Password locked out

I had my EMachine desktop in storage for a year and when I got it out and hooked everything up it now says I need a password to get into the computer. I have tried every password I could think of, to no avail. Is there a way to override this without losing the other things I have in my computer??

SOURCE: system recovery

hello,

Yes, everything will be lost when you use system recovery, but if you can do backup you files in your computer, you can do system recovery., So if you cannot back up your files maybe i suggest you to scan your computer online. www.precisesecurity.com/antivirus/online-scan.htm

and then uninstall all the unwanted programs, after scanning you should install antivirus, i recommend AVG, free edition, (search in google)downloadable. if you connected to the computer.

but if you has been backup you can proceed to system recovery using the CD installation disk.

may this help, melnavz

PS:
pls do not rate me if my solution not solve the issue and you need more further information. but if is invaluable solution rate me fixya.

SOURCE: forgotten log on password

Well you can use the admisintrator account you set up to begin with or any other account that has admin abilities to change the password.  But if you dont have that then you will have to hack the password to change it.
to do that go to source forge and download ophcrack live cd http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ and burn it to cd.

Then boot to the cd.  (put it in the drive and rebioot then hit key when asked to boot to cd.  you may have to go into your bios and activate cd as a boot device.)
Then it will start to crack the password (I say crack for a lack of a better word)
Once its done you chould see a list of passwords found.
Write down the one you need and then reboot the computer without the cd in the drive.
Then when it asks for password use the one you wrote down and then imediately go to users and change the password to something you will remember.
hope this helps.

SOURCE: Hooking up printer to computer

As long as you have a suitable connector, either USB, the new standard or a parallel port (old) and an appropriate cable, it should work fine. I'm not sure if E-Machines even sells printers, and if they do, they are most likely made by someone else.

I forgot my password to my emachine desktop computer and i don't have the disk

Open up the case and remove the watch battery for 5 to 10 minuets.This resets everything back to factory specs.You need to be grounded on the frame and if you have never been inside your desktop then let a tech do it.Just a static electric y spark will fry your motherboard .

My Emachine was in storage for awhile, I brought it home hooked it up Hit the power Button and Nothing happened!

Check the power switch on the power supply. If it has one make sure it is on (1) and not off (0). Also check the red ac-type switch, make sure it is on 110v and not 220v. Good luck!

The wireless network may be encrpyted with a wep password. So you will need to check this in the network when you see the detected network click connect. you will be promted for a wep password.

Second thing you will need to check if you must specify and ip address. a subnet and a gateway address or leave it dynamic that is it will find an Ip address and everything automatically by itself.

Forgotten password

As far as I know you could possibly do that but there could be a slight chance that it might not work!
If it does not work then the best that I can hope for you to do is to call up a computer tech. and have them to work out all of the bugs in the computer. In fact i'll give you the number to a guy in South Carolina, his name is Dwight Welsh but just call him mister Welsh! His cell phone number is (910) 494-7467, he is my father and he is such a computer nerd. So if you need any more help with your computer then you can just call him!
