View 7 RepliesSitting here in class and our professor was telling us admin it disabled by default in Vista/Windows 7 now for security reasons. I mentioned you can access it from a command prompt based program that comes in a bootable iso format you burn on disc.
I can not for the life of me remember what the name of that program was but a couple years ago I was working on a Win Vista system that got a virus that locked out the user by changing the user account passwords.
We Googled, found this program you burn on a CD and it brings up a menu that will allow you to reset the user account password, or log into the admin account.
I forgot my passwood. And I lost my reset disc when I moved

View 10 Replies View RelatedI had to reset my computer to factory settings a while back. I've done nothing to it except download advanced system optimizer and windows antivirus. This was a miracle alone due to the fact that my Computer locks up for extensive periods of time and will barely ever finish a task; such as transferring a picture to USB drive, scan, or any click command. It has never done this before the reset.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a toshiba satellite L750 running Windows 7 home premium, when trying to burn anything onto a blank disc I get as far as selecting my items and asking it to burn but it keeps telling me to insert a blank disc (which obviously I have). I have tried several different types of blank disc but it dosnt seem to recognise any of them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have an bit of an odd and I think unique problem (as many searches came up with no solutions). Simply put, my boot manager is missing, but only when my windows install disc is not in the disc drive. It started several months ago and I just left it be, let the disc it int he disc drive and it was not that big of a deal. But just did a clean install couple days ago I re-installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my computer (using an upgrade disc if that makes a difference).I formatted the drive with what I guess is a quick format (the option the install disc gives you). I have tried doing a repair with the install disc but no problems are found every time I try.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I booted up my computer, it said 'Please wait.. Configuring your desktop'.And when it loaded up, everything on the computer was reset. Fortunately, after looking everywhere, I found everything (My documents, pictures, music, videos, etc). But if I go to the start menu, and click on a program, instead of opening it, it starts installing it. On the pics, as you can see, there were some programs on the desktop. But when I clicked on it, it started installing it. Also, as you can see, the Documents, Pictures, Music folder has been reset.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo it seems like windows 7 corrupted the password I set for the admin account because it did not work. Probably because I set the password then set it up to do automatic login using the 'control userpasswords2' command. So now i am using a vista password cracker but it can't seem to find the registry? It states it is in winnt/system32/config but when i type that in, it does not find it. is the registrysam file in a different location? If so can someone please list it here?

I was running flexi-sign 8.1 on my windows 7 pc. Somehow one of my employees messed up the system and now I can't open it anymore. I think the problem is because the software only runs on 32 bit and my system is 64 bit. I know there is a work around, I just don't know what it is.

Supprise me the system can boot form the Drive ...... (In Device Manager .... I see two WD 1TB HD instead of one 1TB RAID Drive) But when I use Disk Manager it takes really long time to run... I can't wait for that long and shut down) On My computer I only see one HD with 4 Partitation ...
I restart the system and Goto the BIOS to reset back to RAID...and it give error..
I but the W7 Ultimate Boot disk to repair but no success.. Try to load the Backup Image .... cannot find it...

But nowadays... the New MB set Default AS AHCI...then I encounter this issue.... Lucky ... we just testing the new system now..

I am running Windows 7 x 32b
Recently, and all of a sudden, ALL of the folders on our system , regardless of whether system or data, have been set to read only.I have data only on drive d: and on an external NAS SL3620-2S-LB2 network drive. This data, both personal and work accumulated over many years, amounts to 25,168 folders totalling some 498Gb. I came across the seriousness of the problem when starting to re-order the data. I found that I was unable to delete any folders, with or without data.
I can create a folder, I can add data, but I can't delete. Its there forever.I have tried all the usual things, plus many that have been mentioned in various forums. I have tried the command prompt method on a single test folder without success.I do not fancy going through that for each individual folder - I doubt I'll live that long.I have also tried 'Unlocker' and 'LockHunter', without any programs running, and they find no locks on data folders.I can understand Sytem Folders and files being protected, it makes perfect sense,but ALL FOLDERS?What is the point? How can anybody administer their data with blanket security like this, if that is the Microsift excuse?
Is there an easy way to reset the admin user account password on windows 7 home premium, or a way to recover the files from that account
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed COD 2 on my new computer, running windows 7 premium 64 bit. It worked fine. When I exited I had problems launching my google chrome and explorer 7 browser. They stayed small or shot off screen during launch. I don't know how to reverse what I did to get the game to work so I ended up having to reinstall windows 7 which was a mistake since it wiped out my files and I know there is a better way.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhat is the easiest way to remove/reset windows password, what i mean in easiet no long methods
my os is: windows xp, windows 7
I just bought the new components for my PC. They are;
- Asrock H61M-VS mainboard
- Intel i5 2500 CPU
- 2x4GB Transcend 1333
- WD Blue 750 GB HDD
- WD Green 1TB HDD
- Thermaltake TR2 RX 450W PSU
- Palit GT440 1GB
- LG IPS235V monitor
So, this is how it went.
1) I carefully installed all the components, made sure everything is in order, cables, fans, slots...connected the graphics card to monitor via DVI. Turned on the PC just to see if it all works - no signal. Bad start. Plugged out the DVI cable, took the D-Sub cable from the graphics card to monitor. Turned the PC on again - no signal. Then I've plugged the onboard D-Sub to my monitor and - finally some pictures. BIOS (UEFI) utility showed up, I checked the temperatures, saw everything was in order.
2) Then I've set the disk modes to AHCI, corrected the boot order (HDD #1 first, USB DVD second, HDD #2 off), plugged in the USB DVD drive, put the Windows 7 Ultimate disk, and started the installation procedure. Opted for the x64 version, made a 50GB partition just for the Windows, chose all the settings, typed the computer name and adjusted the date & time...then the installation showed "Preparing Your Desktop"...so I kept watching the nice blue background and waited...after 15 seconds, it flashed the desktop with all the icons and then - automatically showed "Logging Off" and "Shutting Down". After few seconds, the PC kept showing POST screen for a second, then nothing...and it looped. It went into some weird restart loop.
3) I repeated the process again, making sure I didn't make any mistakes. Installation got thru, "Preparing Your Desktop"....10 seconds after the glimpse of Windows desktop and the sudden "Logging Off" and "Shutting Down" screens. And the reboot loop again.
Tried to shut off the PC and turn it back on - it just kept rebooting around the POST screen.
4) Unplugged the second memory module and disconnected the backup HDD, leaving the PC with just one 4fGB module and one HDD. Tried the installation again. Same results.
5) Took the old XP SP2 disk, changed the disk modes to IDE, installed the XP SP2. Everything seemed to work normal.
6) Put the graphics card CD and tried to install the drivers, because I didnt want to work with the integrated graphics. NVidia installer alerted me that "there is no such hardware in your configuration". Checked the HW Monitor program, it displayed CPU, HDD and Mobo temps, but not the GPU temps. Checked the Device Manager under Display Adapter - only Intel graphics shown.
7) Took out the graphics card from the PC and tried to install Windows 7 again. Installation went thru and then the regular Preparing Your Desktop / Logging Off / POST screen reset loop.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a reset disk. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I lost my administrator password, only one administrator account. I cannot find any button anywhere on the Welcome screen that I can click to 'reset password'. I cannot do it from the (limited) other user on the computer. I downloaded an Appliction called resetwindowspassword-set from 'download.cnet.com' and I cannot open the download because I do not have the administrator password.
