    I forgot the administrator's password. I'm not able to log in to windows. It says, "did you forgot the password?" whenever i try to log in. How do i reset forgotten Windows 7 admin password without losing data?

    In your
    your situation,you can recover your password form Safe Mode.Windows 7 system has a built-in administrator account that is created during Windows installation and disable by default, which has no password in it. You need to enable that account before forgetting
    your other admin account password. Otherwise your built-in administrator account won’t appear in the screen in this tip.
    Step 1: Start your win 7 computer and press “F8″ while the computer boots up. Scroll down to “Safe Mode with Command Prompt” with the arrow keys on the keyboard and press “Enter.” Your computer starts in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
    Step 2: Select the Administrator account that appear in the screen, then enter command prompt. Type: net user ****** 123456 and enter (****** is the account name and 123456 is the new password), it will show you a message that” the command completed successfully.
    Step 3: Restart your win 7 computer, then you can log in as ****** with the password 123456. You can go to control Panel to change your account password if necessary.
    If this
    way doesn't work you can try a tool named Windows Password Recovery Tool Ultimate.

    Actually, I think that's how you are supposed to do it. The default is usually welcome, but I'm pretty sure there's a jazn-data.xml file that contains the password encrypted. You can manually edit it there, then restart it and it should work.

  • HT1766 I forgot the password for the backup, how to reset?

    I forgot the password for the backup, how to reset?

    There is no way to reset. Once you have forgotten the password for the backup, you can no longer use that backup. You will need to delete that backup and remove the checkmark by Encrypt backup so you would be able to use backups again.

    Forgot my password on Airport Extreme - how to reset?

    the information told me to update firmware first, but a password is needed to update this and I forgot the password. So I skipped this part and it worked for me. Thank you. The manual said to hold the reset button for no more than 1 sec, your info said 10 secs. This did the trick. Appreciate it.

    I forgot my appleID security answers and dont know how to reset them

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I forgot my password for the laptop can I reset the password ?

    I have my apple id but I've forgotten the password for the computer can I reset it some how?

    You router has two passwords.
    1)  The router login password must be given to login to the router and see the router settings.  The default password is "admin".  If you changed the password and cannot remember it, the only option is to reset the router to factory defaults (using the reset button), then setup the router again from scratch.
    2)  The router also has an optional wireless encryption password.  To find this password, login to your router, and click on the "Wireless" tab, "Wireless Security" sub tab.  Here you will see your encryption method.  Nearby you will see your "key"  (sometimes called password or passphrase).  If you want to reset your key to something different, you can change it here, then click the "Save Settings" button, and wait (3 to 60 seconds) for the screen to refresh.  If you change your key in the router, you will need to change it on all your computers.
    For WEP, enter WEP "key 1"  (found in the router) into your computer, not the password or passphrase.
    For WPA or WPA2, enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.
    Also note that if you are using WPA2 encryption, and if your computer is using Windows XP, then the computer will need to be upgraded to SP3 to do WPA2.  Vista already supports WPA2.
