I have been running my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 system for over a year now with no problem. When I tried starting my system today I had this strange problem. I have 2 Admin accounts and one Std. user account set up. I usually use one of the Admin accounts I will call Admin-1. When I entered my password this morning to log in I get an "Invalid Password" message so I try all the normal things - is caps on, scroll, etc. I am sure I am typing it in correctly so I try logging in with the backup Admin account - Admin-2. I also get an Invalid Password error even though I KNOW I am putting in the correct PW. Finally I go in with the Std User account which does NOT have ANY password on it (luckily). Once in I go to User Management in the Control Panel and I get prompted for an Admin account and PW. I use Admin-1 account and the password which WORKS. I reset the PW on Admin-2 to a new password but when I try to switch users to the Admin-2 account I still get Invalid Password. Next I remove the password for the Admin-2 account then I am able to switch over to that account. I try changing the password on Admin-1 but when I try logging in I still get Invalid Password.
I do not want to remove the password on my primary Admin-1 account due to the warning message I get when doing so to the effect that I will lose all saved passwords and other goodies.One other thing worth mentioning is that when the PC was last on my virus scanner found and 'treated' a slew or trojan/viruses in my temp Web directory. It looked like everything was honkey dory when I logged off. I also did another scan from the Admin-2 account this morning and nothing was found.
i forgot my windows 7 password and never created a recovery disk didnt know u had to well until it was to late and my hint isnt helping me what was the point of hints when they dont remind u anyway how can i get into windows to reset or system restore without a recovery disk?
Windows is remembering my passwords for the most part, however I had one place that I had entered the incorrect password and now it (Windows) will not remember that password. What do I need to do to get it to remember the password again?
i have been using a pc with win 7 for a while, but its going to be used by people. its not my pc and i probably dont have an admin account, but a user account.i have set some passwords with autofill at some websites, with chrome, IE, firefox and opera. i have no idea which websites i visited, but i want to erase all passwords. also if possible i want to erase the personalized settings such as profiles and such, so preferably i want to remove all traces that i have been working on that pc.
I have bough an second hand dell latitude e5510 from a tourist to my country.The dell security manager have blocked the system.I asked him for the password he told me that it was of his son.
my parents have a secured wifi network, i have used the WPS feature on my winows 7 computer to access it, now all i want is to find where my computer store the password and credentils when t connected via WPS, so i can access the network on my Imac
I want to have separate profiles setup in Win 7 64 where by: Shows one login/user when the system locks and depending upon the password provided. system opens the appropriate, linked profile. Have searched forums, Google, etc...and have come up with nothing. If this is a piece of software or a Windows 7 I'll do whatever is required. Think about this if you're a programmer!!! I travel frequently and sometimes need the ball and chain to reboot the system or do something on the local machine but I don't need her snooping (things aren't so great at home). I already use LogMeIn and it works great but I believe in Belt and Suspenders. With something like this, you could give someone "your password" and not have to worry because it is a FRONT account.
How do you configure windows so it does not constantly delete your passwords which you enter. It gets rather madning when you log into a site you use constantly and even though the "save" button is clicked you end up putting in the information the next time you boot up the computer. Also is there any way to turn off the security pop up box which always is asking do you want to view information from such and such site on sites you have logged into and use constantly.
i have two hard drives on my computer both with windows 7 professional installed, now my main hard has gone on the blink and wont load up unless in safe mode, due to this i just hit f12 and swapped drive but i can not remember my password to log on and i am the only user with admin rights on the second hard drive, in saying this i can log on as a normal user, also i can log in my first drive as a admin user and search the second hard drive.my question is can i access a file to change my password as the admin user or make the user i can log on with into an administrator.
I recently upgraded to IE 9, however due to compatibility with some web programs for work I had to roll back to IE 8. I also encountered a profile issue and I lost all my saved username and passwords in IE. My IE 8 is now not asking to save usernames and passwords and it had in the past. I have searched the internet and everyone says make sure it is set up to remember username and passwords... by going to Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete> Settings. I have all the boxed checked. I have triple checked it. I looked in the IntelliForms in the registry as another website suggested and nothing is there.
