Well I never thought I would be here. I was doing regular check-up on all computers when the
wife gave me her Dell Inspiron Mini, forgot the password I was told this problem is new to me./ No clue
Dell Inspiron Mini OS XP
What do I do
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)

Western Digital WD My Passport 2 TB external hard drive
Western Digital's security software allows a password to be set on the external drive, encrypting it. When the drive is connected to a PC, a virtual CD (VCD) partition runs (via autorun) an unlocker utility WD Drive Unlock.exe, that allows password entry.
When I connect the locked drive to a Windows 7 PC (that does not have any WD software installed), the autoun popup appears and I select "Run WD Drive Unlock.exe". At that point, User Account Control (UAC) elevation prompt appears, requiring Administrator
password in order to continue.
WD Drive Unlock then lets me enter password.
Because of UAC elevation, the unlocker can be used only by an Administrator user or by a standard user account who knows the Administrator password.
QUESTION
Is UAC elevation prompt truly necessary?
Is it appearing because Western Digital hasn't coded the unlocker exe correctly, or would any such utility require UAC elevation?
I'd like to find a way that a standard user account can run the unlocker to enter passsword and access the external drive, without having to know the Windows Admin password.
1st of all, im not sure in which topic i have to post this issue,
sorry if im post it in wrong page
Problem:
unlock.exe <-- using this software, its locked all the access, and unable to unlock,
/me if this software run has admin, we can unlock it back,
but, the rite click was disabled,
to repair registry, locked too,
to access C:, locked too...
Its all checked - have to unchacke

In Windows XP if a user locked their pc I could simply unlock it using my user name and password because I am the network administrator. This does not seem to work in Windows 7. Is there some setting to return to the way it used to be in XP?
unfortunately; i do not believe there is a way to do such a thing because windows 7 is pretty much a updated version of windows vista whereas xp was completely different in terms of the architecture of the operating system as vista and 7 I would say are more secure than xp by a long shot.
Read other 1 answersI spilled something on mouse the other day and as a result I cannot right-click. Instead, I press shift and click. For some reason, lately, I have not been able to do this. I also notice that the function key is not doing anything and the F1-12 buttons work without it, as if the Fn is locked. Does anyone know how to change this back? I can't right click at all anymore and its kind of annoying.
A 5 button mouse costs around $15. What's your excuse for trying to fix it? Just replace it.
I do have PC based on Gigabyte 970A-DS3P motherboard, I bought it already assembled, and out of the box it had this 3TB Hdd Unlock program installed. I would have to reinstall my system soon and I was wandering what exactly this software is for? What is it do? Will I need it when I'll reinstall my system or not really?
It's most likely intended to allow you to see and be able to use all of a large drive.
Windows can only see and utilize about 2.2 TB on a drive that is initialized as MBR. If you had a 3 or 4 TB drive, the portion above 2.2 would be useless and not even visible.
The standard way around that is to initialize as GPT, rather than MBR. GPT doesn't have that 2.2 TB limitation.
BUT--some motherboard manufacturers have provided downloadable software that can overcome the MBR limitation. It tricks Windows, so that you can see and use the portion above 2.2 TB. I'm not sure if it's usable on drives larger than 3 TB. I'm pretty sure that's what Gigabyte has provided to you in this case. I'd guess you have a 3 TB drive and the builder knew of the limitation, so used this special Gigabyte download.
It doesn't have anything to do with installing Windows per se. If your drives are under 2.2 TB you don't need it or if you can initialize the drive as GPT rather than MBR, you don't need it. Otherwise, you do need it, unless you don't care about not being able to use all of a large drive.
Is it when you start the computer or when you login. Here is the login password reset.

Hi, and welcome to TSG.
That would depend on the details and specifics about the hardware, operating system, and how the drive was locked; none of which you have shared with us.
Hey,
I have locked my usb with password and it gets unlocked in my dell laptop. But I have recently changed my laptop with no access to old laptop. I have forgotten the password for usb. I don't know how to get the recovery key of my old laptop. I was using dell Vostro 14 series with windows 10 in it. And now I am using Lenovo notepad with windows 10. Can you help me with a way to unlock the usb as it is urgent.

