How to unlock Hp Desk top.

My daughter has forgotten the password for her HP Desktop model 120-1333W that she hasn't used since high school. I need to know how to unlock the computer or how to factory reset the computer so I can give it to her younger brother?
Thank you in advance for your help with this issue.

Hi:
If you are referring to the Windows password, please read the info below on how to perform a system recovery (factory reset).

If you are referring to a power on (BIOS) password, unfortunately, that I do not know how to remove.
There are no instructions for doing that.

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

How do I find Desk top software from July 2012?

Hi, I have the tour 9630 that crashed and I lost all contacts. I had a back up from July 2012. I updated my desktop software and tried to restore my back-up. The updated desk top software did not recognize my old backup file. I need the software that was available a year ago. Any suggestions where to find it? Thanks for your help.

Do you recall if it was Desktop Software v6?

Desk top froze up but mouse works how do I unfreeze desk top

TRying to in freeze the desk top the mouse will move but can't click on anything and no response from key board

Hold down the Power button for 5-10 seconds until the computer shuts down. Then turn it back on after a few seconds. If it starts up OK I suggest repairing the hard drive and permissions just in case.

How do get palm desk top 4.2 for windows again?

About 1 year ago,had Palm m130 got Palm Centro, had problem transferring info. Called palm support they e mailed version 4.2 for windows. Had to put new hard drive in laptop. Would like to get 4.2
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

It works fine for me.
1. Click the link in my signature that says "Reading the Manual can be very enlightening".
2. In the page that opens, click the link that says "Palm Desktop 4.2".
3. Download and install the file that arrives. If it doesn't work, your firewall or browser may be blocking things.

Desk top locked up while using I photo, can't get mouse to do anything more them move. Just on off button works. Any ideas?

Anyone have any ideas on how to unlock the desk top?

Whoah boy, lots of things here and I have to make supper...
I'll choose a few at a time. "RAM drives"
RAM drives? Do you mean hard drives? Do you mean RAM chips?
If hard drives, did you put them back in the same order? Multiple hard drives in one machine often need to be jumpered correctly when you move them about.
If chips... It's too difficult at this stage to tell if it is hardware or software. If hardware it could be chips, and that error at the end had a vague chip ring to it. One way to test for chips if you have extra chips is to pull all but the minimum required to boot and see if it boots.
You mention a backup drive. This wouldn't happen to have a clone of the operating system on it would it?
4 drives... All internal?
From all you've said it could be hardware or software. Blue screen could be software but failing hardware can corrupt a drive, messing up the software.
Boot discs. It sounds like you have no boot discs (CD. DVD) for this computer, right?
What computer are you using right now?

Desk Top Locked ?

This is not exactly Finder and Dock question but there seemed to be no where else to ask. I suspect this is an easy fix and hope so. On my Desk Top, I cannot move the files around. I click and hold to move them but I get one of those Circles with a line through it. Also, for an email message, I cannot select a file from the desktop but I ca do a drag and drop of the file into the message. Finally, I cannot do a drag and drop from a CD/DVD onto the desk Top but the file will go into other files. I think I may have hit some type of lock command. But the Info on the Desk Top does not have the little box for LOCK checked.
The program had been working fine before.
Thanks!
Jim

Thanks but how do I get to Desk Top Preferences? I guess a more fundamental problem is that I don't know how to open the Desk Top from the situation it is now in. If I click on Desk Top it has me Choose Application and then it shows "Utilities" on the selection list. How do I open it? If I have two fingers on the pad and click, again it asks what to open with.
Thanks for the help...

Desk top oversized

Hi,
I have 27inch i mac, however, recently the desk top screen has become oversized. I now have to scroll up, down and across to access the various tool bars and dock etc. Does anyone know how to get the desk top to fit the screen?
Regards

Welcome to the discussions. Perhaps you inadvertently entered this mode by holding down the Ctrl key whilst scrolling up with the mouse. If so, to return to normal, hold down the Ctrl key whilst scrolling down. ...From a comment in this Magnifying With a Touch article:
"...if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel. Just hold down the control key when when you scroll up to magnify, *and scroll down to return to normal.*"
Settings are in the Mouse section of System Preferences with an Options button for more settings. Also:
"You can use keyboard shortcuts to control zooming. To make the screen image appear larger (zoom in), press Command-Option-equal sign (=). To make it appear smaller (zoom out), press Command-Option-hyphen(-)."
...quoted from this Apple doc:
Making it easier to see what’s on the screen
For portables, see this Apple doc:

I have an IMac. I put a folder on the desk top and now want to delete it. The folder seems to be locked. I went into Get Info and attemted to unlock the folder and delete it. Won't go away. There is nothing in the folder. How do I unlock this folder and delete it? When I try to delete it, I'm asked for my password which I put in and is accepted, but will not delete the folder. Any help would be great.

If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app. That will dispose of it.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing. If so, the internal switch is stuck.. Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch. If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.
Ciao.

How do you transfer Creative Cloud (Light Room & Photo Shop) from your old Desk top to a new desk top

I have just got a new desk top and I am trying to work out how to get The creative Cloud programs I use (light Room and Photo Shop) off my old Desk top and onto the new desktop. Does any one know how to do this or have already done it, or do you have to cancel the subscription on the old PC and start a new subscription for the new PC.

Hi Jessica,
You do not need to cancel the subscription. You can simply follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps which will help you to install the Adobe CC application on your new PC.
If possible you can also deactivate the license from your previous computer using the article: Activation & Deactivation Help.
Let me know if it works or not.
Thanks,
