If Windows 8 or later, refresh your PC.

If Windows 7, try System Restore.

If Windows 8, refresh your computer.

If Windows 7, see if you can do a System Restore from Safe Mode.

dollydolly:


Thanks to you, I have copied out my important files. But I think I landed my self into another gbese.

I followed a link on how to hack forgotten windows 7 password and I mistakenly deleted my system32 in the process.

Do u think it's going to affect the system and how can I retrieve it?

Currently I'm contemplating formating the whole system since I've retrieved my important document.

In the meantime, you can follow the guide here to gain easy access to your important docs.

dollydolly:


Good morning.
I tried this last night but it still didn't work.

Whether you are doing a clean install or an in-place upgrade, backup your important docs still.

Get a flash drive or something.

You can also shrink your hard drive to extract some free space and then use it to create a data partition where you can move your important docs. Thereafter, you can reformat the main partition.

Oguguah:


Please let's just say I'm installing not upgrading 'cos I want to buy the software in CD plate

What did the Engineer do, to try to fix the problem?

What operating system?

What happens when you boot into Safe Mode?

damizy:
Hello ! please my asus s200e minilaptop fails to boot at times and at times when it does it hangs. av taken it to an engineer but stil d same thing. please help .

Good morning.

Your final option is to remove or bypass the password. You can use a third-party program like
http://www.chntpw.com/download/

It's pretty straight-forward. Just carefully follow the guide. If you can't do it on your own, get a tech-savvy person near you to help or visit a computer repair shop.

dollydolly:


Good morning.

I tried this last night but it still didn't work.

If you are upgrading, you will not lose your files. Nonetheless, it is advisable to backup your important docs.

Oguguah:
please I use a fake windows 8, but I want to upgrade my system to windows 8.1 or windows 10. But I don't know if I will lose my documents and files, as I don't have an external hard disk to back up my files. Please, the question is: will I lose my files if I install a higher windows operating system.

Use System Restore to revert to a previous state before the password was changed. Then, try to log in with the previous password. Follow the guide in the link below.

dollydolly:


I created the password 4 days ago and used it last 3days ago. I also worked on my seminar report with the system and charged my phone with it the day before it started rejecting the password.

It's a Windows 7 hp Elite book 6930p.

I already did the BIOS default thing and yet no change.

Loose connection or dead hard drive. Follow the guide in the link below to verify.

ebner70:
Used this mini-laptop last night, then tried to use it this morning but found ds, please who ha ha idea?

What operating system is your PC running?

What was the last thing you did on the PC before the issue started?

- Try restoring BIOS defaults: Reboot the computer and just as soon as it starts to boot, press the appropriate key to enter BIOS setup. It's usually f2 or f10. You have to be very quick to press the key or you might miss it.

In BIOS setup, go to the exit tab and restore BIOS defaults. Save changes and exit.

- Try entering your password via the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard?

If the issue persists, let me know and I'll guide you further.

dollydolly:
Please guys, my laptop started rejecting the password since yesterday. I've tried removing the ba3 and putting it back but it's still same thing.

Pls how do I safely unlock it without losing my files?

Please what should i do!
Thanks

You can't. You have to clear the read-only attribute first.

Update the sound and graphics drivers.

Connect to the Internet and run Windows update.

pharmguru:

It is not totally blank, meaning that you can see some images if you look closer?

If so, it sounds like an issue with the inverter or backlight lamp -- faulty device or broken connection.

otabuko:
the screen dims,it is not totally blank,the sleep light on the power button keep blinking,when i touch any key,it wakes,but desktop screen can't come... Thanks,would check a repair shop.

Go into BIOS setup and restore BIOS defaults.

Did you try other time servers?

Did you adjust the time zone as appropriate?

Stanleyafam:

Please am an undergraduate and am about to get a laptop. I want all the computer gurus In the house to drop their advice's and specs I should go for...
This is gonna be my first laptop so am a complete novice.

ICT is vast. Nobody expects you to know it all. Stick to your major area of specialization and do it well.

You might have good knowledge in other areas as well.

If you need the services of a core coder, you can always partner with or employ one.

Noctis:
I'm not much of a coder but I know hardware and networking.

What error message are you getting?

Stanleyafam:
Please I need help urgently, my windows time won't synchronise with the internet time, i've done all I can, worked on it from date and time settings and even did a command on blackboard yet no change, please I need help cos I can't trade with mismatched time..

Have you tried entering your password using the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard?

emmaosagie:
My password for my laptop pc won't work. i was travelling for some time so i had to unmount the battery and packed it up for say about 4 months. now that i am back for it the password won't open the pc, i am very sure the password is correct because i use one password for all my devices. the laptop runs on windows 7. i need solutions m how to go about this problem cos i have important files i have to get out of the pc. thanks to u all

You're sure that the system boots into Windows? The LEDs light up normally? The screen is totally blank and not actually dimmed?

If yes, then the display monitor might be faulty or the wiring broken. The easiest way to find out is to connect the laptop to an external monitor.

Take the laptop to a computer repair shop and ask them to check the LCD wires.

otabuko:
Good evening Tech gurus, my laptop hp 2000 running on windows 8 doesn't show desktop screen after boot, it just stay blank and go to sleep....thanks in advance for the anticipated help..