Hey guys, i'm currently running a system with a p4p800 se m/b and a p4 2.4Ghz proc. with 1.5gb of ddr 400 ram 2 X 512mb and 2 X 256mb. The problem i'm having is that, my bios sets my fsb at 133 and my ram speed to 266mhz, what i'd like to know is if there is a custom bios or something that can help me unlock the multiplier. I have overclocked my processor to 3.2Ghz and it's running cooler with my cpu cooler but that only pushes my ram to 333mhz. Can you help me?
P4s are multi locked. There are hardware hacks to unlock however I never recommend doing so.
If it is just that your ram speed increases and you do not want it to, just use a lower divider or ram speed. When you raise the fsb, it is back to where it should be.
i forgot the password i used to lock my lockbox on my computer before i cracked the screen

Guys...how do I unlock my multiplier? on my Pentium 4? This might sound like a stupid question, but I seriously don't know how to.

does a lower multiplier and an increased front side bus raise your performance?

See the following Microsoft site:How to log on to your Windows XP-based computer if you forget your password or if your password expiresApart from that you won't get much help here I'm afraid, as it is against forum rules to discuss methods to defeat password protection.
Read other 2 answersIf I have a rar file I downloaded awhile back but it was password protected, is there any programs I can get for free that can unlock it for me?
Welcome to BC sko!
Well, there isnt really anyway that I know of to unlock a password protected Rar file. There are programs on the internet which say that can unlock Rar files, but I doubt they do what they really say. Also, if you know where you downlaoded the file from, maybe it says what the password is near the link etc.
EDIT: Actually, when I think about it I dont know if this topic is allowed because it involves cracking passwords.

Hi there
Can't you sign in to your laptop using a LOCAL account.
I must admit I haven't seen this problem before - but I can't for the life of me think why I should ever want to start up a laptop in anything OTHER than Local mode (unless I'm using a Work laptop on a Work Lan - and all that does is attach Lan Drives and login to the company VPN--if Lan isn't up it will still log on to a Local Windows installation although half the applications won't be available.

I'm having a problem connecting my laptop to an external monitor. I've encountered this problem a few times now. My external monitor will just stop working one day, and the only way I've found to fix it is to delete the keys located in the EFI partition.
After the keys are deleted I can reset EFI in the BIOS and the monitor will then be detected by Windows. It's getting to be really annoying having to reset EFI every couple days. So, I decided to see if I could unlock the EFI partition and try to remedy this problem.
So far I managed to set the partition as a basic data partition using SET ID=ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
Next, I assigned it a drive letter. But if I try to explore the contents I get an error saying "I don't have permission".
Does anyone know how to assign the correct permissions??
Not sure the EFI partition is related to your situation. But would you describe how you are "Deleting the keys" and what type of keys they are?
Are you running Windows 8 in the Secure Boot mode? Are you referring to the keys associated with that?

Have error saying Missing operating system. While trying to refresh files win says the drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again. How do I unlock the drive? Acer laptop no help in bios.
That means a password was inputted in the bios to lock the drive. There is no way around that hardware lock, no matter what you try. Because it is stored in the firmware on the circuit board. Some manufacturers will also store a duplicate lock on the drive platter itself.

A friend has Vista (Home Edition) and accidentally clicked on the Lock button.
Now when she tries to boot up all she gets is a black screen.
I am not familiar with Vista but wondered if booting into Safe Mode and doing a System Restore would work. Last time I suggested a System Restore she said there were no recent points and she had to go back weeks.
Is there any other option in Safe Mode to get her booting normally again? Her computer is only a year old and she did not receive a Vista disc with it
Thanks
Shut down the computer for a cold boot. Tap the "F8" key as you are booting.
Select "Safe Mode with networking" from the boot menu.
Log into windows Vista with your personal account that holds the administrator access.
Open a command window (START--->RUN--->CMD.exe). At the command prompt type the following "net user administrator /active".
And that’s it. Log out and log back in as administrator.
