Help resetting password for HP Pavilion Windows 8

I bought an HP Pavilion notebook a few months ago. It has Windows 8. I was away from my computer over the holidays and, stupid me, forgot the password. I assume it is the Administrator's password--the one that is requested when you turn on the computer. Can someone help?
Thanks!

How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

Hi,
How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving the message that Incorrect logon and password.
(Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
-B S B

Hi again:
I forget to tell.
You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
Hope this wil help,
Eric

Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

Hi friends,
Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh,
Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
=> Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
Call this in the program for resetting the password.
=> CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
Hope this helps.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.

Is there a version of the iPod Reset Utility for 64-bit Windows? The only 1 I could find says it only works on 32-bit. I tried the compatibility utility, but still no joy!

I recently reset my Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen to factory defaults and now it is not being recognized in Itunes. I currently have Windows 8 and no capability to get a 32-bit version of windows. What are my options for making my 2nd gen Shuffle to work?

Unfortunately, only you can remember your password for a self-signed digital ID. No one can reset or find it for you.

Reset password for a restored volume????? Please Help...

Hi fellow mac addicts.
I had to back-up my HD and now I just restored it to an external Firewire HD.
When I went to boot from it by choosing it as the start-up disk, everything went well. But before it the finder came up, I was greeted with a user name and password dialog box. I tried everything I could remember to have it continue to load, but obviously I didn't have the right combination. I then booted from the system install disk to reset the password. The external HD was listed, but when I chose it, it ghosted the option to reset password.
I don't know what I can do from here in order to boot to my desktop.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
Thank you in advance.
Eddy

Eddy, I'm getting the picture. Your only available copy of your data is on your external drive, and you are using another (someone else's?) Mac. You want to boot from the external so it's "your system" even though a different computer. Right?
Would another account on the Mac work for you? You'd startup from the Mac internal drive, log in to your own account there, separate from the owner's account, and could access all your files.
If the only way to get yourself up and going is to boot from the expernal, here's what to do. Be careful, be sure you are booted from the external disk, be sure to follow the advice on naming the new account. Mistakes can cause data loss.
Startup with the option key and select the external drive. Immediately hold Apple-S until you get to a commmand prompt.
type mount -uw /
to mount the external disk for use, then ls -la /Users to check that you are booted from the disk you think you are.
type cd /var/db/netinfo
to go to the directory that holds the user database. You are going to delete the database, but instead of irrevocably killing it, let's rename it so you have an option to backtrack.
Type mv local.nidb old.nidb
Then we'll force the setup assistant to run at the next boot.
Type cd ../
Type rm .AppleSetupDone
Note the filename has a period as the first character.
Type shutdown -h now
Reboot with the option key; select the external drive. It'll boot into the setup assistant -- a little movie and song, then the setup process. Make a new account with a name that's NOT Eddy or Eddy <Anything>. Call it "Admin" for example.
Complete the setup process and wait for the desktop. I don't know where your backed up files are, but if they were in the Eddy account or at the root level of the disk, you should be able to access them.
If you have permissions problems or other trouble, let us know.

Retrieve password for HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6700

I have forgotten the password for my HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6700. How can I retrieve the password or reset it?

Hi,
Iff this is your Windows log-on password, try the following.
Using another PC, download the application on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
PC Login Now
When the download has completed, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer - this will result in another file appearing which is the disc image ( .ISO ) that you need to burn to a blank CD.
You will now need to use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this ISO correctly to a blank CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
When the disc has been created, shutdown the PC you can't log-in on, tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter - you may also have to 'Press any key' to boot from the CD if asked.
Follow the instructions on the guide Here to remove the current password.

DP-K
