How do you get pass "Enter password" when you don't know what it is?

I inherited a Toshiba Laptop that has Windows Vista label. The model # begins with PSL, so I've been able to determine that it is a Toshiba Satellite Model L.
When I turn on the computer, it asked for a password, which I don't know, nor does the person that gave me the computer. So I placed my Windows Vista Operating Disk into the drive and rebooted the computer in the hope of reformatting the system. But it bypasses the drive and it comes back asking for the password. Can any one help me?

I presume you are writing about BIOS password. This password can be removed by Toshiba service only.
Contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and let them remove this password for you.
When password is removed you will be able to install operating system and have full access to all notebook settings.

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
Event Name will become Folder Name.
'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
So: File -> Export
Set your Kind to Jpeg
Select your preferred Quality
Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

If you don't know what to do anymore(Written by Bas)

If you don't know what to do anymore because drivers won't install, you might try this.
Hi there,
* This article is not really for newbies, but you might give it a try. *
* Read it thru the end before you do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *
I was testing 3Dmark for the link Takki made, THANK YOU!!!!!
I did the following:
Tested with my MSI GF2Ti200 (patched to Quadra2Pro) and had a nice score....
Then I removed the drivers and changed the card to a Hercules Prophet 4500 (KyroII chipset), installed the drivers and done the test again, no problems....I THOUGHT!!!!
So I uninstalled the drivers again, and inserted the MSI GF2Ti200....
After the reboot of Win2000+SP2+Directx8.1+VIA4.38, I installed the latest nVidia drivers again, it detected my card as a Quadra2Pro (as it should) and I rebooted....
The DARN drivers wouldn't initialize!!! I had a nice ! in the driver....
So I thought, well no problem, we uninstall them again and try it again, same result.....
Then I thought, it must be the BIOS as I recently flashed the latest version, so I went back to 5.1 from 5.3 on my KT3-Ultra-ARU.....again nothing and the ! was there again.....
At this point I really started to hate nVidia (still do BTW)....
The next step I took, was refreshing the ACPI-compliant-system-driver (HAL), no problem you think? My idea exactly, but it told me that it could find some file or it was damaged.....no problem, we just reboot and it should be fine, again nada, njet, noppes, none....but now I had 2 of these damn !, one at the nVidia card and one at the HAL....
We don't give up, so I started to delete all the OEM*.INF files in the C:\WINNT\INF directory that are not related to the cards I have, but I also deleted the nVidia related.....
So I rebooted again, installed the nVidia drivers again (have tried old versions too) and again, nothing!, now I got really MAD
I know, I know, I should have just reinstalled the entire freaking Win2000 at this time, but I hate reinstalling and I won't be beaten by Microsoft
At this point, my brain was cooking now, I went to the hardware wizzard and choose to remove the ACPI-compliant-system-driver (translated from Dutch so it can differ a bit), and again another reboot.....
Now Windows got MAD at me!?!?!, it started to load a new ACPI compliant drivers and installed all the hardware over again, except for the nVidia drivers as they where deleted.....
Windows asked for the MSI CDrom a couple of times, but hey who am I to refuse this humbe request?
A dozen more reboots and all the drivers where installed again and the time had come to give the nVidia drivers another go....
After telling me to close the antivirus, don't know why? Never had any problems before! It asked me the same questions as you all get and seemed to install.....another reboot, yep Billy is very keen on rebooting
What the ?????, they work!!!!!
Gee man (woman), I have beaten the beast!
I hope this description will help others who have problems switching cards, you can allway's try this approach.
I learned from this experiance that the PnP in Windows is junk and you really need to remove the HAL to get it working again, next time I will go straight for this baby in order to get a good recognision of the hardware involved.
As Windows does strange things when this happens, it will even tell you that files are damaged or missing, when they are not....
I'm not sure if it will work in XP, but it does in Win2000.....give it a shot before you decide to reinstall....
As I think reinstalling doesn't get you anywhere and won't solve your problems, I know this is hard stuff, but you really feel pleased afterwards when you managed to solve it.
Bas.
BTW, I still don't like APIC 1.1/1.4, never used it on a single CPU and never will as it's faking you on interrupts
Check your BIOS start screen and you will find all the proof you need
To remove the HAL, you first need to go to the hardware device listing, there you look under system how your system is listed.
On my system this is ACPI Compliant System.
Then you go to the hardware wizzard and choose the option remove a device, after that you get a screen with lot's of devices, there you find the same (allmost) devicename, then you choose to remove that one.
After you reboot, wait a little as Windows seems to go nuts, just follow thru and you will have a brand new configured system.
Then try to install the devices that didn't want to install in the first place, you might be so lucky that they do install then.

Sounds like you do have an Exchange account setup on your phone. Have a Gmail or Hotmail account? They can both be setup as Exchange accounts. Have a work email account?

A "keychain" is a secure database in which passwords are stored in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized discovery of your passwords. Think of it like a bank safe deposit box in which you can safely store your passwords.
If you have a problem with your keychain then perhaps you have not changed the passwords correctly or need to repair your keychain. You might try:
Assuming that you are using a recent build of OS X, go to /Applications/Utilities and launch the app called Keychain Access. Go to the Window pulldown menu and select "Keychain First Aid". Enter your password, set the radio button to "Repair", and click "Start".

How do you get pass "Enter password" when you don't know what it is?
