Password Error

Nov 2, 2006

I am trying to help my aunt set up internet at her shop, the user passwords are all the same, all except the admins. I have got as far as connecting to the internet but then it will not allow me to log onto any sites.
It comes up saying that the webpage cannot be viewed because it doesn't have a rating and gives me the option to changeContent Advisor, except then asks for admin passwrd, she hasn't got a clue what that is
She can't find the original discs and I have tried leaving it blank but that doesn't work.how I can bypass or reset the admin password, I have only ever been the only user on my computer but on hers when Login page comes up it doesn't show an admin account, only the couple of users, is this right?I obviously can't download anything off internet as can't get on the sites, not unless I can download to mine and then save to disc but don't want to do anything to my own pc.

Users Password Error - Cannot Get Command Prompt

Aug 9, 2007

I have looked at the answers you have given for this subject, and none seem to apply to me. I lost my boot disks in the hurricane, and my son has somehow changed all the passwords, including the administrator one, and then locked the computer. When I reboot, even in safe mode, I come immediately to the "Control-Alt-Delete" screen. We have tried every password we could think of, and the users now just get the error that we've been locked out. I have tried every Administrator password I would have set, including no password at all, to no avail. So I cannot get to a command prompt even from Safe Mode.

Honestly, I would be happy to just reformat, but I can't even get to the DOS prompt, and I don't have a DOS reboot disk for this computer (lost too!). No other computers are running that version of XP, so I can't make one from one of those either.

Administrative Username-password - Application Error

Apr 24, 2008

Today when I tried to reboot a Windows 2000 Server box it proceeds through the startup process VERY slowly and when it finally gets to the login box and I enter the administrative username and password that has always worked in the past, I get the following error:userinit.exe - Application Error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.When I click OK the desktop will not come up and the server is useless. I have seen some other information about this error, but most of them assume that the computer is accessible. I have not been able to get to a desktop normally or through any safe mode options.

We have 3 user accounts on this pc and would like to have them password protected.

Entering Password Takes Me Straight To Log-off And Password Re-entry

Apr 3, 2009

I was doing a clean up with Ccleaner etc and in my haste I did not take note of what I was clicking. Spybot Search and Destroy flashed up and I clicked to allow, or not allow as the case may be, to do something to, from what I can remember, 'WLON' or something similarly named. In any case, what happens now is that I fire up the computer, enter my password, the desktop briefly flashes up for a split second(no icons) and then it immediately logs off and goes to password entry again.

Blank Administrator Password Pro - Invalid Password Response

Jan 15, 2006

My account on my computer (Win XP Pro SP2) is an Administrator account. Over a year ago, I got tired of entering my password because I an the only person that uses this computer. I did something so it would boot without the password screen appearing ( I don't remember what, but I think I left the password line blank).
Since the computer boots directly to my account, I am never prompted to enter a password; but if I use Power Options (and the computer sleeps), it wakes to the login screen and I cannot reenter my account. I have to reboot. On the login screen, I have tried leaving the password blank and entering every password I use, but I get an Invalid Password response.

Password Screen / No Password Works

Jan 23, 2006

A few days ago I tried to update my families pc to SP2 so I could get all the updates etc. It seemed to install alright, but then when starting up it gave me some drwatson.exe error which ended up freezing the pc. So I did what I thought was safest at the time and that was to go back to a restore point and then maybe try reinstall SP2. BUT, after restoring, windows suddenly showed the password/log on screens. I now can't log on as Administrator OR Guest. Nothing works. I've tried EVERY possible password that I could have used in the passed, but nothing works. So now I can't get into the pc at all. I've tried booting up in safe mode and logging in as administrator with a blank password, but that doesn't even work. I've read a lot about it online, and it seems the only solution would be to reinstall XP. But would that work as a format and erase some of my files and/or settings? Or would it just be like an upgrade?

Why Asked For Password When Have Not Setup Any Password

Aug 8, 2005

For a long time, I log on to my Windows XP by clicking on 'Default' without any problem. However, today, the computer did not startup smoothly until after running 'system checkup' automatically. Then, when the logon page came, I click 'Default' but it asked for password. I did try some words or left it blank but XP would not let me logon.

Disk Error / System Restore Error / ScanDisc Error

Apr 25, 2006

I am running Win XP-SP2. I wiped my hard drive due to irresolvable software conflicts. I reinstalled XP-SP2, Office, Norton, the printer and scanner and my digital camera software package. All were updated and working perfectly until Sunday. I booted up the machine only to get a warning that says One of your disks may have errors let the computer reboot itself (which it will do repeatedly, stuck in a reboot loop) or you can hit any key to ignore this warning. You have only ten seconds to read all this and make a decision.

Once the computer boots up, everything seems to work as normal except for system restore. I tried to restore to the day after I reformatted and installed everything and all I get is an error saying Cannot restore to that point, please choose another point to restore tooor something to that effect.

To Log In Without Having To Put The Password In

May 7, 2005

It's been quite sometime since I've been on the forums and I'm still a new user and don't know a lot of things about computers. So if I'm not in the correct forum would someone put this where it belongs? I put a new password in my Windows I guess it was and now everytime I leave my computer for a little while my screen comes on and then I have to put the password in again. I didn't have to do that with the first password I used, I just had to click on the Ok. Is there someway I can do that again?

Password Keeps Getting Lost?

Dec 13, 2008

my mum is running XP with Tiscali broadband. More often than not, when she tries to connect she is asked for her password ( we have tried clicking remember password!) but then is told it is not recognised. After several tries worth of helpline phone calls they take her thru the whole setting up procedure again & she is connected.

A few days later the same thing happens again!

Is this a money making ploy by Tiscali? Or is there something ( virus?) that could be causing the password to become unrecognised?

Won't Remember Password Ask For It Again And Again

Apr 13, 2005

I have a HP Pavillion a845w, which is running Microsoft XP Home. I am running a program called Ceres (uses internet explorer) and even though I have told windows to remember my username and password, it still pops up everytime and ask for it. This wouldn't bother me too much, but other programs I use off a server which require a login also refuse to work. I have to go into that drive and type in the password before windows allows me to open it. I have reset the password option many times, but still no luck.

Cant Log On - Password Not Recognised

Jun 15, 2008

My password (administrator) and wife's password are not being recognized, therefore we cannot log onto windows. We are certain the correct passwords are being entered. My password includes an uppercase "U" but I noticed that when I hit shift+U a charecter is not entered and the cursor moves one space left. When I strike U with the capslock on a charecter is entered but the password is still not recognized. I tried to boot into safe mode but I am still required to enter a password and encounter the same problems.

Log Off And Log On - Cannot Enter The Password

Aug 8, 2005

For the last few weeks I've had a problem logging off from one user id and then on to another (not just switching users).When I log off from the first user id the normal XP login screen is displayed but when I click onto the password box for the new user the cursur doesn't appear in that box and I can't enter the password. If I select a user id that doesn't have a password then I can log on as them, the problem is only with user ids with passwords. Restarting XP then allows me to log on to any user id as normal.
