Reset my password on my windows vista

how do i get a disk for free to reset my password for windows vista cnt rember it

Hi,
Try the following.
Using another PC, download the application on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
PC Login Now
When the download has completed, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer - this will result in another file appearing which is the disc image ( .ISO ) that you need to burn to a blank CD.
You will now need to use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this ISO correctly to a blank CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
When the disc has been created, shutdown the PC you can't log-in on, tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter - you may also have to 'Press any key' to boot from the CD if asked.
Follow the instructions on the guide Here to remove the current password.

  • SYSTEM and SYS password 11g on Windows Vista

    Hello
    I am having trouble. I do not know my SYSTEM and SYS passwords. I am using oracle 11g on windows vista. I tried to change the passwords but that did not work. I tried this:
    c:/>sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    c:/>show user
    c:/>passw system
    then I changed the password. When I tried to log in the password change did not take effect. Any help would be great!

    Hi,
    There is no default password for sys and system in 11g.
    you cna use the below command to change the system or sys password
    alter user SYSTEM identified by PASWORD
    same for sys
    nOTE: password are case sensitive.Regards,

  • Windows Vista Ultimate Password

    I have a HP Pavillion Vista Ultimate, Windows.
    I finally got past the admistrative code,,....and now I am tring to sign in to Windows and the programs I have on my laptop,...unforunately I, apparently keep putting the wrong password in.

Of course I should have written them down, but didn't,...just trying to start again. Any and all help from one of you gurus/geniuses would be greatly appreciated,...and oh yeah, I 'will' be writing these down,..if I reset,....thanks so very much for sharing your knowledge.....Maxie.

  • Reseting the Hashed Password after enabling Windows File Sharing

    Disclaimer: you'll need a good bit of knowledge about OS X, UNIX, and encryption to understand what I'm talking about.
    All right, so normally OS X hashes user passwords using a salted SHA1 encryption. It uses shadowing so that you can't obtain the actual hash value using "% nidump passwd".
    BUT, if you enable Windows File Sharing, all that changes. OS X re-hashes your password using the much less secure LANMAN encryption. This allows Windows machines to access your files. (LANMAN is what Windows used to encrypt passwords up through Windows ME. Later versions of Windows use NTLM instead, which is stronger.) This is why, the first time you enable Windows File Sharing, OS X warns you that enabling the feature will require your password to be stored in a less secure manner; it's downgrading the hash from SHA1 to LANMAN.
    My question is: I'm done sharing files with idiot Windows users - how do I force OS X to go back to storing my password using SHA1?
    Thanks guys.
    -Bryan

    Thanks biovizier. You're absolutely right, deleting the extra text after ";shadowHash;" and then reseting the password for the user's account does seem to force OS X to rehash the password using SHA1.
    Just in case someone else has this question in the future, here's how to verify that your password is hashed in SHA1:
    Log in as Root and open the /private/var/db/shadow/hash folder. You'll see files with long, weird names. You'll also see an XML file (with the extension *.state) for each of the files with long, weird names. The XML file contains several tags that tell OS X information about the hashed password - things like when it last logged on, when it was created, how many times login failed, etc.
    We're interested in the other files - the ones that don't end in ".state"
    To verify that SHA1 is being used, open the long, weird files in textedit. You should see something like this:

    00000000000000000000000000000
    The second Hashed value does not start with zeros. This hash value is not SHA1. It is the less secure encryption method required for compatability with Windows.
    If your hash file opens with zeros, you're using SHA1. Otherwise, follow Biovizier's procedure: Open NetInfo, select the user account whose password needs to be changed back to SHA1, look at the "authentication_authority" value, make sure the value is set to ;ShadowHash; and that no additional text follows that string, then reset the affected account's password. You can then log back in as root and re-check the hash files using textedit and you should find that the hash file opens with solid zeros instead of letters and numbers.
    Do NOT manually edit the hash files in textedit. One of those files is the hash for the Root password. If you change that hash file, your root password will no longer work (because when you type MYPASSWORD, OS X will hash that string and find that the hashed value no longer matches the stored hash value in /private/var/db/shadow/hash and OS X will therefore reject your password as incorrect) and you will quickly find yourself locked out of your computer for good.
    And finally, just in case you have the computing power of the NSA and are thinking about running the hashes I've listed here: A) They aren't the right length; I've left some characters out and B) I randomly substituted different alphanumerics in for the ones in my real hashes with no rhyme or reason.
    Which brings me to another point: NEVER post your hashes online. Yes, it takes a TON of computing power to break them, but still, they're hidden away for a reason!
    Anyway, I hope this helps other security buffs out there.
    I'm going to make a suggestion to Apple that OS 10.5 be changed so that when you unclick "windows file sharing" the OS immediately rehashes your password in SHA1 again.
    -Bryan

  • How to import passwords on windows vista

    firefox wont save password for facebook i am using windows vista any help please

    The main Facebook login page uses '''autocomplete="off"''' to prevent the username and password from being saved, and Firefox respects that code.
    This bookmarklet makes the browser ignore autocomplete="off" temporarily, allowing you to save passwords. <br />
    Remember Password bookmarklet: <br />
    https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
    Or you can use this extension to manually add the username and password to Firefox for the Facebook domain. <br />
