I followed an online tutorial to hide my admin account by changing my registry so my mom couldn't get in. I kept myself out also. I tried doing a lot of stuff to retrieve it, but nothing would work because the only account I have left is a guest account, therefore, no admin permissions. One thing I think I can still do, though, is a system restoration point, but somehow, my previous restoration point was deleted. What if, and I'm going out on a limb here, I saved a restoration point off of my friends computer onto a flashdrive and used that for my computer? We have the exact same OS (Windows 7 Premium 64bit). I plan on doing that, then doing a complete system restore back to the factory settings.
yesterday i open my controle panel and i change the password and today when i open the window and he asked me to type password but i foregot my password .
I love outlook, but I need to keep signing back in, even tho I check save password. I need to do this three times before I can send/receive. Seems that using it, everything works fine, but if I do not check mail for about 15 minutes, it automatically signs me off, then I have to sign back in...all my info is always saved, (screen name, password). Any ideas?
I have a desktop machine that is connected to my work domain. Most days it works fine, but after the machine has been sitting idle for a couple days and I can't login. I hit Ctrl Alt Delete, then enter my username and password, but then it takes me back to the Ctrl Alt Delete page without any error messages.I can still access the C drive over the network but I just can't log on. I also tried using Remote Desktop from another machine but had no success.I think it's hardware related, because I have two identical machines and they are both behaving like this. However, all of the drivers have been updated, including the BIOS, and I've got all the latest Windows updates on there too.
At present I have my WIN 7 set to Boot up without a Password. I would now like to change that siuation back to a "Password Required" Boot.
I have tried going into User Accounts >Change Passwords where I get the three boxes "Current Password", "Change Password" and "Confirm New Password" all blank as expected.
Its what happens next that has me puzzled. I tried leaving the "Current Password" blank , entered a new Password into the "Change Password" box and re-entered this into the last Box .
I now get the message " The password you typed is incorrect. Please re-type your new Password"
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.
I accidentally deleted some important files/folders which caused the whole downloaded videos/games get lost in a few minutes,i didnt even notice that it was deleting.I tried system restore but it didnt work,is there any other way to get your systems time back up for 2-3 days back?
i want to creat new user in AD ,but this message appear: password doesn't meet password policy, before i change some policies but now they are not defiend
I recently suffered a trojan virus attach and ultimately have changed my password on my email server.I have tried to reset it to the new password in Windows mail multiple times. It keeps reverting to the old password as the saved password, and I continually have to retype in the new password. I tried resetting the password to nothing, and rebooting, and the old password comes back again.There must be a preference file or an ini file that I can edit. Can I do that without loosing my address book, etc.?
Machine has Windows 7 Ultimate. I recently changed the hard drive. When I went boot, the screen displayed "Enter Password ". This machine has never had a password and I am at a loss as to what is wrong. This machine has previously been running well for over six months. Any HD that I substitute (I've tried four) has the same result.
Untill yesterday my homegroup was working just fine. Two laptops / home premium / windows 7.Now when I try to access it I am prompted for a Network user name and password, the same promt giving details of my domain. This is not my homegroup password, I know where and how to find / use it. I have renamed pc's tried setting up homegroup again etc etc. Incidently I cant change the share options on any of my folders now, they are all locked to 'Nobody'.Can anyone help as it appears to have support from Microsoft for their product I'll have to pay pardon my igronance but if I sold a product with constant updates I wont charge for the support.
I've always thought of networking as one of the black arts.
4 PCs - One Vista, 2 Windows 7 Home Premium, 1 Windows 7 Ultimate. All see each other. All have appropriate folders shared.
Try accessing A from B and I get "Enter Network Password (to connect to B)". I never set one up to start with, so why is it asking me for it. How do I access/change something I never set?
Try accessing B from A - I see the PC, and the folders I want but trying to access them results in "You do not have permissionto access folder names Contact your network administrator - who he? Obviously me but I don't know what the answer is!
Trying similar things with the other two PCs in the mix results in various permutations of the same problem.
I have tried all the various links suggested through Networking and Help, but most of the actions seem to be boxes to click to make the PCs try to sort themselves out. When it fails I can't find a manual way of trying to sort it out.
Any suitable tutorials that may help? Couldn't see any.
When I try to set a password for new account, I always get "password does not meet the password policy requirements" error. Password Policy is disabled, of course.Prime suspect is HP ProtectTools Security Manager but I cannot remove it because uninstall throws Error 1001.My colleague has identical system (hardware + software) with the exception of not using HP ProtectTools (he probably removed it immediatelly after starting up his new system several m of this kind.
I unchecked the box that says users must enter a password to use this computer. I still get a message at every logon that the password or user is wrong. Huh?
Why does Microsoft have to make things so hard? Why can't they simply have a single user option that eliminates all passwords and the complicated director structure that results?
I have read pitting imaging against registry backup which are clouding my choice.
1-Erunt requires that you turn UAC off for ERUNT and not to use it automatically. ERUNT has not been updated since 2005. 2-System restore and Norton = must Norton turn tamper protection off to restore. 3-system restore = do not use safe mode(good back up) but you cannot restore afterwards.
I have 2 questions, assuming the above is true;
1= does registry backup cause more trouble than imaging. 2-Acronis and Macrium are good but is Win 7 back up restore as reliable with 64 bit? It is limited but I am concerned about the reliability as oppsed to the other two.
I have HDD Hitachi 80 gb. before, I intend to re-install the hard drive with windows xp, after page division of the partition appears, I see a dynamic drive with a capacity 765XX Mb with a drive letter listed like this (- so i delete the partition and then I create a partition 30 GB for C: and rest for D: then after installed, my friend told me that in fact there are a lot of data in it that 75% is owned data.
how could I? I still can restore its data with the abstractions of folders and files as before? I've tried Active @ Partition Recovery from boot disk. None outcome. found multiple partitions ... but I can not recover
I try not to lift the partition. then I use File Recovery again ... I just found a Folder is missing the rest are listed! LOST & FOUND! with millions of folders and each folder in it only consists of 2 3 or 1 files uncovered.
i want to back up all other programs & files (music, games, docs, etc), and but not the c:drive system disc, how do i do this using macrium free (or windows back up which ever works best)?
new here and not computer savy. My problem is that I resently loaded windows 7 ultimate 64. I had already back up my files about month earlier using Nero 7. Nero 7 will load but will not restore my back up dvds. Nero 7 did not load properly but did load. Since then I uninstalled Nero 7 and loaded a trial version of Nero 12. It will not restore my back up either. I would love to get all my files back but the main concern is my picture files.
I have been running the preview version of IE 10, and would like to go back to IE 9. Is this possible? If so, how? I can't seem to find an obvious way...
I've probably made a post similar to this, but I don't think I got any answers... I need to know how to back up my current driver installation in order to do a custom install of windows 7. is there a program to download, or what? I need to get this sorted out fast.
