First try holding the keys Ctrl, Alt and Delete at the same time for three times when computer is on login screen at startup.
This will open a box asking for user ID and password.
In user put 'Administrator', and leave the password blank.

If this does not work, then reinstall Windows, after reinstalling Windows you will be asked to enter new user names.

How to log in

A "log in" typically requires a user name to be entered, then you press tab. (The user name is NOT case sensitive, by the way, i.e. SAM and sam and sAm will all be acceptable if any one of this is your user name.) This takes you to the password dialogue box. You enter the password which is case sensitive. Then you press ENTER or you click "sign in." Your user name works, of course, only if you have a "user account." On home PCs, if there is simply a single user account for which no password was ever made, you simply boot the computer and anyone sitting there has access as well as administrative rights to switch around settings, even though neither you nor they are in the official administrative account, which is separate from the users account. If you want to sign in as Administrator, you must go to the administrative account rather than just powering up. You can find access accounts via the Control Panel.

If you do choose to setup a password, you want to record it somewhere off of the computer.

Metro Pcs Unlock Code

You need to provide your google account in order to login into the phone. While creating the account, you might have given an alternate email address to contact to in case you lost your account. Try accessing that from a pc and look if you can find your forgotten account details there.

Access denied to my western digital external hard drive from my new laptop

I am having the same problem..computer is showing that its there but says its 'unaccessable'...access denied. a few days ago, my computer got turned off due to a power outage. when I turned it back on, the mybook was deleting itself.....It worried me, and it wasn't showing up on my computer for a little bit. eventually it was back on and had backed itself up. Now again after another power outage, it deleted itself and now its just at a stage where its saying access denied. sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just like you, looking for answers. I had so much data on this, please don't tell me that I've lost it!

Troubleshooting motorola pc suite in Vista?

There are 2 solutions to your problem.

First Solution:
This error message is due to the user account access control setting in Vista. To prevent this error from displaying go to the control panel, User settings and then disable the User Account Control settings.

Second Solution:
This alternative that doesn't require disabling User Account Control security in Vista: run MPT as administrator (either by right clicking on the MPT desktop icon and choosing "Run as administrator" or checking the "Run this program as an administrator" box in the Privilege Level section of the Compatibility tab of the MPT properties dialog - right click on the MPT desktop icon, choose "properties" then click the Compatibility tab).

Although you'll get an "An unidentified program wants access to your computer" dialog each time you run MPT, the application should work correctly.

This solution would avoid having to weigh the potential security compromise associated with disabling User Account Control.
