How to disable windows 8.1 bootup password

I would like to disable the password that you have to enter every time I start windows 8.1. I found the one that requires you to enter from waking up the computer from sleep. But I want the main one to go away. My computer is not public so I don't
fear someone getting on my computer in my own home! But sometime it's a pain in the a## to put a password in every time I boot up.

They'll help you over here.

How to disable Windows 7 warning on Super-charger.exe?

Hi,
I buy a computer from ZT systems. The CPU is: AMD Quad-Core A8-3850 Accelerated Processor, Video graphics is:Radeon™ HD 6550D processor-integrated graphics (Dual monitor capable). From the CD-rom I know the motherboard is from MSI. I reinstall Windows 7 in order to have dual boot capability. I find that every time the computer boots, it asks whether run Super-charger.exe for security. I have check it is safe from "Program Files(x86)\MSI\Super-Charger.exe security property dialogue box (SYSTEM: Full control, Modify, Read & Execute, Read, Write). It still asks every time it boots.
Could you tell me how to disable Windows 7 asks about Super-Charger security?
Thanks

In Bios possibly check your boot order? 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.
I don't see any help from boot order.
BTW, How can I know the motherboard model? I bought this computer from Costco. The information I have is: ZT Affinity 7150Ma Desktop PC. I do not find further info from ZT Systems Inc. website.
Thanks.

How to disable SQL server 2012 sa password auto reset

We have SQL server 2012 in windows xp and we using sa login and password as null.
My problem is the password automatically reset within 3 hours once,
Anyone can help how to disable the automatically reset password or how to increase the reset time.
Thanks..!!!

SQL Server never changes any password, someone else is doing this. And it is a high risk to use SA account especially with an empty password!!!
Fully agree. A blank password for sa? In 2015?
Apparently something in your environment pokes around for server instances with blank sa passwords and teaches you a lesson. You could set up an event notification or a DDL trigger to find out that may be. Or just prove that you are smarter than them by
renaming sa. Or even better, prove that you are living in the present and set a strong password for sa. Or even better, disable sa, and only use Windows accounts that are in sysadmin so that you know how did what.

How to disable windows protection on multipoint server?

Hi!
I'm trying to install some software on windows multipoint server 2011 (single workstation with six stations). The application woudn't start at all. The system gives a standard windows mesage error with two optinos: stop app or try to find a solution online.
On windows 7 with antivirus software, when trying to copy files from DVD to hard drive, file like install.exe is been deleted with mesage that it is "susspicious". But when I disable it, software is instaled perfectly.
So, I'm not sure if the software has some certificate problem...or whatever.. It is not a virus.
I just want to install it.
How I'm going to disable windows server protection? Or, what should I do?

There should be link with Install anyway option located in right bottom corner. Can you post a screenshot? Did you try to install it with admin privilages?

How to disable windows dialogue when executing a script

Hi there.
I'm trying to automate a task that needs a PSD file to update a layer text.
For this task my script reads an externar data from www.mydomain.es/resource.cfg.
Everything has to be done automatically and the script will be programmed to run to a certain hour in my XP machine.
Data is retrieved, but when .jsx file tries to run a warning dialog displays in Windows. Something like:
"Security alert: you are about to execute a script in Photoshop CS4. Do yo want to Continue(button) or Cancel(button).
This prompt will ruin my script as i need to do everything automatically.
Does anybody knows how to configure windows, the script or whatever so that the script just executes without asking?
Thanks so much ofr your help.

Found the solution:
I have to place the script in the folder PS CS4 creates for scripts in XP located in documents and settings\user\My Documents\Adobe scripts
There seems to be a trusted folder and won't display any warning
•••(spanish lang. translation)
Encontré la solución:
Hay que copiar el script en la carpeta que se crea automáticamente al instalar PS CS4 y que se encuentra en documents and settings\usuario\Mis Documentos\Adobe Scripts
Esa parece ser una zona de seguridad autorizada y no mostrará ninguna advertencia si se ejecuta desde allí

