I can't remember my password for opening my Pavilion dm4 1063dLaptop

I can't remember the password for my Pavilion dm4-1063d Laptop and have been unsuccessful in following any of the online advice most of which assumes I know more than I do.  For instance, I found instructions that say open a command in administrator mode by right-clicking and choosing "Run as administrator" but no information as to where that is done. What is administrator mode?  After entering that command it says I should now type "administrator/active:yes, etc. Where is that supposed to happen?

Welcome Steve.
Is this a Power-on password???
Or a Windows login password???
Let us know.

  • For some reason or other I can't remember my password for my apple id and when I go to reset it I can't find the email they have sent me.

    For some reason or other I can't remember my password for my apple id and when I go to reset it I can't find the email they have sent me.I think they are sending it to my apple email [email protected] which I can't access as they are telling me my password is wrong and send me an email message to this email address which I cannot remember the password for. I am in a vicious circle.Support have emailed me and stated they can't change it?!

    Sign in at http://icloud.com with the new ID and password and confirm that your data is still all there.
    Then sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in with the new ID and password. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.

    Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore.

    You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Can't remember my password for my airport base station

    I am trying to add another device to extend the wifi but I can not remember my password to my airport base station what do I do?

    Reset it.. or find the old password.
    Plug the computer into the airport by ethernet.. or you can do this by wireless..
    Press in reset button for just 1sec.. (means less than 10sec)..
    This is called a soft reset.. all passwords go back to default.. public for the base station.. nothing for wireless..
    You now have full access for 5min.. open the airport utility.. click on the airport.. go to passwords.
    Lo and behold.. all your secret identity available to all and sundry.
    Note.. all security on the airport routers is illusionary.. as long as anyone has physical access to it.. they can find out everything.. and what is more.. there is no record once the 5min expires.
    Sure is great for domestic equipment though... stops support calls dead.

  • Can't remember my password for my Game Center account

    Game Center has always signed in automatically from my ipod touch. But all of a sudden not too long ago it asked for my login info and I can't remember my password. There are no FAQs or anything for the app, as far as I can tell, and I don't even know for sure if I'm using the right email address. Any help is appreciated!

  • I can't remember the password for my administrator account!!

    I can't remember the password to the administrator account on my laptop.  I don't have a recovery disk either.  How can I reset my password?  I don't care if I have to do a complete reboot and lose any info.

    Hi,
    You should be able to do this without losing any data - try using a password reset utility such as the free application on the link below.

  • What do you do if you can't remember your password for the auto updates?!!

    Should be the same as your log-in password.

  • Anyone have any idea what to do if you can't remember backup password for iPone in iTunes?

    I can't remember my backup password in iTunes. No problem at present as everythings working fine, but useless if something does go wrong. Wonder if I can delete the old backup and start again or if it will still remember old password. No sign of the password in Keychain utilities.

    Copied from: iTunes: About iOS backups
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
