I don't change my passwords often but figured it was about time to do the rounds and change them. I use the same password on all my computers and when I change one I change them all to the same p/w.Right now I am using Linux distro (Kubuntu) to ask for help here.I find that the change to the admin password on my Win7 drive is not happy with the new password. I went around and did them all at he same time. I can access every other OS on every drive with my new password but Win7 wont let me in. I have 3 of my daughters personal log ins and a guest log in as well as my own on win7 . I am the only admin user on the machine. Long story short, is there a fix for this or do I put a live Linux on the box and remove all my data, photos etc on to another drive and then re-install my win7. The Win7 disc is a genuine, legit paid for copy and other than this difficulty I don't have any problems with it.

However, the endless prompts to change my password are driving me nuts. Here's the message: Your password is going to expire in 'n' days. Would you like to change it now? Generally this defaults to 14 days, and a Windows computer will ask me if I want to change my password - every single time the computer is restarted over the next 14 days. Here's the crazy thing... if I set my password to expire in 90 days, I want to change my password in 90 days, not 76, 77, 78 days... 90 days. At the very least I would appreciate one of those handy "do not ask me again" options, so that I'm not prompted again until the 90 days has passed. This is one of the most-annoying features of Windows, close behind the User Account Control, which asks me if I'm really sure I want to run some program. I mean, after clicking a link, choosing to download the file when prompted, and clicking "Run" in that dialog window (if using IE), I might not be 100% certain I wanted to run the executable, right?
I have an Acer laptop that is less than 4 months old. Did not come with a back up disc. It will not accept the password that was set up. How can I delete or change the password to be able to log on?

All I want is to create a password when I use my laptop (Windows 7 preinstalled, Toshiba Satellite), as I used to do on my XP laptop.I've tried to set a paassword for the Administrator Account but I get the message: ''You are creating a password for ---. If you do this, you will lose all EFS-encrypted files, personal certificates and network resources. To avoid losing data in the future, ask user to make a password reset floppy disk.''I have no idea what this means. Does this mean that I have to make a rest disc before I create a password??I'm the only user of my laptop and don't need to create a user account but I did to see if I can create a password. But I got the same message again for the user account.
I had this OLD password that I had set. During this time I had that password I did use windows' system image utility to backup my old 500GB drive to restore it on a 1TB drive and I did that while I had this password.Now, when I try to change the password it will not save the change. When I change it, I can logout and it will accept the NEW password, but once I reboot or shut down and it comes back up, it only accepts the OLD password.

I've created a password for the guest account. Now I can neither change nor remove it. Logging on as admin I can't find a setting to change or remove guest account's password. Logging on as guest I am getting the "windows cannot change password" warning if I try to change or remove it.On guest account using ctrl+alt+del>"change password", now I get a "access is denied" warning. The whole issue has started with me seeing a warning on Bit defender's Vulnerability module telling that the guest account has no password. I clicked on it and created a password for my guest account from within BD.
I'm working on a Windows 7 laptop for which the user has forgotten the password. So, putting my windows 7 DVD in, I boot into System Recovery and go to a command window. I try to change the user password for "User X" as it displays at login, and the system kindly informs me "User X" doesn't exist.
Using net user, I see that the only two users that exist are "Administrator" and "Guest". So, I activate administrator using "net user administrator /activate:yes". Then I change the password of administrator.
Rebooting into safe mode, I find "User X" and "Guest" still my only options. I try the password I set for administrator (since User X doesn't exist), but that doesn't work.
My wireless network: 1 Computer with ADSL modem and wireless router; The modem is connected in WAN port of router; and the computer is connected in LAN port of router. 1 Notebook with wi-fi receptor. Why a need to change my default login and password in wireless router If:
1 - The connection is encrypted with WPA2-PSK and AES with a very strong password (25 characters including letters, numbers and symbols); 2 - The SSID broadcast is disabled; 3 - The router have a MAC filter for only the my home computers; 4 - I allocated the number exactly of IP numbers to my home computers; 5 - The router Firewall is enabled and all computer of my home network have a good Internet Security (Firewall + Antivirus + Antispyware + Antispam + Antiphishing etc).
Is strictly necessary the change of my router default login and password?