How to remove Windows Sign-in with Password upon Startup

hi. Can anyone help me? Whenever we buy a new laptop, my husband always told me to "just leave it blank" , referring to the Microsoft Windows sign in with blank box for typing in a password. "This way you don't have to type your password everytime
you sign in." I am totally in agreement with this. Why do extra work everytime you open your laptop? So we have always done that. Last weekend a client made me skype with her. I had to download Skype. I was offered only two options for signing into skype:
either through Facebook or Microsoft Windows sign in, so I had to get a username and password at that point with Microsoft Windows. (Yes, there probably was some way to sign straight into Skype but the corporate relationship comes first, with Microsoft, so
they only provided me a screen with those two options. Nowhere else on the Skype screen did it say there was a third option.)
Now everytime I open my laptop I have to type my long Microsoft password. Right now I am in msconfig and reading every single running service under Startup, Services and Processes and cannot find the name of the authentication for Microsoft upon Startup,
to disable. What is the name of it? Under which category?
I use Windows 8.

How to disable Windows Sharing -- for real

To move files between my Mac and PC I used Windows Sharing on my MacBook Pro. It works like a charm.
To enable I go to System Preferences >> Sharing, check the "Windows Sharing" box, press the "Start" button, and enable Windows Sharing for my OS X user account.
I can then just type my Mac's IP into Windows Explorer on my XP box and voila, full access to my Mac home directory (after typing in my username and password, of course).
When I'm done I disable WS by performing the activation steps in reverse, and OS X happily says "Windows Sharing Off." However, I find that even though it's off I can still access my Mac from XP. In fact, I'm not even prompted for my password again.
How do I really turn off Windows Sharing in 10.4.8? Neither my XP box nor my Mac get restarted often, so if my XP box (the weaker link) was compromised, I don't like knowing that my Mac could be reached so easily with full control.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Strange, but I'd start of by verifying Permissions with Disk Utility, and if that didn't work I'd try Trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Reboot and set everything up again.
And/Or, get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.

How to disable Windows from prompting to enable Network Discovery

After deploying a new Windows 2012R2 VM, running sysprep, we then run powershell script to automatically configure a server how we want it.
One of these steps is to disable the Windows firewall in all profiles with this powershell line:
Set-NetFirewallProfile -name * -Enabled "false"
However, when I first login to the server, it prompt me to turn on/off network discovery:
"Do you want to find PCs, devices, and content on this network, and automatically connect to devices like printers and TVs?"
If I select "No", it enables the Windows Firewall on the public profile.
How do I prevent the server from prompting for this information?
I was thinking off disabling Network Discovery in the powershell script to turn it 'off' but not sure how to do this.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you try the command:
Disable-NetFirewallRule –DisplayName "Network Discovery"

How to disable windows 8 f key shortcuts

I am using windows 8 and HP Pavilion laptop.
I am playing games that require using f keys sometimes, but these f keys do different things in the desktop or whatsoever.
F1 opens up some kind of windows help bar, f2 makes the screen darker and f3 lighter.
I searched HP support forums and found someone else having the same problem. I followed the instructions and went to disable my action keys in system configurations. I saved the new settings and rebooted laptop, but still those fkeys work without using fn button.
What to do ?

Hello JoonaNikolai,
You state after disabling the action keys in the BIOS the F keys still work without having to use the FN key along with them, is that correct? I will try to assist you with this.
Can you please provide the make and model of the computer you have, if you are unsure where to locate that information have a look at this link for help.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

How To Acess Windows 2000/NT username password

Hello,
I am trying to find a solution for validating the user to my application using NT/2000 username/password.But i not able to know where to start and what all api will be required.
Please tell the solution if somebody knows it
thank you

You can get hold of the NT username by using an ActiveX object. I think it's called using code something like...
var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject(WScript.Network)
var username = WshNetwork.Username
then you can send the value of the username to your JSPs etc.
I'm not sure if that object will let you get the password though, but when we did it, we made the assumption that if there is a username, the user has managed to get into NT, and that fact alone is enough to trust them.

How to disable automatic launch of WIE in startup configuration with no options to do so?

