Password error at laptop startup windows 8.1

Firstly, I cannot understand why MS is so intrusive and over the top in password control at startup.
My machine, and software and I paid for it, therefore I own it together with the right to use it and all its software without interference from some mega-maniacal giant like microsoft!
The only time I should need to login to MS is if I wish to visit the Store or request assistance!
My story,
4 days ago I spilt a glass of sweet sherry over my Acer Aspire 5742 keyboard.
The laptop went dead.
Dismantled laptop to MB, cleaned up sprayed out with isopropyl alcohol rebuilt and all ok.
KB slightly sticky.
Login to laptop rejected, nothing worked. Second computer onhand reset windows PW went back to laptop- no success.
It would seem that the internal Registry control is at fault (my guess) - laptop connected to internet.
Can anyone help.
Thanks, Happy New Year All.

Hi, Roger
Sorry, two problems.
Firstly, with the keyboard malfunctioning it was impossible to blind type the password into the Microsoft account.
When trying to fix the keyboard issue it was necessary to restart or reboot the laptop this caused the requirement to login to the Microsoft account which was impossible. Because I was unable to correct typing because the pw is not visible. Hence my suggestion
that the pw field should be visible text.
I had switched off the requirement for users to login at startup.
My question is “why am I forced by Microsoft to login to my Microsoft account at Startup?”
My observation is that this should not be the case and further that I should not be denied access to my computer.
The keyboard issue is hardware, which I am still struggling with, could software be an issue as well, do you think?
Do you think a replacement keyboard will fix the kb problem?
I have connected a ms wireless kb and mouse via USB to the laptop but the random input errors still occur. This unit works very well on a separate desktop.
Your comments and observations would be most welcome.

Thank you very much and hope your help soon.

Hi there, Have you tried the following:
- Virus Check
- Registry Clean
if you hae recently installed something and the issue wasn't present when installing then try doing a system restore which is when you computer rolls back to a time you specified
to do a system restore go over to the charms bar, Or windows key > q and type in the search box system restore and press enter, don't click on any of the answers... after pressing enter a new windows should appear with about 4 search results, press on
the one labelled create a system restore point, Once clicked press ok to any administrator prompts that appear and click on 'System restore' which is on the system protection page ypu can either choose recommended or custom, ypu can see what programs will
be affected by the recommended rool back by clicking the 'Scan for affected programs' text if you pick custom then pick a restore point you know the computer was functioning at.
I hope this helps

Errors in Tomcat startup window

Hi!
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.24 and have been testing out a simple shopping cart application that uses 3 servlets called Selection, Weight and Checkout. (This is an appplication of mine that works fine under the JSWDK.) Before I added the files for the shopping cart application, my web.xml file (in ROOT\WEB-INF) referred to a single existing servlet called FirstServlet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>FirstServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/FirstServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
In this form, there are no error messages when starting up the Tomcat server.
I then modified the web.xml file to refer to the additional servlets so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>FirstServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/FirstServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Selection</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Selection</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Selection</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/Selection</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Weight</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Weight</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Weight</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/Weight</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Checkout</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Checkout</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Checkout</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/Checkout</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Now, when I start up the Tomcat server, I get a series of error lines commencing with the following:
27-Jun-2003 10:13:03 org.apache.commons.digester.Digester error
SEVERE: Parse Error at line 49 column 11: The content of element type
"web-app" must match "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,
context-param*,filter*,filter-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mapping*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,
taglib*,resource-env-ref*,resource-ref*,security-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*,ejb-local-ref*)".
at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown source)
Line 49 column 11 is the character position immediately following my terminating </web-app> tag.
Evidently, I need to include some further tags between those relating to consecutive servlets above in order to avoid these error messages. Does anybody know what is required here??
As it happens, Tomcat starts up successfully after producing these error messages and there is no problem with the running of the shopping cart application (which is the main thing, of course!), but I really would like to get rid of the error messages.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.
Jan

Please don't bother trying to answer my email. I've just realised what the simple solution is -- I must have all the <servlet> tags before all the <servlet-mapping> tags.
Cheers.

Week old laptop with Windows 8.1 giving blank screen at Startup

I have a HP Laptop. I don't know the exact model number but it has the following configuration :- Intel Core-i5 4210u
1.7Ghz Processor, Nvidia 820M GPU and 4GB RAM. It came preinstalled with Windows 8.1
Now this is my problem :-
Whenever I power-up the laptop by using the power-button, I get the Windows 8 logo and than instead of the login-screen it
gives me a black screen. Its not even a black screen, the display is exactly as it is when the laptop turned off(nothing
at all on the screen). But I know that the laptop is running because the power button and caps-lock key is illuminated.
Now I discovered that in order to get to the Login Screen, I have to manually close the lid and open it. This however does
not work everytime. How can I fix it.
Please someone help me. It is a new laptop and I can't return it because I bought t from a different country

Hello svmpua,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you are having issues with a blank display on your new notebook. It would help to know which product you are using. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
In the meantime I would suggest going through this document for your issue: Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.
You may also want to confirm if this is a hardware or software issue. Does the BIOS screen load properly? You can access this by repeatedly tapping F10 while the computer turns on. If this does not load properly try an external monitor to determine if it is a hardware problem. If it does load OK, you may want to try safe mode and see if the display works properly there.
Furthermore, it could be the physical connections on the display cable. Opening and closing the lid may be wiggling the cable enough to reseat the connection temporarily. You can see how to reseat that connection in the Service and Maintenance Guide. This will not void your warranty as long as you follow the directs. You can find the guide in the User Guides section of the support page for your product, which will require the exact product or model number.
You may also want to read this document about HP's Global Warranty: Global Warranty and FAQs. In short this shows you still have protection even if the unit is purchased in another country, but the coverage depends on part availability in the country you are currently located in. You can always try calling HP Phone Support, they may be able to provide service for you. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
I look forward to your reply!

try this...
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore. is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

2- Download PC LoginNow. Click the .exe file to extract the ISO file and use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a cd. Boot the laptop with the cd to clear password.Download and Guides HERE
