heres directions on resetting in safe mode if the battery fails

Hold F8 as the computer boots before the os boots and then select Safe Mode option (not the others) The computer will boot up from here, but there should be an additional "Administrator" account. Log in to this account (There shouldn't be a password, but if there is, try "admin") and navigate to the User account panel in control panel. From there, select your account name, and select the "Remove Password" option

There should be a monitor in the task bar below. If not to to depending on your operating system find control panel look for battery then place icon on the task menu on desktop. That way you can see the progress of your battery being charged. John

press ctrl + alt + del and see if a menu screen appears if it does select task manager then click file and click new task and type explorer and press enter. See if that allows you to start windows. If it doesnt restart the computer and keep pressing f8 till you get a menu up askingif you want to start normally etc choose safe mode, select it with the up and down arrow keys and press enter. when windows loads up choose administrator and log in you will then have to setup a new user account. click start > control panel > user accounts. Create a new user account (dont use the same name as you used before if your user account name was kyle call the new one kyle1. then restart the laptop again and try to log into the new user account. Report back if you can and i will explain how to recover your old account

Hello.

There is a hidden Administrator account that is created when your operating system is installed. Access that account and then reset your password.

1. Boot your computer and press F8 repeatedly
2. Access Safe Mode
3. Key in "Administrator" in Username, with no password.
4. Go to Control Panel, then User Accounts
5. Select the account you want to reset the password
6. Change the password

Hope this helps

You should have access in the control panel and a button there to put the icon back onto the task-bar.

Try this:

• Turn off the User Account Control (UAC)
• Reboot your computer into Safe Mode
• Try to install your software
• Once the software is installed you can reboot into Normal Mode

Note1: To turn UAC off:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
   
2. In Control Panel, click User Accounts.
   
3. In the User Accounts window, click User Accounts.
   
4. In the User Accounts tasks window, click Turn User Account Control on or off.
   
5. If UAC is currently configured in Admin Approval Mode, the User Account Control message appears. Click Continue.
   
6. Clear the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box, and then click OK.
   
7. Click Restart Now to apply the change right away, or click Restart Later and close the User Accounts tasks window.
   

Note 2: To boot into Safe Mode, when your computer starts booting, tap the F8 key repeatedly. You will get a menu to choose Safe Mode.

This is some kind of problem with the user access control. I could fix it by disabling it. Here's how to disable it..
Here’s the step to disable and turn off UAC (User Access Control) feature for the logged on user account in Windows Vista (there are plenty more ways to disable UAC):

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. In “Control Panel”, click User Accounts and Family Safety.
3. In the “User Accounts and Family Safety” window, click User Accounts.
4. In the “Make changes to your user account” tasks window, click Turn User Account Control on or off.
5. If UAC is currently configured in Admin Approval Mode, the User Account Control message appears. Click Continue.
6. Clear the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box, and then click OK.
7. Click Restart now to apply the change immediately, or click Restart Later to close the User Accounts tasks window. Note that you must reboot the system to make the change effective.
