your going to need PHYSICAL access to the machine… so if your trying to break your servers at work, and you don’t have a key to the server room, your not gonna like this entry.

loginrecover.com offers free password recovery…

Recover password

i’ve only used the product with the floppy disk, and now-a-days some computers don’t have that, so i’m not real sure on how to go about it, but i’m sure the site has great instructionsstick the floppy in, it runs when you boot… (pending bios… make sure your floppy is set to boot first), when it runs it writes back to the floppy, and you then eject the disk and restart…

go to a different computer, and upload whatever was saved to the floppy to loginrecovery.com and they will send you the password in a few days… (there is a que of people waiting)… they do have a pay version, where you will get the password within an hour or something like that… it only costs like 12 bucks!!! it’s totally worth it.

I can’t really stress how cool this site is, and how it absolutely SAVES your butt, when in desperate need…

so this is why everyone should kinda lock up their machine right? as in, get a lock on your door to your office, and lock up… otherwise you risk giving away your password….

like i said, i haven’t tried this for a while… but someone called me and asked where they could do it, and i referred them to this… it’s a great site, and totally useful.

When i print a test page it just sits in the windows print spooler.

I stopped the Print spooler by going to the command prompt (Click Start > Run > type: “cmd” without the quotes) and typed “NET STOP SPOOLER”

Then go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS and delete the files

then restart the print spooler by typing “NET START SPOOLER” at the command prompt

That didn’t work either…

So I got mad, and tried to just delete the printer, and windows gives me this message: “Printer cannot be removed. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost it’s connection to the server. For more information, Click Help.”

I clicked “OK” and i remembered i removed the port, because this printer was set to be on an LPT1 port, but it was USB… i’m now getting confused…

I went into the properties of the printer and tried to associate it with LPT1 again, but when I went back to the properties i got the same message.

I ran the “Add Printer” Wizard in Windows, and it found the hp officejet 5500 series printer…

I knew the printer had been working before so I didn’t think drivers would be an issue, but the fact the the old printer is still in there bothers me…

Now that the printer is added, I checked it’s properties and everything is fine… now testing the print test page.

IT WORKED!!!! fantastic!

I’m not going to worry about that printer in there, because it’s my dad’s pc and i’m not getting paid for this…

but otherwise i would think that printer in there might eventually cause issues.
