I have a toshiba satellite L505 it boots I get the password screen it's blue looks more like bios password it certainly not the windows boot splash screen I have tried a couple of password freebies it won't recognize cd rom, or flash stick...it goes directly to the old blue screen box like if you are resetting you use the f2 f8 f10 f12 key as booting, but that even asks for a password?
my computer wont let me log into my profile, on the windows sign in screen it has my bros profile and other users icon but mine isnt there and if i put in my name and password is always says either my password or name is wrong, i went into the administators account and took off my password and then retried logging in but still no luck, i've never had this problem before but all my college work is on the profile
I am attempting to setup Homegroup for first time on new computer, I was asked to set a password. The first pw was only 7 letters. It was rejected as requiring 8 letters. Attempted to re-enter new password and program states its the wrong password.When I go to the homegroup page there is no link to see and change password.
My laptop has a finger print scanner which I never installed the driver for until now.Basicly the login screen asks for a password, I didn't set a password only my finger print.
I have a new Dell Unit XPS 8300 and when I got it, I had to put in a password in a "boxed" area before I started windows. I since removed the password, and now I want to put it back in a "box". When I boot up, I get "password or name incorrect" then i hit enter, then I can put in my password. I just want a "box" like it was before.
I cant log into Windows 7.Says password is wrong but i know its correct.I dont have a password reset disk.I dont have a backup either.I have files that i want to access.From what i can gather i think i pretty much have to re-install Windows ?
college are messing around with computers and are trying to get his personal one pretty much all on a starcraft theme. We have been getting pretty far, his OS is Windows 7 Build 7600. We want to get it so that if a wrong password is entered, it says "Access Code Denied" in the old starcraft synthesized-like female voice. We have the audio clips, but we need to figure out how to incorporate that sound. It's obviously not in Control Panel -> Sound -> Sounds, as I found out did some intensive googling, and I came to the conclusion that it involves a bit of registry adding and visual basicOn an event like "windows logon" there is a linked .dll filemmres.dll -5853Really it says this, verbatim:[CODE]
I have set up a Windows 7 machine that shares out a hard drive as a network share along with printers to our network. On another computer I was mapping the network drive and accidentally entered the wrong credentials (wrong user name) and choose the remember credentials setting, and it would not let me map the drive.
I tried to go back in and remap the drive again but Windows is remembering the user name/password and I can't map it. I can map the drive from any other computer just fine. Does anyone know how to make Windows forget the credentials so I can map the drive?
When I start my computer I get a bunch of error messages. Multiple things not working. I've seen a few similar issues posted here and I've tried the suggestions but they didn't work. I've tried running maintenance tasks, but they crash in the middle (related to the error messages I think). I also had the problem of whenever I started my computer or opened it, the internet would shut off. My screen would blink off and then on. I've checked for viruses, run multiple anti-spyware, and tried restoring my computer.
I've got a question. I have a computer running windows 7 64 bit, Home Premium.The computer name is "Laptop", verified in Computer -> Properties. I have another computer whose name is "Machine-A". For some weird reason, whenever I do "ping Machine-A" on the command line, it would return pinging from 127.0.0.1 . Why does it think "Machine-A" is the computer name?I did "ipconfig /flushdns", and didn't work.Then I did "ipconfig /flushdns" then "ipconfig /registerdns" and did not fix the problem
since the crash on my computer by trying to get rid of safesearch bar ive managed to get most things working but to log on i have to keep putting my password in to log on and another the@ sign has moved to the number 2 on my keyboardany replys would be gratefull, Nutty norm ps w/7
I have a small home network set up with 4 PCs (1 laptop & 3 desktop). I can see all my computers in my networks but I cannot connect to one of my desktops using my laptop. All the other computers/laptops can read and transfer files without a problem except for the laptop connecting to one of the PCs.
Both the laptop and the PC that is asking for a network password are on the same version of Windows 7 Home. I have file and printer sharing enabled. All are on the same workgroup. I have firewall off and I have turned off password protected sharing yet when I try to connect or print from my laptop to the one PC it asks for a password and I can't figure out why.
This only started recently a week ago. Prior to that never had this problem and shared files/printer without a problem
I forgot the password hint too. what else can I do? can I wipe it clean and start over? how do i do that? its a new laptop so there's nothing on it that has me in fear of the delete button.
I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 home premium. I changed the password a few days ago and changed the computer name yesterday. After restart to get the computer name change to take, I can't login to the computer. I did not setup an admin acct and can't login that way. I tried F8 system repair to reset to factory settings but a password is required. I went to F2 and set a user password on security, but it only works to get into the function keys. I would like suggestions of what to do to get into my laptop. I didn't get a restore disc with the machine, but created a restore on an external hard drive.
I have a kobo that requires a password to set it up I dont know my wep password to allow me to connect to wireless via my router, or even how to find it
A few days ago, I plugged my iphone into my laptop and my computer froze up. I hard booted it and the computer booted up to what looked like the screen that you get when you hard boot it, I went ahead and pressed F1 to resume and what looks like a bios password box comes up asking me for a password. I never put a password on the Bios. So I tried to use my login password and got a password failed message. I tried again and the computer flashed and turned itself off. I turned the computer on again and I get to the Toshiba loading screen where you can select F2 or F12, I select nothing and it brings me to the password window. I pulled the HD and was able to hook it up via serial to my other laptop and save all my stuff.
I'm at a loss of what to do, I have read some of the other posts and one of them suggested I reset the jumpers and replace the battery. I am not familiar with laptops, do they also have bios batteries and where might I find it inside the case?
How do I set up a password to log into the computer? If the computer is on, I don't want the kids to be able to blindly go to the internet. I want to make it so I have to log back in to use the computer.
I am new at Windows 7, how do i set my computer to open without having to put in my password every time?Hubby gets on here too & doesn't want to have to remember
