Administra​tor password problems

I haven't used my computer for a couple months and never wrote down my password for the only account on my computer. I can't seem to find a disc to restore it anywhere and pressing f11 will not work. I really need this problem fixed asap so i can use my laptop for school. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi,
If the file system appears to be corrupt, you're probably better off reinstalling Vista again.
If you have files on the notebook you need to back-up first, try the following.
One possible way to try and retrieve your files from a non-booting notebook is to follow the process detailed in the link below.  The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ).  When you've created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your existing files if needed.

Regarding reinstalling Vista, there are 2 main options if the Recovery Partition isn't working and you don't have your discs.           
1.  You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
2.  In the same way that it's possible to create a Windows 7 retail disc, use this to perform the installation and then use the OEM windows 7 activation key from the COA label, the same process is possible if your notebook came with Vista. 
Before trying the following, you must make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
A full description ( including links to the Vista Image downloads ) of this can be found on the following link.

  • L655D-S515​1 Administra​tor Password problems

    Just got my Toshiba laptop mdl.l655d-s5151. Got a bios update from 1.7 to 2.0 when I installed it I was told to shut down the computer and then reboot it. I did as instructed and pressed F2 when I saw the Toshiba logo to enter the boot utility. All I got was a request for a password that I didn't install. Does anyone know how to change that password Help Me Please.

    Hi,
    If your machine is producing a hexadecimal halt code, this would indicate it has a more recent AMI bios, in which case, you only have two options at the moment.
    1.  Contact HP and see if they can help with an unlock code - start Here.
    2.  Although I've had no real confirmation ( 1 case ) of this, it would appear that the hash is not stored in nvram and that removing the cmos cell, holding down the power button for a minute, then leaving it for a couple of hours before re-assembly will actually clear the password - the bad news if you wish to try this is that the cell is on the wrong side of the system board - see Page 115 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

  • NI-DAQ Administra​tor rights problem

    I've got a VB6 program using a PCI-6024E board with Ni-DAQ 7.2 under Windows 2000
    The program works fine when I log in as Administrator, but when I log in under a user account I get a "Runtime Error 10459 Configuring Channels. The NI-DAQ DLL could not be called due to an interface error."
    I also cannot run the NI-DAQ test panels under the user account.
    I can't install the NI-DAQ driver under the user account as it's needs admin rights!
    Anyone know how to allow an application to run under a user account?
    Obviously I don't want the operators to log in as administrator.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    There are a couple of forum postings dealing with this same issue.
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170​&message.id=91569&requireLogin=False

    Both seem to provide the following steps as a possible solution.
    "Complete the following steps to set up permission for the MAX\Data directory:
    1) Browse to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments directory.
    2) Right-click the MAX folder and select Properties.
    3) Click the Security tab, and click the Add button. Type in the user name and click OK.
    4) Give the user Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permissions.
    5) Click Apply and then OK."
    That should resolve any DAQ problems you're having with user accounts. Please let me know if you have any more problems with this.

  • Administra​tor password forgotten

    wanted to secure printer to the outside world but needed administrator name and password ? forgot them. 
    two questions how to restore password and name
    and how to secure printer

    Hello @jdw2,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with resetting the Administrator Name and Password on your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer. Because the Administrator Name and Password are programmed into the printer once configured, you must perform a programming reset on your machine to eliminate the password from the printer. This programming reset will reset all settings on your printer back to their factory default out of box state. Therefore, should you utilize the wireless, ePrint or Apps on your printer these will need to be reconfigured once the reset is complete.
    I am going to send you a Private Message with the instructions on how to perform the Semi-Full Programming Reset on your printer. Please refer to your Private Messages for further instruction.
    In terms of securing your printer, if you use this printer in an office environment and do not with to have others using the machine you can block the Copy and Fax features from being used on the front panel of your printer. You can also block others from accessing the menu options on the front panel as well. If anyone wants to utilize the front panel menu, Copy or Fax features than they will be prompted to enter the Administrator Name and Password on the printer.
    For printing, if your printer is wireless it will be accessible to those that are connected to the same network that you are connected to. Therefore, if you are in an office environment where everyone is connected to the same network, a user on that network can simply go to 'Add a Printer' and install your network printer for printing ability. There is no way to block this feature. The only way to secure your printer would be to install it on a secure network that nobody has the password to or use the printer through a direct USB Cable connection. If you use the printer in a home environment, then if your printer is networked, only those that know your Wireless Network password will be able to connect to your printer for printing ability.
    Because this is a consumer level printer the Administrator options for monitoring and locking features of the product are limited. You would be able to lock and monitor a commerical grade product.
    Please let me know if the reset resolve the Administrator Password and Name issue. I look forward to hearing from you!