I log onto a site using IE9 (for some reason this particular site doesn't work properly on other browsers) and it kept remembering my username and password. I went into the internet options and changed the the autocomplete setting to not remember passwords or data added in forms, as well as for cookies. I also deleted the browsing history for those fields (pwd, form data, cookies, history). The browser still remembers the info however, and auto logs me in.
First of all I do have the "Remember passwords for sites" checked. I was able to get it to remember a few PWs when I first got the computer but now FF won't have a popup asking if I want to remember the PWs. What can be causing this?
Is there any way to Auto save passwords for sites in IE without having to click the remember button? Like, is there a way to configure my IE to just autommatically save user/pass info for every site that I log into? I have yet been able to figure this out, and I have accounts for tons of sites and never remember to click the "remember" button and constantly have to reset my pass, which makes it even harder. If there was a way to auto save, so when I go to a site, I can look it up in a password protected folder.
Many websites that I used to be able to "click" on are now asking for name/email and password. What happened and how do I fix that. I went to Internet Options/tools and the link to content (user names and passwords is checked) and still have the same problem.
I have IE9 running in Windows 7 Ultimate.As it is a private computer I always check "Remember Me" when I log into forums etc. (including this one). But it keeps on forgetting and I often have to log in manually - at my age I can't instantly remember login detailsIs this a common issue, and how can I overcome it? It did not seem to happen (at least nowhere near as often) with Ie8 in WinXP.
So my pc gets used a lot by other people and i have files that i don't want them to go through and ive been wondering how can you put a password on a certain folder ? i used to hide folders but i found it annoying , so does anyone know how to do it or a certain program that will help me . e.g i click on a folder and it gives me a pop up asking for a password to proceed?
I'm having here is that my user accounts have sort of switched themselves. To clarify, my Administrator account had a password, my other user account did not. I woke up to find that the Administrator account no longer had a password, and the user account was now passworded with the administrator's! Now I can assure you that nobody is playing a practical joke, because I am the ONLY person who knows the Administrator password, therefore there is no way anyone else could set that exact password for the user account.
I have saved several passwords in Windows 7 (specifically: passwords for webdav drives and a SharePoint site which I connect to using SharePoint Workspace and Outlook's calendar). Now every time I want to use these services an authentication prompt pops up, already filled in with the correct information. Isn't there a way to completely automate this, without me having to verify every time, i.e. can't Windows just use the saved credentials without bringing up that annoying authentication
My personal account is setup as admin by default but prefer to set it with user rights.Before I do that I would like to create an Admin account to cover admin issues when needed.When the admin user account is created it only shows one field for entering the new password and no 2nd field to confirm and verify the new password.The new account creation fails with an unable to confirm the password error message.I'm new to w7 and not sure what might be done or tried.
Once in a while I go to web pages that have password sections for which IE won't ask if I want to save the information. I have checked to make sure that it is set to ask for passwords. It doesn't seem to recognize that I am adding passwords into a field.I consistently have this problem with my bank and on the login for my job. Is this some problem with the way the web page is written
Starting yesterday, most of my sites that require a password (e.g. bank, mutual fund, credit card) would not accept the passwords. A couple would not allow me to change to a new password, even after I was sent temporary passwords to use to do that. I had to call the sites to have them try, and it took several tries by Support to change the password. Windows 7; Malwarebytes (paid version)and Avira Premium scan daily.
I created a new account for myself and made it an admin account. I then removed the admin priviliges in my sisters account. Somehow now both are standard user accounts and anything i try to do is blocked by an admin password.
Noone has ever entered a password for the admin accounts so i have no idea what this could be. It is not giving me a hint or any help at all. I would rather not have to reboot the whole thing as it's very time consuming.