Thinkpad T400 2764CTO running Windows 7 Home Premium 64
PC only 2 weeks old, very little on it, but getting slower and slower. Finally found the configuration for the startup menu and disabled several things I knew I didn't want at startup. One problem that I can't seem to figure out, is how to disable Windows Internet Explorer from being launched at startup? I have tried disabling every Microsoft option, and it still launches. Is there a specific Lenovo option [that does not obviously have anything to to with WIE] in the startup menu that, if disabled, will stop the WIE browser from being launched? How do I know which options are not safe to disable when attempting to slim down startup configuration for faster/more reliable performance?
Thanks,
Ann

Either I *completely* misread your instructions; that fix is major overkill for what I was trying to do; that fix does not apply to my problem; that fix is only for XP or Vista and not W7; or my PC is already so messed up (despite clean hardware diagnostics, no viruses, no malware, and it is only 2 weeks old), that it performed unexpected and unwanted actions when trying to use the Windows features on/off program control panel options.
Opened Control Panel, went to Programs, and finally found the option on the left for turning Windows features on and off. Unchecked the box for IE8, which required a restart. The restart time was 4-5 times longer than usual, even when launching superfluous programs from the startup menu, since it had to "reconfigure Windows." After restarting, WIE did not automatically launch, and its toolbar icon was gone too. Tried to turn it back on like you said, which also required a restart, which didn't make sense to me, since I expected the browser to launch again following another extra long restart once the box was re-selected. Although, surprisingly, it didn't, so for a moment thought it had somehow worked. Then I realized that my WIE icon was still missing from the toolbar, so there was no way to launch it even if I wanted to. Went back into the Control panel and checked every Windows feature box possible; another extra-long restart; still no toolbar icon for WIE. Had to go into the computer files to find WIE so that I could create a desktop shortcut icon so I could manually launch the browser from that. However, when I clicked on the shortcut, it went into a browser setup mode, as if it was being set up for the first time. Finished setup and tried to go to a webpage, but kept getting a connection error.
Diagnosed it, and it said that the Local Area Connection had no valid IP address. Waited on hold with Mediacom for a hour before being disconnected, trying to find out what the IP address was and where to re-enter it, since unchecking the IE8 box in the Windows features part of the Control Panel, doesn't just temporarily disable the function, but apparently actually deletes the toolbar icon, as well as the IP address. Took several more attempts over several hours to get ahold of Mediacom reset the signal to get the IP address back and get back online. So that really does not seem like a viable solution for trying to save time and resources by removing something from the startup menu, if it just quadruples startup time, deletes WIE toolbar icon and IP address permanently, requires creating a desktop shortcut, and then requires several more hours on phone with ISP for signal reset to get the IP address back. Would have been much faster and done less apparent damage than just going ahead and letting it launch at startup and then just closing it. *sigh*
I know that just having an icon in the toolbar does not mean that that particular program will launch at startup, as I have several others that have toolbar icons that I have been able to uncheck in the startup menu, so I can use the toolbar icons to launch each program manually. There just doesn't seem to be any program active in the startup menu that would be launching the browser, and still concerned about unchecking something necessary in startup that could screw it up even more.
Is there any way to get my toolbar WIE icon back without a full system restore, so that I have less shortcut clutter on my desktop?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How to disable UAC for standard account in windows 8.1 single language OS

Hi,
How to Disable UAC in a standard account on windows 8.1 single language OS.
application for mobile modem (TATA DOCOMO) always asks for administrator password, in windows 7 I used to just set UAC never Prompt in admin account and same setting would reflect in standard user account and then users where not prompted for password but in
windows 8.1 single language edition I have disabled UAC in admin account but in standard account the setting for UAC was still in default (notify me when programs try to make changes to my computer), if I try to set never, the ok button is greyed out with
message saying that you must be logged in as administrator.
And Group policy editor, local security policy are not available in windows 8.1 single language.
can any one give command to disable UAC using CMD.
OR
set registry to not prompt for admin password.
Thanks in advance..........

Hi Ed,
But in control panel -> user accounts -> Change user account control settings
I can set the settings to always notify
and default notify when programs try to make changes to computer.
But I can't set it to never prompt because only administrator as power to do that and if I set never prompt in administrator account the settings in standard user remains in
always notify.
so please let me know, if there is any other way to over come the problem.
Main problem is application from unknown source always prompt for admin password.
I need to disable it from prompting for admin password to run applications in standard accounts.

View Solution.

Hi,
You can remove the need for a power on password as follows.
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up menu and then select f10 to enter the Bios menu. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Security tab and hit enter. Use the arrow keys again to highlight power on password and hit enter. Enter the current password and then for the new password, just leave this blank and hit enter - do the same for the confirmation field. Press f10, select to save the new settings and hit enter.
