Windows XP Pro, cannot remember password login
a new computer & put an old man on the Board some time ago. I don't remember the windows xp pro-sign in password. Can I reset it somehow?
Hello
Try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.
Once logged in as administrator, you should be able to change the passwords for any account.

How do I get into Windows XP, don't remember password to open
At his grandchildren here for 9 months, to keep my computer, I put a password on an old PC with XP Home. Now they're gone, but I don't remember the password (it is an old Dell PC that they were antics with) all my pictures are on this old PC and I can't seem to them. The indication of password does not help, it was 'keep out! ' This works of course now that I spent 2 hours trying every available password I've ever used. Can I sign as an administrator or something and change/delete the old password without knowing what it is? How to do that - help, I won't lose all my baby pictures.

Mother cannot remember password for parental control
original title: administrator password - parental controlWe are in a difficult place. My mother cannot rememberher. admin password and parental controls block a bit. I read on a clean reinstall of windows, but I'm not able to download anything because of the controls. To make things worse, we do not find the windows vista installation CD. We were stuck trying to crack this password. Is there something else we can do?
Hello
I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that without assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords
read the policy at the link below
to reinstall vista:
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence

Windows 7 Pro cannot connect to the network when idle too long (large company)
We have approximately 75 users on Windows 7 Professional. About two weeks ago (and the next day, Windows updates have been deployed to all PCs in our outside IT), the vast majority of users (but not all) have started to have a problem in what they can connect first thing in the morning; However, they immediately get an error that are not connected to the network, that network drives can be connected, they cannot access the internet, etc. A reboot solves problems and the problem will not recur until the computer is left idle during the night. Our outside IT says that what is happening on several client sites that they manage, but they have no idea of the cause; they are theorizing that it's maybe a botched Windows Update. I have Windows 7 Pro at home and did not have the problem once. Any suggestions appreciated.
This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN -
Apps de Metro de Windows 8 Pro cannot connect to internet after the first reboot
Hello
I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro x 64 OEM, and I noticed after awhile that my store, Stocks, Weather, News,... cannot connect to the internet more. However, all other applications work.Even more strange, after installing all the updates, I noticed that I can navigate with my IE on the desktop, but not a single party of metro?Long story short, after several relocations (refresh option), I've noticed as a result of behavior:1. during the first start after installation, EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY. I can browse, look at the weather, everything store.2. when I restart the computer and any time after that, is STOP WORKING.Another thing I noticed was that his (SoundBlaster Audigy) card didn't work the first time, but after rebooting, it worked, so I guess something happened after the first reboot?It was a clean install (OEM version) and Windows are activated, and I tried signing in with or without live account (no difference).Help me please, since this is quite irritating :(Hello
I finally found the problem.The invisibility of the active network has pushed me towards the answer.biggest mistake I made was using the option refresh windows, because it was useless for my troubleshooting.By mistake I chose my first install, public internet connection and the course of the updating of the system did not ask see me that.In defining the private connection after clean installation (No refresh, brute force reinstall) makes everything work after reboot and completely solved the problem for me.Why the network does not disappear after reboot? It's something weird, and it shouldn't happen!The resolution of network problems found no problem, because the internet connection worked, but he had no problem with no network also appear or metro apps does not.This should be corrected, as it would be a great help in this scenario.TL; DR: Make sure you set your connection on the private sector, or windows becomes crazy and your metro applications do not work (and I also noticed that visual studio could not deploy projects in this scenario, but that's another story). -

It is lookimg for a path that does not exist.
Sometimes, a problem of uninstalling can be set by the re - download the application setup and uninstall then reinstall.
If you encounter a problem, try to install a new version of iTunes and the installation will not go ahead because it is impossible to uninstall the previous version, use The Windows Installer Cleanup utility or free Revo Uninstaller to remove the remnants of the old version.
What about the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, the link above is a non-Microsoft site because Microsoft says:
While the utility Windows Installer Cleanup fixed some installation issues, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer. For this reason, the tool has been removed from Microsoft Download Center.
If you have imaging/software disk cloning, you use it to make a backup before using either tools above. At the very least, make a registry backup with the restoration of the system or (free) C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT.
