .cdn? . Open, save, cancel"do not click Cancel or cause the entire window is frozen. I tried everything, 'Open' asks what I want to use to open the file. 'Save', says cannot save. "Retry", it might save, but double or the other of these gives only of downloaded files by clicking on me the pop-up window to open (using which program) never a button 'run '.

    I deleted the IE cache also before "Download".

    How can I get Firefox. I use Thunderbird with absolutely NO problem.

    Thanks for your help. ;

    Another possibility is to open the Mozilla's FTP site in Windows Explorer and download Firefox set up the file in this way.

    See "how to download Firefox on a new computer without using Internet Explorer":

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test in the case where a security software raises questions.

  • Windows Embedded Compact 7 on the smartbook Sylvania - IE cannot download files

    I have a Sylvania 7 '' Wireless Smartbook WEC7 (http://www.sylvaniacomputers.com/product.php?id_product=45) with the latest firmware, running on Windows Embedded Compact 7.  It is produced by a Chinese company that manufactures several similar models, both with Windows Embedded and Android.

    Internet Explore cannot download files.  It is said "website not found" when I try to download an attachment to email (Gmail, Aol, MS exchange web, etc.), or click on a link that should cause a file download start.

    I think it's at the level of the BONE, because I also installed Opera Mini 5.1 Windows mobile, which works well on the machine, and also, it can not download attachments or files.

    I also have the earlier version of the Sylvania Smartbook running Windows CE 6 (http://www.sylvaniacomputers.com/product.php?id_product=41).    IE and Opera Mini 5.1 work as expected, and download files.

    Anyone has an idea why Windows Embedded Compact 7 on the Sylvania is unable to download files?
