Windows XP does not recognize my passwords
I have windows XP home installed on my PC. Recently, windows froze so I restarted the pc and after the regular windows picture message, I get an error about the lsass.exe file... Sorry I don't have the exact message, but there (000005) in the text.
-tried safe mode and get the same message before I can connect.
-recovery mode I tried, when asked to enter the admin password, windows does not recognize it
-tried net 'user' at the command prompt to change the password, windows does not recognize this command is
-installed windows on another hard drive (D :), created a new user, not asked to create a password when I boot this - version of windows, I am required to enter a password, but none of my passwords for this new user or admin user, or empty, seem to work)
-I is not an option to choose about aid
Is there something I can do to get into windows?
I need to access some personal files before I format and reinstall - last resort
I posted the Question below, but I found the solution to my problem.
I've used 'control userpasswords2' from start - RUN then unchecked the box who says:
"Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
I thought this would prevent user account to request a password.
IN FACT, THIS CAUSED MY PROBLEM.
It might work for XP Pro, but it does not work in XP Home Edition. In the publishing house it still ask for a password or it could give you this message at startup.
"Unable to log on because of an account restriction"
After finally getting back to my account. (I got lucky in after the restart of some). I also had a lot of error messages in the error log (use start-help & - aid) which reads:
"The entry in the hash map cannot be updated. Context: Application, creates catalog Details: a device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001f).
I have no idea what it means.
Anyway,.
"I had to go back and double checked the box to start - run -" control userpassword2 ' for users to enter a user name and password. After that, I went to start - settings control panel, then user accounts. I clicked on each user account under account to change and delete the user password. Now I have to enter a password everytime I log in, or if I change my USER account.
I hope you find this useful and should not lose a day on this problem.
See you soon,.
------------------
I also have windows XP home installed on my PC with 2 user accounts. I use to be able to click on each user account and access my programs. There are about 4-6 months then asked me for a password. This must happen after an MS updated because I haven't changed anything on my PC for years. I could not agree to 'nothing' as password, so I created one and it worked.
After a MS recent update access (last week), whenever I want to a user account, I wonder the password. If it times out at the Welcome screen or I want to change my user account, it asks for my password, but then it says sorry... You forgot your password? I have to restart every time I want to access my accounts or access the second user account.
First of all, why is - what happens when it's never happened before?
Second, how to fix?
I want to connect to a user without password (initial configuration) account
Or I want to connect and stay connected with a password.
I DON'T want to restart my PC whenever I want to use my computer.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
As the title says after using my laptop without any previous problems, suddenly I can not connect on Windows Vista.
I'm 100% sure that the password has not been changed, caps lock, shift, caps lock Num etc is not active.
When I bought the laptop, Vista was already installed, so I don't have a recovery disk.
Any help would be appreciated.

If the above does not fix it:
Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
