Hi,
just got win7 ultimate, i got it with an admin/admin account, created a new admin account, and then deleted the old one, also changed the computer name etc...
one weird thing happens im not sure if its related... When i lock the computer, or gets locked by scrsaver etc, when i try to logon it gives me incorrect password, i then click switch user and type my password and its ok..
happen to anyone??
Please fill in your system specs so we know what we're dealing with...Help us help you
Is this a computer that was given to you??
yes it was given to me exactly.
its a LG Laptop e500.
Disable the settings
- User must enter password when coming out of standby.
- Screen saver - On resume, display logon screen
The former users password has been entered there, independent of the User Account.
I think there is one more place, but I am not remembering it.
Anyway, disable those. When you re-enable them, if you do, you will be prompted to enter a password.
tks antman, but what about when i leave the computer and press win-l? i get the same error still, and i use it alot...
of course..i didnt liked it came already installed but i dont have the binaries of 7 yet
its not a major hassle but still
i wonder if its the keyboard settings..ill change to a simpler password
edit:
WOW weird..i try to change the password and it gives me wrong password..i logged off and login and i logged............
anothor annoying thing when i install some apps like visual studio i still get user admin and not my own and i have removed admin user :/
bug?
No, not a bug. The easiest thing would be to contact the person who entered the original password.
Visual Studio grabbed the name Admin from the registered user files when installed.
Try this:
Create a new user account.
or
Start, Run - netplwiz
Advanced
Manage Passwords
Thks antman,
netplwiz and then advanced, advanced, set password. solved the problem :)
