i have windows 7 home premium and have locked myself out of my computer and do not remember my administrator password and can not find it.
There are numerous options built into Windows to help you get out of this predicament:
Reboot the machine with your Windows Repair CD, then use System Restore to set Windows back by a few days (works only if you changed the password recently).
Log on under your spare admin account, then reset the password to your usual account (works only if you set up a spare admin account).
Log on as Administrator in Safe Mode, then reset the password to your usual account (the password is usually blank).
Insert your USB flash disk with the password keyfile (works only if you took the time to create such a keyfile).
Use the password hint (works only if you created a hint and if it is good enough to let you guess the password)
Check your paper records (works only if you jotted down the password somewhere)
Ask your friendly computer dealer to reset the password for you.

    how many times with wrong password will phone lock out

    Depends on whether you have it set to erase data after 10 attempts. Otherwise it will lock out for a certain amount of time and then you can try again before it locks out again. However, if you cannot remember the passcode, you will have to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync with http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Help with admin password

    I just installed html db yesterday, but today I could not get logged back in as admin. I changed the admin password, evidently before email was set up correctly. I saw the post for "stupid password tricks", but How do I find the password for flows_010500, so I can create admin2?

    Ricky,
    You cannot find account passwords in Oracle but you can connect as sys and alter user flows_010500 identifed by new-password; before you alter user flows_010500 account unlock; before running the user creation script.

  • Admin password not working, Locked out.

    Hi to all. I have a real big problem. I upgraded to Tiger 10.4.8 then was not happy with the result (computer to old really to handle Tiger) so i did the downgrade to Panther 10.3. Now the Mac will not recognize my password. I have gone into the password section in disc utility, ( c key held while starting and saved a new password, but it does not let me in with this either, All i see is the log-in page and can get no further. I know its my fault, and i have learnt from this, but is there any way to re-install Panther and get it going again? Any help would be appreciated,

    Done a total re-install. Lost all my prog & data, but have my Mac back Thanks

  • How do your reset your ipod password if your locked out?

    how do you change your ipod password if your locked out of it

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Help! Purchased used MBP with admin password, want to install OSX Leopard!

    I purchased a used MBP with Tiger. The seller sold me a laptop with a password! I can log into the computer but I can't install programs (it asks for the password).
    I don't have the original Tiger disks.
    *If I purchase OSX Leopard tomorrow at the Apple Store, will I be able to install Leopard? Will it ask me for the password? Is there ANYWAY to get around this?*
    *Do I have to buy a completely new hard drive to install to?* If I do I'll be really upset. I thought this was a good deal but I guess not if I have to pay for all this...

    The machine is set to use "automatic login" that is why it does not require a password on boot up.
    Boot from the Tiger Install DVD and choose Reset Password under the drop down menu on the top menu bar. You did get the OS disks with the machine, correct?
    It will search the machine for all admin accounts and you can choose which one you want to reset.
    And FYI, you always need the password of an admin account to install software. It is one of the safety features of OS X.
    Installing 10.5 (Leopard) is your choice but it is not required to get you out of this jam if you have the 10.4 (Tiger) DVD. But you will need to boot from the 10.5 DVD and then decide what kind of install you want to do. If it was me, I would erase and install and start clean with legal software and applications.

  • Help with admi password

    I have a mac so x 10.4.11. was given to me by a c-worker. they left the administrate password on the computer and forgot the password. I am unable to update or add my printer to the computer. How can I get the password off. Help!!!

    Depending on the vintage, you might call Apple with the Serial# handy & see if they have replacement disks, but that depends on which OS it originally came with, if it came with 10.3 then that wouldn't help with 10.4.
    You really need an Install disk to be legal & to do repairs on the HD, etc, so I'd ask if they have it.
    But, there's another way in the meantime...

  • I've just came on board from Andriod and need massive help with the Contacts application any one out there willing to help the 'noob'?

