  1. Can't log into Windows: need authentication code, but can't open email


    My wife recently restarted her computer, but Windows would not accept her usual password. When she asked to change her password, a Verify Your Identity window asked for her email address, then said she would receive a code in her email. But she can't access her email because she can't finish the login process.


    How can she break out of this and access Windows?

    :)

  2. Mobile Me setup problems on a N900 (T-Mobile and AT&T DSL)

    Hi!

    On my Nokia N900 phone I can do the following just fine (whether my internet connection is T-Mobile Internet or AT&T DSL via an Airport Extreme):

    • Send and receive Gmail mail (IMAP and SMTP works fine)
    • Receive MobileMe email (IMAP works fine)

    What I can't do is send MobileMe email. The N900's email client appears to connect and authenticate with the smtp.me.com server, then it spits back an "unable to send" message.

    Also, my MacBook Pro's Mail client works fine on my home Airport Extreme / AT&T DSL network.

    My SMTP settings:

    • smtp.me.com
    • username: (just the part before the @mac.com)
    • secure authentication set to "login" (i.e., "password")
    • secure connection set to SSL & Port 587

    I've futzed with the settings to no avail (turned secure connection off, turned secure auth off, etc.). Even as a test I messed up the Gmail settings then set them back to the proper settings and still get Gmail to work, so something is going on where smtp.me.com
    is rejecting the email, even though its mac.com email.

    Any suggestions ??



    Thanks in advance !!

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Hello everybody.
    First of all, I want to apologize for my English, is not my natural language.
    After a normal power off, my laptop didn`t run Windows normally and showed a blue screen saying
    "Your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart. [...]
    Stop code: BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO"
    After several restarts, the display showed "preparing automatic repair' and 'diagnosing your PC'. The result was 'automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' and gave a log file, D:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt.
    I tried to restore windows to a previous point, but it was impossible (It was not possible to delete some file at D:\$MFT\. Error 0x8007007b).
    I decided to reinstall windows. Only 24 hours after reinstalling windows, the same problem appeared again.
    Following a friend`s advice, I opened srttrail.txt using cmd.
    All error codes were 0x0 except "check installing lcu". That one was 0x17 (I don`t know how to copy the file and post it here. I`m sorry).
    I searched in google for a solution but i didn`t find anything helpful.
    Could anyone help me, please! Thanks

    Blizzard Security Code

    Does anyone know where and how to get this code. Yes I have started a ticket with Blizzard about it. I just don`t see where or how to get the security code.

    I got 2 different emails saying such and such tried to use my email address to login, but it was not my battle tag, since then I have not been able to log in.

    I have over 80GB of Destiny 2 data I can`t even use *Mad They are going to a new platform in October, not sure if that will help me or lock me out permanently.

    OK, I got the code through my google mail account (which I never use anyway) but now it`s telling me I need an authenticator.

    LOL they don`t even list Destiny 2 anymore, I suppose it`s because it`s being moved and it was a Partner game anyway *Confused
