Factory set password for Windows Vista built-in administrator account?

I am attempting access the Vista built-in administrator account, which normally is not passworded unless the user does so. Mine, however, has a password that was set 11/20/2010 at 9:57:24 PM.
Was this p/w set by Toshiba? I assume so, as it was purchased directly from Toshiba. If so, any idea what that p/w would be? I need to use this account to recover my own admin account due to this error: The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
Machine is a Satellite P300 S/N 29020124W, Part # PSPC8U-01G00Q.
Thanks.

No. But some programs like the Google Updater (if you added the Google Toolbar, Chrome or Google Earth) have been known to cause this problem.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Macs don't come with a password. You have to set up the password during the initial setup. If you have forgotten your password, follow these steps to reset your password > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101

Unable to enroll fingerprints for the Win7 built-in Administrator account

In Windows 7 I tried to enroll fingerprints for the built-in Administrator account, but doing so failed every time with the error message The enrollment could not be completed.
I could not find a solution online and the Validity software was working just fine, as there were no issues with other users on the same system. As a work-around, I created another account with administrator privileges and enrolling the fingerprints worked just fine. My guess is that the permissions for the built-in Administrator account are different from any administrator account you can create yourself. What I noticed is that any self created account is part of the Users group, and that the built-in Administrator account is not part of this group. I'm not sure, but maybe this is the cause of the problem.
Anyway, I thought I would share my experience here, in case anyone else encounters the same problem.

same issue in build 10049.
It would help to be more specific in the symptom description. E.g. using Narrator may help. (Win-Enter). Does it say what you are "seeing" (or should be seeing)?
FWIW I think it is relatively easy to reproduce symptoms which are related to this thread's description using Narrator (Start Screen without Search bar, Search bar without Taskbar, or Search bar with Taskbar but without Start Menu
when the only time that the Search bar should appear is when the Start Menu is there, for example) so that could also help specify what your real symptom is. BTW there are horrendous delays when using Narrator.

Windows 10 Built-in Administrator account?

Well, that's a drag! So a domain administrator cannot use native apps?
I also don't understand why the OS is reporting the user as "Built-in administrator" as that is not the case.

I upgraded a Lenovo T530 from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It is joined to our domain and I am logged in as domain\administrator. Most everything works except many (all?) of the native Windows apps, Edge and calendar for example. When I try to open the app I see this:

For printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

Dear All
for printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

What Windows OS are you using? Are you networked?
If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess. If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access.
Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

Time Capsule settings for Windows vista Guest

I just recently set up my TC (AirPort 7.4.2) for wireless access for my MBP. I have guests from out of town who have laptops running Windows Vista. I've set up a Guest Network but they're unable to connect. Are there specifics steps that need to be taken in order for Windows Vista to be able to access the network? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

Ooops! My house guest was mistyping the password! All is working well.

Drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit on Satellite L300-1AM

When I can get drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit? Or I need to intall 32-bit drivers on my 64-bit Vista operating system?
Please links ;)

[Toshiba - Download Drivers|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
In the Drivers Search Page (the link above) select these filters:
_Product type:_ +Notebook+
_Family:_ +Satellite+
_Product Series:_ +Satellite A Series+ (don't try the L series if you want to find anything useful)
_Operating System:_ +Windows Vista 64 Bit+
_Country:_ +World Wide+ (you have to select this in order to get rid of those multiple country options available for the modem)
_Language:_ +English+ (obviously)
Don't modify any other filter. The results will be about 100 (maybe more, but the site is set to show up to 100 results).
Advices:
1. Download the latest versions only (there's no point in downloading multiple versions of the same driver, yet they will be shown in the search results area)
2. Download what's specific to your laptop only (network - RealTek, both wired and wireless; chipset and graphics - Intel; modem - Toshiba; webcam - Chicony; there's no point in downloading anything from otehr vendors - except maybe the touchpad, but Windows can handle it properly without aditional drivers)
3. Don't download any BIOS or Firmware file; they might not be for your notebook, and installing the wrong ones is a sure path to screwing up your notebook (and losing the warranty); if you need them upgraded, go to the download page for your specific model, Windows XP or Windows Vista 32 Bit drivers (since they are OS independent anyway)
Toshiba utilities (DVD Player, ConfigFree, etc.) should be OK too (again, download the latest version only).
BTW, I own 2 Toshiba notebooks (L300-1AM and L300-1AN; quite similar, the differences are in HDD and CPU only) and I had the same problem: no 64-bit drivers (and the same "support"). Quite strange the idea that Toshiba is testing these 64-bit drivers before releasing them (according to a previous post), since the same drivers, for the very same chipsets - but installed on other models - are available. Windows Vista 64-bit is out on the market for nearly 2 years now, the production of these models has already been stopped (and I assume they have not been produced during one night only :) ), yet they had no time to test the drivers... High-class support from Toshiba!

