  • How can i unlock my dell laptop if i forgot the administrator password?

    Dear Sir,
    I forgot my dell laptop administrator password and locked out of the laptop, now i have to use my laptop to finish the home work, how can i unlock my dell laptop if i forgot
    the administrator password?
    Thanks in advance!

    Forgot dell laptop administrator password? It would be very frustrated if you are urgent to use the laptop but locked out of it.
    Here are the methods
    how to unlock dell laptop forgot password. I hope it will be helpful for you.
    Method 1: Reset password on your dell laptop with password reset disk
    This method only works when you have
    created a password reset disk before you forgot password.
    <1>. On your dell laptop logon screen, press
    Enter directory, and then a password incorrect hint pups up, click on
    OK to close it.
    <2>. Click
    Reset password… bellow the password text box.
    <3>. When the password reset wizard appears, click
    Next.
    <4>. Insert the password reset disk, click
    Next.
    <5>. Type in
    new password, and the new password hint, click
    Next, click Finish.
    <6>. Then you can login with the new password.
    Method 2: Unlock your laptop password with Offline NT Password and Registry Editor
    If you have not created a password reset disk before, you can create a live cd or bootable usb with Offline NT Password Registry Editor which is a freeware program. It is base on the text console, so it
    may be a difficult to carry out.
    Here are the main steps to use Offline NT password registry editor:
    <1>.
    Get Offline NT Password Registry Editor and use it to create a live cd or bootable usb.
    <2>.
    Set your dell laptop to boot with the cd or usb.
    <3>. Follow the instruction to finish the operation when the password reset program starts.

  • I have recently changed my admin password on my mac and now I cant remember it, to re change it in admin I need the old password, what can I do ?

    Have forgotten administrators password, what can I do?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

    Hi there!
    A bad situation. BBs are designed secure. There is no backdoor password. There is no way for anyone to tell you your password. Quite simply, once you exceed the maximum number of allowed failed attempts, your BB will wipe clean. There is no way to avoid it. You are about to migrate from the latter to the former of this statement:
    There are two kinds of computing device users: Those who have lost data, and those who will.
    Backups are not a reactive activity -- they are preventive. And you have already lost your chance to prevent your data loss.
    Sorry.

  • Tecra 9100 -I forgot my BIOS password - what can I do?

    Hello, I hope I'm posting my thread in the correct part of Your forum...
    My question is - is there anything I could do if I forgot my BIOS password for the Toshiba Tecra t9100 LapTop?
    Model no: pt910e-0049g-dk
    Thanks in advance for Your swift reply

    No, the problem isn't caused by the dirty laser lens...
    When I power-On the LapTop, it displays big red
    "Toshiba in touch with tomorrow" logo
    (and the CD Rom led flashes),
    but then it displays:
    "Ide #1 Error" message
    (and the CD rom stops flashing then.)
    Then I'm stuck as the following message is "Missing Operating System".
    Hoverer - it might be interesting to mention that right after the "Ide #1 Error" message is displayed - the CD Rom appears to be completely "dead" then (won't even eject the disk by pressing the eject button UNTIL I RESTART THE LAPTOP?!)
    I guess that the LapTop attempts to address the CD rom, and due to some reason it can't address it, then it kills the power supply to the CD rom (or what else could explain rejection in ejecting the CD Rom door AFTER the "Ide #1 Error" message)
    I will try to get another CD rom just to clear is this the problem on the CD Rom side or on the LapTop side...
