Go into Safe Mode, the log in using the
Default Administrator's logon, now reset the windows password to anything you like - but be warned, it may be a good idea to write it down somewhere just in case you forget it again.

i WOULD LIKE TO U ASK U HOW CAN I REMOVE THE PASSWORD FOR MY OPERATING SYSTEM WITHOUT FORMATTING OR REINSTALLING MY COMPUTER

by rob miners

are missing the point. You are on the wrong site to ask this sort of question. We will not participate in probable illegal access. I will give you a clue. Google is your friend.

Even if the individual is merely experiencing a senior moment and has legitimately forgotten the pass, we can never know that. So no one gets the answer. But we sure repeat it often enough!

And to think that there are those who say that life has no purpose, when we've obviously discovered ours.

Open up your system
pull out the HDD
hit it with a sledgehammer, it will 'crack' for you.
buy a new HDD and re-install Windows.

Sucked ROCKS!!!!!

I had been in a 6 month contract that literally died after 4 months. Gave up a better contract to do it, too.

Today was my last day. They told me yesterday. So while they could have given me enough time to try to transition everything, instead they gave me two days. And I refused to do additional work on my time. They got an extra 10 minutes from me today.

To keep things interesting, they expected me to transition the whole of my knowledge to a woman who is too ridiculous to spell her own name correctly. She sure as h3ll doesn't know anything about security... which is likely to be the reason thy want to retain her.

And this woman has been running to the senior leadership telling them that I am culturally biased against persons from other countries. I tailor training to insure that I don't lose my other cultured work partners and insure that they understand the requirements so that they can KEEP their jobs. But in her words, I'm a racist.

Today SERIOUSLY sucked scissors. Cocktail hour needs to begin NOW! I am pretty pissed.

Sorry to dump. everyone has a bad day. Today was mine.

You have both my sympathy and empathy.

I try not to. Life is truly too short to let someone else's dandruff to affect my hair.

Incidentally, I do believe that your Latin statement is going to be my next screensaver!

by w2ktechman

I had no idea, wow, what a shocker. You always seem to have a level head here. Even in your previous post today.
As for a racist.....well, maybe if you stopped beating up kids.........lol
Tomorrow is another day, I would'nt worry too much. Its now the weekend -- yeah -- and here in California, it is warm, nice weather (88 F. today) and it looks great for the weekend. That is unless we have a big earthquake, or aliens invade or something.
Go party and forget about it till Monday. And remember, if you are drunk and having fun all weekend, you may even forget the name of the place by Monday, or even what a job is...

I was once canned where they manager thought that I did everything wrong, (I have brought this up before). After 2 weeks I got a call asking me if I wanted my job back. Even though I really needed the money, I said H3ll No. A week later I was working another contract.

I keep telling you that I did NOT bounce that innocent child. Can we all say "Wardrobe Malfunction"???

As a native Californian currently hiding in the Midwest, I feel it reasonable to warn you that CA is due to fall into the ocean. I do not have a timeline on that event, but I have been hearing the warnings for the last 40 years. Bound to happen sometime.

Sure hope you can swim! :)

by rob miners

that Tig. I can only suggest that you keep a stiff upper lip and don't let unkindly remarks get to you:)

by tig2

Just completely flabbergasted that anyone would say such a thing.

What made it all the odder was that I had such a great relationship with all of the other cultured people I worked with. She was the only one to voice such an issue. Very strange.

Oh well. On to the next thing!

by ontheropes

What a frickin', fricked-up, fricking Friday this has been!!!

Today I learned that one of the places I used to work had a "D-Day" wherein they shut down another local Division, fired all of their old foremen and put another 100 or so people on the streets looking for the same job that I am.

It's just a dang good thing that GW's boys say we're down to only 4% unemployment. I'd be worried otherwise.

Baaaa....

Y'all can take cuts in front of me in the UE line anytime. (Figure of speech)

The rest of my language here would be censored out so why bother?

You know where I am. If you forgot, just listen for the scream!!!

by tig2

The UE line may see my smiling face yet!

Don't worry. I know what you were going to type.

Since the President thinks we're okay, we MUST be. Oh good. I can quit worrying now.

Sheesh!

That getting information from a Superman movie, and using it as FACT is a bad idea. Get it right, there is no real Superman, it is a comic book, tv show, and movie!!!

Besides, when I can finally afford to buy a house in Arizona, I may have beachfront property if this happens....
Else I will just be looking at a lot of dust!

I am sure that if it happens, I will not need to learn to swim, as I will 'think' really hard and then be able to breathe properly underwater.... Or, I will just get a boat and the bay area will be just like Venice

often hurts.

This seems to be a virus type of thing. About 40% of the IT folks where I work are being laid off for both "RIF" (Reduction In Force) and "COE" redeployment (Center Of Excellence). The company has been selling us on this concept of Centers Of Excellence. Oddly enough, they never refer to the older sites as COEs. I wonder if that means that the New York and London IT staff are not meeting their definition of Excellence. It appears that you have to accept much lower wages, live in a developing nation and be in a completely different time zone to be an Excellent worker.

Upside? Well, at least they gave me several weeks notice...

Still, sorry to hear your news Tig.

But then you always have sounded like such a one sided, bigoted, uncaring, self-centered, ... :p

sorry, can't keep a straight face when making up stuff like that. :)

by tig2

So very sorry to hear that you will be joining the crew at the UE line. That majorly bites.

I am really beginning to wonder if the workforce has any room at all for us old fart techies. I just don't see us valued at all and I wonder why not. I think that we bring value to the table but with so many of us hunting jobs, I wonder if I am fooling myself.

You are in my prayers...
