In most cases their computers start up and you can see the different accounts on the computer. Well for me as soon as i turn on my laptop (Toshiba) a black screen pops up that says "enter current password:" After attempting and failing to remember my password the computer just shuts off, it gives me two tries.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron 1545. My brother's friend was messing around with it and somehow put a password on it and I think it's stored on the eeprom chip since I can't get it to boot to the bios, safe mode, or anything at all. I have tried different generic passwords such as Admin but nothing's working. I see the Dell spash screen when it boots but then goes to a gray screen that says this computer is protected by a password authentication system. You cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password. After you try 3xs it shuts down. He says he doesn't know how he did it or what the password is.
I have a friend that has a recovery cd since he has the same laptop, but it won't even boot off of that. I've also tried taking out the CMOS battery for about an hour and it is still wanting the password which makes me believe that the passwords stored on the eeprom chip. Is there anyway to bypass this and fix my computer? I have tried contacting Dell, but get nowhere. They don't understand it will not reformat otherwise I would.
I'm trying to do a system recovery for a friend. She has a gateway computer. I forgot the model. She is in another state so it's very difficult to do over the phone since basically it's like being blindfolded. Her computer is messed up so it looks like recovering using link one is out of the question. So my question is if I have her use the link 2 which requires the disc, how should I have her do the recovery? When it comes time to select what kind of partition to create which do I select? Format partition? She is the kind of person who is not familiar with computers and gets aggrivated pretty easily so I'm trying to do this as easy as possible.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Vista Home Premium on an Acer Laptop and all was fine until I decided to change my user password. I had or have (who knows now at this stage) an Administrator,User and HDD password installed on my machine. I went into my setup and changed my user password from set to clear but left my other passwords at set. when I exited and saved changes and rebooted I could not get back in with any and all passwords. To make things worse I cannot boot from cd either. It goes to press <F2> go to setup , Enter Current Password: ? then Invalad password I have tried the F10, F12, Del, F5, F8 keys and nothing seems to get past that login screen. Does anyone have any inexpensive suggestions on how I can get into this computer, or how I can get to a command prompt. Can I un-solder the internal Battery and then re attach it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI restarted my computer yesterday and when it came back on only guest account was available. My user account and my sons account were gone. I tried starting in safe mode and got "windows could not connect to the sens service. contact admin". I tried restoring my system to two different points 10/17 and 10/19 and neither worked. So now I am on my computer as a guest. I go to C: users and can see my username and my sons but can't open them b/c I am not an admin.
View 8 Replies View RelatedBefore Outlook 2007 (OL2007) & Windows Live Mail (WLM), OL & OLE worked well together for me when I wanted to look at NG posts. OL would use OLE as the NG reader. Then I could respond and out it went through OL. I could choose the NG reader from a pull down or a button. I have NGs I want to view when I'm in OL2007 but I can't add any NG accounts to OL2007-I can't seem to do the same thing as before. I will get email from the NG I frequent in OL2007 and I can't see the series-conversation in the NG without using WLM. I have to use WLM for NG viewing not sending responses.
Unfortunately, both have to be run in tandem with IE and I really don't want to use two email programs and IE. You see I can't send a response from WLM as it is denied by OL2007 and trying to send it through OL2007 doesn't work because it doesn't recognize the NG name as an address (microsoft.public.outlook.installation). Just to send this, I had to go through IE Google Groups to send my questions. Figuring out whether this is an OL2007 issue or WLM issue is not my fort=E9 so I'm sorry for the cross post. Any ideas if it is possible or as to how to fix this? I'd hate to have to disable both programs and find a third party solution. All these weird MS changes makes me want to by a MAC.
I added a new user profile for my son last week. Yesterday, when I tried going back and making his ID an administrator, I could no longer see the ID in the manage accounts box. I can only see the ID in parental controls. Also, I cannot create a new ID and when I try to enable User Account Control (UAC), it doesn't remain on. I tried to do a system restore to a point created last week but that didn't work. Has anyone encountered this issue? Could this be a Vista bug? I have Vista Home Premium.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've Just created a new, second email account, using a different email address with the same username and password my isp gave me when I set up my first one. The problem is how can I see the new accounts emails? I've sent emails to the new account but when I try to access them using "Windows Mail" (I'm running Vista) I get nothing? If I send an email from my first account to my first account it comes through ok!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using vista for years but just now am finding it necessary to make a second use profile.
Im using vista x64 and even after I have made the new account and can see it under "user accounts" in control panel it wont show up on the screen when I press "switch user" or "Log off"
How do i get the second account to show up?
EDIT: I just deleted and recreated the account and its fine now.
I have 17 accounts in Windows Mail. When I first start up WM, and go to retrieve mail,. all accounts work fine. But then any subsequent attempt to retrieve mail, and the process ignores the first two accounts. No errors, no message. It's just listed along with the others, but blank in the status column. And no errors reported either. So then if I exit WM and start over, it works fine again... for that first time. And then it's back to the same problem.
