Won't ask for password when waking up from hibernation. by operaflute
Okay, I was forced to buy a new computer two days ago (my old XP Pro Dell is dead - so sad...) Anyway I'm a new Vista user and still setting up the new machine (HP Pavilion dv2911us) to my preferences and I have already encountered a problem. Starting yesterday, Vista no longer asks me for a password when I wake the computer up from hibernation. Then it wouldn't boot at all. I did the...

Logon failure-unknown username or bad password by Upittgrad
I cannot logon to my Admin account after typing the correct password. I try to do a system restore through my guest account, but when I go to system restore, the admin account pops up and asks for the password. I try to reboot in safe mode, but I'm not able to do that either. If anyone has had the same problem, and found a solution, please post it here. Thanks.

How to make a standard profile w/ Default User by Michelle
I am trying to determine how to make a default user profile in Vista like we could do in XP. After reading several posts, I have found where we can copy the profiles over but most mention another step in the registery and one person stated this was not a good idea. Can someone spell out how to completely set up a default user profile after we have it setup as the administrator account?

Hi, We have several users connecting to our Windows 2008 Terminal Services servers via remote desktop. Most users connect from remote offices or their home computers. When we create a new login for these remote users, we select the option "User must change password at next logon".

Inheriting a password locked computer -- what to do? by LSordo
A cousin passed away in July. I have inherited her Acer laptop. My problem is that it is password-protected upon sign in. I've seen people talking about signing in as an admin and the like, but I can't get past the opening password screen. Is there anything I can do to access this computer? Thanks if you can help.

Rename user profile by Judy G[_2_]
My new laptop failed to reboot after the local IT guy unsuccessfully tried to install a printer driver. I had a Microsoft agent reinstall Windows Vista. He also managed to save my data, but now the computer refers to everything as Noname. I renamed the user account, but that didn't change the profile name. I added a new administrator account to get around the problem of not being able to...

I am unable to restore files backed-up via Backup and Restore Center, "Backup Files". I backed up all possible files from my old Vista installation (not knowing it wouldn't include executables--there goes all my archived setup files for purchases programs, but that's another story) to an external USB hard drive. The files were verified at backup. I was able to restore these files to a new...

Parental Controls - "rating service unavailable" by Castor
Hi all I’m having a problem with the Parental Controls in Vista blocking all websites on my kids accounts. Every time they try to go to a website (such as www.amazon.com), IE7 or FF wait for ages and then comes back with a standard Parental Control Blocked screen; but with “rating service unavailable” as the reason for the block. What is going on?
