Hidden account

turn on your comp, while window's loads up turn it off, now turn it on again and it'll ask you if you want to boot in safe. If that doesn't work Idk what to tell you

[Haldrie]

Press F8 just before the Windows logo appears.

You will all be happy to know that my problem is fixed

Thanx to those who helped It was just as easy as Drake said it was to put the password. I thought it was different but its cool now.

 

But i would Still like to know how to put on the Password for startup

[Sturmvogel]

The option for enabling a boot up password can usually be found in the Security settings under your bios. If it isn't there, or plainly obvious to see, you may not have the option on your computer.

Not sure if this is the right thing, but if you want to change the password of an account on your PC, and your account is not totally restricted (Like on school comps where you can't edit any files that aren't in My Documents ) you just type this into cmd (Start > Run> cmd):

net user <ACCOUNT NAME> <PASSWORD>

<ACCOUNT NAME> = The name of the account (If you don't know it, just type "net user" and a list will come up)

<PASSWORD> = Any password at all. This is what the password will be set to, even if you don't know the current password.

 

Ooops too late. But hey, this method works anyway.

LoL, i kinda had to figure that one out through trial and error

[Shibathedog]

i was just wondering because i couldnt remember if it was linux that usually uses those or windows, or PHP, or HTML or a combination of things

 

i wish there was one language/command type language that did everything it would be way easier lol, even though thats pretty much impossible

No, here's what it looks like, where the user name is "admin" and the new password will be "h4x0rd":

net user admin h4x0rd