    I had the folks at the store port over all of my contacts from my old
    ratty Andriod phone to my new shiny iPhone.
    however all 200+ of my contacts sort of "shook" out,
    meaning say John Smith, on my old phone,
    had in my contacts the following:
    John Smith
    123 Main St. Anytown, Anystate USA
    555-826-4879 home
    555-799-4247 cell
    [email protected]
    johnsmith@facebook
    all nice and neat on my andriod but when it ported over
    all that information was just scattered all over my contacts sort of like:
    john smith, smith john
    john smith 123 main st. etc.
    johhn smith home 555 etc.
    john smith cell 555 etc.
    john smith johnsmith@ etc.
    etc.
    so for all those 200+ contacts in my phone, I've got a zillion of them now...
    so I'd like to get this all back in order before I and Siri explode.
    I know nothing, and I know even less about outlook and the sort.
    But I do know I am in Dire need of help with this... I figured that eveything else
    involving iphones and apple in general was supposed to be cake but it seems
    like this is the only thing that isn't cake at all... unless, I'm just a right idiot. (which is possible, hence spelling and grammatical issues).

    I believe I've tried to sync it with google, but it didn't seem to take
    muchless take my calender. it seems to favor my facebook calender
    more over my google calender, but Siri seems to be helping me re-write
    it...but that's not the game here, it's the contacts. I've tried to export
    the cvp (??) list and import it into my iTunes account. However, It only
    doubled my issue because it didn't over write my existing contacts.

  • Help with a password field

    I have a Flash site I'm working on that has a private login
    area. The login is not meant to be high security, we just want to
    limit access to current and potential clients who we give a
    password to.
    Here is the site in
    progress.
    What I need help with is the client login window. The login
    field is in a pop-up when you mouse over the word "client login."
    The temp password is forumdemo. When you use the button after
    typing in the password, everything is fine. But when you use the
    enter key, it initiates the "incorrect' action every time, even if
    the password is correct.
    This is driving me crazy because when I originally built the
    login box as an entirely separate movie, the enter key worked fine.
    If you want to see it working, just click on the "client login"
    words rather than using the pop-up box.
    The code is the same in both. The only difference is that the
    password field, button and other elements are now a Movie Clip.
    Anybody have any thoughts? The scripts are below; developed
    with the help of people on this forum (thanks!).
    Ignore everything else - the content is not finalized. The
    final site will be our company website, with work samples and the
    like, and the main page will include a working demonstration of
    what we can do with Flash 8 and green screen video. We haven't
    finished that stuff yet.

    I tried. it didn't quite do it.
    I don't know how to trace the value of things, I'm still
    lurnin', but what I did do, is replace the _root.password.text with
    all of the following
    _parent.password.text
    _parent.loginPopup.password.text
    _root.loginPopup.password.text
    _root.loginPopup.password
    I'm sorry to say none of them fixed the problem, and I think
    my problem is that I don't know what you mean by tracing the value.
    Well, I know what you mean, but I don't know how to do it. I'll dig
    into the documentation, but if you or anyone has an easy answer,
    I'll take it!
    Thanks, I appreciate your help and all the help I've gotten
    on this forum building that site.

  • Need help with Workflow Issue: One notification sending out non-stop email.

    Hi,
    We've created a custom PO Approval Workflow based on standard PO Approval Workflow and we've had this for a while now. Last week, we encountered an issue where the notification keeps on sending email to the Suppliers and Buyers. We found out that the particular notification_id in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table keeps getting updated by the minute setting the MAIL_STATUS to INVALID then back to SENT then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that whatever is updating this table is the cause but up until now we haven't found what's updating it. Below are some information of our instance.
    Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
    Database: 10.2.0.4 64 bit
    OS: AIX
    Custom Workflow based on revision 115.127.11510.16
    Customizations:
    - Created custom notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Created custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as Performer to notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom function XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL right after function "Set Workflow Startup Values". This function sets #WFM_CC attribute and XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.
    Not sure if the customizations have anything to do with the issue since not all POs have this issue. Have anyone experience this? Would really appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks,
    Allen
