Laptop Password

[sayward]

Desperately need to change my password. Is it really as simple as going to user accounts? Or will I manage to lock myself out? @Deebs

ctrl alt delete?

 

[sayward]

user accounts?

 

[Gwadien]

should say 'change password' if it's Windows 7+ Vista maybe

 

[sayward]

Still havent' plucked up the courage to do this, have fears of locking myself out. New question. Why has my laptop started switching itself on in the middle of the night? Just to the user screen.

You have probably changed something in the powersaver menu. Or the battery is fucked from being plugged in all the time. Or its overheating and rebooting itself.

Changing the password is easy, it wont let you fuck it up so long as you remember your new password. Just press "change password" wherever it says it. ctrl+alt+del on windows 7 and somewhere in the user controls ye olde XP.

You might have some "scheduled tasks" that have the "wake the computer up" option ticked

@sayward How do you access these forums?

 

[sayward]

Been coming on here for so long I've forgotten how I did it in the first place!

 

[sayward]

ctrl alt delete?

I did it! I did it! I did it!

 

[Gwadien]

I did it! I did it! I did it!

Was it hard?

Was it hard?

No a doddle. Having not done it before I was worried I'd lock myself out!

Actually. Scratch that - you can use a web browser