Which register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista,windows 7 and windows 8.1 as professional?

hi,
I like to know wich register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista- windows7- and windows 8.1.
I like to know the proffesional version of it which I can use for my clients every where unlimitted to clean unwanted keys of registry and improve performance.(specialy in Dutch language).
thanks

I second what Kate Li said. There's no need for a registry cleaner! Don't do it! I run Windows systems for years and they keep running as light and fast as when they're new.
What I *do* recommend is regularly reviewing the list of programs set to run in the background using a tool to show you what starts in various ways called Autoruns, which can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
This tool can be used to disable things you don't need.

Set password for messaging lumia 800

hi,
i have a nokia lumia 800 with windows phone 7.8.
there is a way or application that can set password for messaging, when I or another person want to acces "messaging" it must to insert password, a pin with 4 digits for example.
thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nah, buddy. It's not possible on the phone.
Most of the applications I found in the Marketplace allow sending of encrypted messages in which recipient needs to decrypt, but you can check the Marketplace yourself. I may miss one that suits what you need: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/search?q=message+password
However, you can create a password on the phone by going to Settings and then Lock+Wallpaper. This locks the phone and you need to input the password before you can access your phone.
Cheers.

Setting password for Autologon Default user in registry

Hi friends
I don't know is this the right forum to ask this question:
me along with my colleges are doing some exercises to improve our learnings, so we have setup a test lab which has a test DC & 10 test client computers running windows 8.1
as we know, when computers join to domain, the item related to Autologon is removed from netplwiz.
I know that to be able to use Autlogon feature in joined computers, we can restore the above item by creating the required items via any method like the following:
$regpath="HKLM:\software\Microsoft\Windows NT \CurrentVersion\Winlogon "
New-ItemProperty -path $regpath -Name AutoAdminLogon -PropertyType String -Value "1" -Force
$regpath="HKLM:\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
New-ItemProperty -path $regpath -Name DefaultDomainName -PropertyType String -Value %USERDOMAIN% -Force
$regpath="HKLM:\software\Microsoft\Windows NT \CurrentVersion\Winlogon "
New-ItemProperty -path $regpath -Name DefaultUsername -PropertyType String -Value “administrator” -Force
the above lines provide required info for Autologon, except the password of the user.because of this we have to sit at every test client & open up netplwiz & manually enter the password for default Autologon user.
is it possible to define the password for this user as well in the registry? so that we add it to above lines & save them as a PS script & run that PS script on our test systems so that we don't have to sit at each test client
& manually set password for default user for Autologon.
I mean I need when we power on our test clients, they automatically login via domain administrator credentials & be ready to use
thanks

The documentation for this might prove helpful:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc939702.aspx
According to the above:
If you disable automatic logon by setting the value of AutoAdminLogon to 0, delete the value of
DefaultPassword, which is stored and displayed in the registry editor in plain, unencrypted text.
(Hint: I found this very quickly by searching for "autoadminlogon" using a search engine.)

Compatible Jinitiator for Windows Vista

HI,
I bought a new laptop with Vista OS,and i am not able to run Oracle applications on it.When i try to open applications using remote login/password , internet explorer/Mozilla/real player shutting down automatically though it download jinitiator.Is there any Jinitiator Compatible for windows vista?

Three answers
1. This is a database forum and not an apps forum.
2. You can check the certification matrix on metalink or Steven Chan's blog http://blogs.oracle.com/schan would be a good bookmark to make - http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/2007/03/19#a1301 is directly relevant
3. You are unlikely ever to get Jinitiator to work on Vista, but you likely will be able to get an appropriate sun JRE to work. This requires work from your apps dba - I know I am one.
cheers
