Don't know power on password for hp touchsmart 520-1020 windows 7 64 bit

My touchsmart 520-1020 was powered off and when it came back on it was asking for a power on password. Can anyone help me with this? Please? when i enter a random password three times it doesn't give me a code. it shows a key each time i press enter after entering a password and after the third time it has an asterik. and then no more options. the date is shown at the bottom right hand corner.

Hello cmeryers76:
            Your password should be the same one you use to log into windows.  Why you are seeing a date is be yound me. This seems more like a bad virus or malware. If your sign in password still fails. Unplug the computer while this screen is still being displayed. This is what we call fource restart. Ounce the computer is completely off plug it back in and turn on your computer you should start up in safe mode screen option use arrow keys select safe mode with net working. Close out help and support window. Locate the the recovery manger and  Click yes in prompt window if displays then select Microsoft System Restore in next two screens click on next You well eventually end up with dates listed choose a date before this event occurred then click next follow all command promts.  Ounce recovery point has been completed run your antivirus software. Then do a PC Tune Up.  Go to your control pannel and open up Performance Information and Tools  select Adjust power settings on the right hand side. Then select Choose when to off the display. Next window switch all boxes to never. You will never have to worry about this ever again.  On top of that the issues you face trying to wake up the computer from sleep mode. 
         If the same screen displays on start up by a chance then unplug the computer hold down power button for five secounds then plug it back in turn on computer tap f-8 key follow above recovery  steps. If this fails to open in safe mode. Then full recovery is only option  requires recover discs.  Power off the computer turn it on and tap f-10 key and insert disc one of recovery disc follow all command prompts. Ouce fullrecover is completed follow the above dirrections for the display settings above switch all thee settings to never. frrw

    There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

  • I don't know my administrator password and I want to download an antivirus.  I also don't have the MAC OS install CD either.

    I don't know my administrator password or have the MAC OS install CD.  How can I download and install software without either of these?

    What version of the Mac OS are you running?
    Generally anti-virus applications are either useless or actively bad for your Mac. ClamXAV is an exception to this rule.

  • HT6030 Don't know my keychain password??

    I just installed this piece of software on my MacBook Pro, and I don't know my keychain password! Each time I try and get on an application, like chrome or safari, I am blocked because I can't get the pop-up window off my screen! Help???

    Welcome to the forums!
    In Utilities > Keychain Access you should be able to select the Login keychain (even though it's locked) and then File > Delete Keychain "Login". Then quit, log out, and log back in and a new login keychain should be created.
    If this fails, you can manually delete the login.keychain from the ~User/Library/Keychains folder. Then log out, log in, and go to Keychain Access, Edit > Keychain List, click the + to add a keychain, and select the login keychain.
    With your new keychain, next time you run Safari it will ask for access to your keychain, you can click Always Allow and you should be set.
    Hope this helps...

  • Forgot power on password for HP HSTNN-105C

    I forgot my power on password for HP HSTNN-105C 

    Hi CherylG,
    Yes, I could not find an HP laptop using the supplied user posted sytem ID. I don't work for HP and I try to help posters as best as I can. Info supplied by posters must be evaluated for relevance and my responses are provided based on indices of potential validity. In this case two instances of the same problem indicated potential linkage even though I could not identify the HP system involved.
    If the system is a laptop, the problem both individuals are having it is not so easy to correct. If you use a Power on Password you really should copy (backup) and store the password for future use.
    Thanks for your input!!
    Hey, we both used an HP 560z and we liked it!!
    Happy computing!

  • How do I change my icloud email when don't know the old password after I have changed my apple ID email address and the password? icloud is still online with my old email address!!!

    I got a new phone but backed it up through my itunes, and when I tried to use icloud it kept telling me I have forgotten my password, when I really really didn't. So I went to settings > itunes&appstore and changed my password, but also changed the email address too while I was at it, since I've always wanted to change it. But now here's the problem. My iphone's icloud is currently logged in with my old apple ID email address, which seems to not work with the new password, so I can't log it or even delete the account off my iphone. And ovbiously, I don't know the old password that I have "forgotten", as my phone tells me. There seems to be no way of changing the icloud account now.... What should I do?!

    So what was the solution. I have a similar problem on all of my devices now

    My iCloud email address and my apple ID are different. I would like to change my iCloud to be the same as my apple ID. However I don't know my iCloud password and don't use the email address it belongs to. When I try to change the password, apple brings me to a page to reset my apple ID password (which I know and don't want to change). I have even tried to delete my iCloud account completely to start again but am not allowed without the iCloud password (which I don't have) there doesn't seem to be a place to change the email address of iCloud. What can I do?

    This is the answer that I had expected, so in this case you could only change your gmail.com address to another providers email addres e.g. outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc., but you won't be able to change the gmail.com address to a icloud.com email address. Apple just won't let you do that.
    Your iCloud account with @icloud.com email address and you Apple ID with gmail.com address are already connected and as I said before, Apple just let you merge this two IDs together.
