Windows 7 Removing Passwords And Profiles?
May 19, 2012
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 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.

i've installed Windows 7 severeral times now.whenever I use the advised install procedure for having the /users store on a secnd disk .....(during Windows 7 install)the profiles get corrupted and I get thrown back to temporary profiles.I detect no other install problem.These systems are multi user systems, so the user space isgetting rather big (unacceptable to be on the system disk)the procedure is straight forward and I can not find any error in the profileList....Clearly I have the SID.BAK profiles every time in the registry ...But however I repair I always get the error back This problem makes windows 7 as a whole unusable (CRAPPY PROFILES)Is there a way to really get rid of this problem .....ps: I run my secondary �SERS disk on: (BRAND NEW INSTALL)-the same physical disk ....... disk latency can not cause the problem -On a different physical disk (other setup/but fails as well)-32 bit 64 bit same problem

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 have just upgraded from Vista where we had two user account profiles on the D partition, as I recall, Vista prompted me to set it up this way initially. I got used to using this method, as my single hdd is divided into two partitions, C for the OS and D for Data. I did a new clean install of Windows 7 into a C partition which is I think 100GB is size, and there is a D partition which is empty and is around 400GB.I have been reading how to move the user profiles to the D drive but it seems too confusing (at least more confusing than in Vista). So I thought about maybe using the library feature if that is what MS has intended it to be used for.But it looks like the C drive would still continue to be used for user data. IF that is so, what I am supposed to fill the D drive with, or how am I to fill itI would like to begin migrating my iTunes back from my external hdd, and want to be sure to put it in the right place, but with at least 45GB of media there alone, the C drive will quickly fill up.

I have windows 7 booting from a ssd drive. I moved the user profile folders to another drive to try to reduce the data files filling up the ssd drive. Well - the drive died. I have all the that backed up on another drive, but I can't start windows because it can't find any of the user profiles.

I had a Vista computer that crashed. It wouldn't start up. Figured I would try to install Windows 7 on top of the Vista installation. I read that a custom installation would save the old contents in and Windows.old folder, including the user profiles. However, after custom installation the windows.old folder is there, but my Vista profile is gone. Probably because it was password protected. I figured I would be able to find it and elevate my privelegies in Win 7, but seems not. It still seems the harddrive is full of my old information(alot of GB's are used). Is there any way to recover the information? I know the old password and all that, just can't find the information. (Also tried to search for exact file and folder names but they cannot be found).

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 use my laptop for general use but also for processor intensive home studio audio recording. Rather than disable wirless, anti-virus software and a bunch of other things that can help me reduce processor drain each and every time I use it for music, I'd love to be able to have a different profile or maybe user account so that when I start up and choose that user/profile, wireless will automatically be disabled, most non-essential software (such as anti virus since I am not online) will not be run, etc.
I created a second user that I intended to use for the music related work. However, when I look at the hidden startup folder associated with either user, I see nothing (I have chosen to view hidden folders and files). If I run msconfig, I see many programs on the startup list. Amongst those are is antivirus software. It appears that when I deselect any program, it will not run regardless of which user I log in as, so it must be some sort of global setting. I still want most programs to run when I log in to use the laptop for general use (e.g. when I surf the web, I want the antivirus software to be active), so making such a global change does not seem to help me.My question is, can I somehow make these programs run only when I log in as a certain user? If not, is there another possible solution that would allow me to achieve the goals described above?Also, is there a way to selectively activate/deactivate wireless depending on which user I log in as?

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 installed SharePoint 2010 on my Windows 7 laptop, and it works fine. But all the services that are installed will always start and use a lot of resources, even when I don't use the application.
It is possible to only start all the involved services (like SQL Server, IIS etc.) when I tell it to or to only have them start when I log on with a special user account?

If I recall, there was a way in windows to setup different boot configurations. I can't remember where/how to do it (did it long long time ago.) What I'm trying to achieve is that I've got two new laptops coming and need to decide which one to keep. So I basically want to use each one for a few days before I decide. I want to take my current SSD in my Thinkpad out and put it the new machines so I have all my apps and settings the same as I'm used too (and no bloatware to deal with.) Typically when I migrate, I do this and then just load the drivers necessary for the different components on the new machine. But I don't want to overwrite my current drive config. So essentially I want three machine profiles, one for current machine and one each for each of the two new machines. Will this work okay?

Firstly I'm unsure if this in the correct category, this is 1/3 XP query, 1/3 Windows 7 and 1/3 Windows server 2008. Apologies if it isn't in the correct one Basically, I'm pretty new to servers, I can do the basics such as setting it up as a file storage server etc but not much more! What I'm trying to do is set up Roaming profiles so that anybody can goto any computer on the network and logon then all of their own files and settings are there rather than it being computer specific, I'd like it pretty much how colleges have it. I've done some reading up on this but I'm very confused, at one point I ended up switching the main admin on the server to a main admin with the path roaming/Administrator and then my head was battered as I could connect to the server but not logon via Remote desktop. I'm being cheeky here but what I pretty much need is a step by step guide on how exactly to setup the server then how to setup each user. I've genuinely tried to research and do this but I can't suss it out and I'm pretty worried about knackering the whole software side of the server up as it's a pretty vital resource in our office

I've switched from Windows Live Mail 2011 to Thunderbird 6.0.1. I've seen two backup plans here for Thunderbird--1) use Mozbackup, and 2) copy the entire Thunderbird folder in the AppData folder. Does anyone have an idea on which method is more reliable, or are both plans equally reliable? I'm way too chicken to test both.

I completed a new build with a 64 GB SSD intended for a fresh install of Win 7. Prior to build, backed up my HDs and completed a W.E.T. save. Two of the HDs are coming with me to the new build (including the partition with my old install of Win 7).During the NEW install of Windows 7 to my SSD, I used Sysprep and audit mode to change the default user and program data location, no issues.
I then started up W.E.T. to transfer my old user profile into the new one - this is where I'm having trouble.The size of the files I want to transfer is too big for the new SSD, and W.E.T. doesn't seem to recognize the fact that my user profiles are NOT located on the SSD, and it won't let me map drives etc, do anything.So, is there a way around this? Or, is the best way to boot the old Windows 7 install, run sysprep/audit to transfer user profiles to the SAME location as I have the profiles for my new install, then boot the new install and see if I can log in as my old self?

I have the home edition. I'm trying to delete a "ZTE Proprietary USB Modem" profile. I've removed the program through device manager and it's gone, but it still shows up when I click on "connect to a network". My adhoc network is also there. How do I get rid of both of them. I'd like to start with a clean slate to get my Ad hoc network going. I've tried the "Manage Wireless Networks" but they don't show up there.

Due to needing to clean C drive and re-install Windows, I backed up just the user profiles to an external hard drive using the Windows 7 utility. I have restored the profiles using the same utility but the profile names and logo's do not appear on the welcome screen. I can see the files and folders in Explorer but I thought that the profiles would be automatically re-created. Have I missed something?
Incidentally, when I reloaded windows I created an Admin profile for setting everything up and did not use my actual profile name.
