I recently got a computer and the person it came from has passed on. I tried starting the computer in safe mode which usually works but when I go into safe mode it go to a log on page and still needs a password for safe mode how do I get around this password to get into the computer?

(Under : Logon - Logoff loop, also caused by BlazeFind )
But as i said in topic, i have forgotten my admin password so i cant use the " Recovery Console"
What to do?
Recently I've been having trouble my Advent 7093. I think due to a virus. I keep getting stuck in a perpetual loop of windows failing to start. As there was nothing particulary on the laptop that I needed to keep I thought I would just do a full system restore. However, when I tried pressing F10 during start up nothing happened (no matter how many times I pressed it!) So i ordered a recovery disk from The Tech Guys expecting that when i started my laptop with the disk in the drive it would automatically take me into system recovery.
It doesn't! I just get a screen saying....
System Recovery
Error! PC System not supported
press any key to continue
when I phoned The Tech Guys for help they told me that for some reason my Advent no longer thinks that it's an Advent and that I'd need to take it to a PC World to be 'fixed' Has anyone else had an experience like this? is there anyway I can sort this out without having to take the laptop in?
A friend of mine changed his windows log on password for windows 2000 and can't remember it.He has a HP Pentium 3 computer.Is there anyway to bypass this window or is there a default administrator password or something he can do to get around it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhilst trying to set up a wireless connection on my PC, i inadvertently set up a network with my PC. not knowing what i had done. I used the 'Network Connections' wizard in the control panel. in this wizard i did input a passwrod as one of the fields needing filling in. I reset my computer - note i am using a different computer now! - and it asked me for a password to 'Log onto Windows'. i tried using the password i entered in above wizard set-up, but this is not working. have tried all variations but with nothing working. i cannot get into my computer! is there a way i can bypass this screen - i can see none! this is not an 'official' network that has been set up, so there is no administrator to re-set the password.

View 11 Replies View Relatedhad sp2 and other updates installed. uninstalled most of them because...well because i was trying to install
older software that worked before sp2 was installed.. anyway, now big problem. suddenly xp asks for password to logon, and this is really strange, i have never in my life had a password for my computer. so obviously no matter what i enter, the computer asks politely if i've forgotten the password
