Jun 29, 2012
I have a toshiba satellite laptop and i forgot the hdd password, as soon as i turn my laptop on it prompts me for the password and for the life of me I cant remember it,please help.
Friend of mine runs a small farm supply business, he had three reps, he now has two. The third bought his own laptop on company credit card (allowed) it's a Toshiba Satellite L640. He handed it back in on his last day (unwillingly) friend tried to start it up and goes straight to a black screen with blue password box, can't F2 or F12 just goes straight to password, can't boot off CD. Former employee won't answer phone calls and not sure he would provide it anyway.
i inherited a laptop with window seven home edition and i cant access it because it has a password.The person who sent it to me unfortunately i cant reach him and i need to use it.Please help how i can access it.
My windows 7 laptop will not remember the wifi password for my home wifi connection. If I leave my house and then come back, I need to input the network password again. Why is this? My computer remembers other wifi connection passwords.
I have Windows 7 32-bit(official RTM, clean install) only 1 account on it which of course is Admin.Sometimes when I press the Windows button + l to lock the screen and come back after a few minutes, enter the password but Windows 7 reports it as wrong password all the time. I have had the same password for 3 years so I know for sure I entered it correctly all in lower case. Also, if I deliberately try to enter a wrong password when my normal one doesn't work, I get the white round circle indicating that its being processed. Then after like 3 minutes, Windows 7 reports it as being the wrong password (the correct behavior from Windows 7 would have been to reject the the wrong password immediately).So I have to do a manual shutdown as it's the option left. I have tried to reinstall Windows 7 many times but this problem just keeps happening randomly.
I changed my password,I had my computer set so I wouldn't have to use it when I logged in. Somehow, I changed a setting , which now requires my password, but can't remember it. So now it's stuck on on the password stage, so I can't get into it to change settings.
I have 5 different computers running windows 7. I am having a problem with 2 of these computers. Every time I start up the computer or restart it, I have to select my connection and enter my security key. I set it up to automatically connect, but every time the computer starts or restarts, the saved wireless connection information is gone and I have to re-enter it every time.
My computer suddendly stopped being able to remember my MyMSN password, and I must re-submit my login information every time I log into the MSN site (which I use as my homepage).
is there a downside to responding "yes" when signing into a website when asked "do you want this site to remember your password"? These are sites I go to often and it would be nice to not have to look up a password each time but if it isn't secure then looking it up is fine.
I cannot remember a password I had set on Windows 7. The user is set to have administrative privileges. How can I reset the password without losing any data. When testing on another machine, i went into local users and groups, right click and it gives me the option to reset password, but a message comes up to say that i might lose information if I reset the password this way:(
How do I go about restoring my password with not losing any indormation and setting?
I have win 7 ultimate 64bit and a while ago i tampered with file encryption and was dumb enough not to back up my encryption key. However, i remember my password that i used to encrypt those files. I formatted C: and re-installed Win7, just to notice i can't access some of my important files on another drive.So, i thought several possibilities of recovery, and i appreciate if you guys could express if any of the options below are viable.
1) Since i didn't back up my encryption key, where is the original one located? (if i use some recovery program to restore it)
2) Can i use recovery programs to restore pre-format a) user account, or b) encryption key, or c) windows (which actually then works)?
3) I remember the password i used to encrypt the files, so can i just make a new encryption key and kind of import it to my present windows to decrypt those files?
4) Does "Advanced EFS Data Recovery" or some other encryption key recovery tool work for my problem?
So I got my NAS set up with SAMBA sharing with my password so no one else in the local area should be able to access it. The problem is that I do not have a password on my computer and windows 7 is constantly trying to login to the network share with the username and no password on each boot. I have to manually enter my username and password each time I boot and the "remember the password" checkbox doesn't work.One solution is to have a VBScript remove the network share and readd it using the username and password on each boot, but I wonder if there is a more elegant way of doing it than that?

I can't remember my administrator's password and I can't change it or reset it because there is no security questions. What can I do to access the administrator. It is protected.
I rebooted my labtop everything came back ok but the webcam application that normally is under utilities i went to toshiba website installed their so called application but it's not doing anything, what can i do to get it back.
I don't remember my administrator user password. I can't change it without knowing the original password. How do I find out what my password is? I use an eikon biometric fingerprint device. I've run into this problem because I cannot backup my notebook on my external hard drive. So, I use my network to copy all files from the notebook to my desktop. Then I backup the desktop to the external hard drive (USP). When the transfer is complete the desktop asks for the password on my notebook and I don't know it. Therefore I'm not sure that the files I have transferred from the notebook are being backed up on the desktop. Again, all I need to know is how to find out what my notebook user (administrator) password is.
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, originally installed with Vista and Win-7 capable (manufacturer site checked), but currently installed with Ubuntu. My installation gets stuck on expanding files - it goes no further than 0% and then throws up error 0x80070017. clean the main partition (not the 100MB one created by the CD) with the Clean ALL command on the X: drive. Karlsnooks, I see that you have the same laptop.
Back when Windows 7 came out, I shelled out the ~$700 to convert all the computers in my house to Windows 7. Ever since then I've had a friend considering buying Windows 7.He recently took the plunge an invested in a copy of Ultimate (64-bit). I backed up his personal data, formatted and Installed a clean copy of Windows 7. On first boot I ran Windows Update (his hardware was all supported by Windows) and did the required restart. During the restart, the computer Blue-Screened, restarts automatically, entered startup repair the second time, "fixes it", and the cycle starts again.So I figure "Okay, one of the updates is bad." I reformat and reinstall again, and the computer first-boots normally again. Just to test I restart the computer and the bsod/repair cycle starts again.I finally gave up for the time being and just reinstall Vista 64-bit on their again and it works fine. His is the only computer I've had this happen to, and I've installed 7 on about 12 other computers so far.
I have a new toshiba satellite p870 that came with windows 8 and I would like to install windows 7 on its second hard drive for compatibility reasons. Every time I try to boot from the windows 7 setup disc it gets stuck on the "starting windows" logo screen and will not proceed. I have tried both booting from the disc and doing a custom install from inside windows 8 with the same result. It was necessary to disable secure boot in the bios in order to get the disc to begin to boot. This computer has 2 hard drives and I am attempting to install windows 7 to a partition on the second drive (the main drive had an error about GPT). I am using a windows 7 professional disc received from microsoft a few years ago to avoid burning a new disc. I have set up dual boot on several other computers but this one is different, Is there anything I can do to get this to work?
