    You can reset your password following the next steps:

    • Reboot your computer / Turn your computer on.
    • Hold down the Shift key at the start of the boot process to enable the GNU GRUB boot menu (if it does not show)
    • Press ESC at the GNU GRUB prompt.
    • Press e for edit.
    • Use the Arrow keys to highlight the line that begins with kernel and press the e key.
    • Go to the very end of the line and add rw init=/bin/bash
    • Press Enter and then press b to boot your system.
    • Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell.
    • Type in passwd yourusername
    • Set your new password.
    • Restart your system.

    Mapped network drives do not connect at logon in vista with automatic logon enabled

    I have vista x64 . I have some mapped network drives . They get connected when i enter the password at logon screen. Now i enabled automatic logon in vista and they do not connect anymore . I have to double click on them and enter the password manually .

    Windows displays the message "Could not connect to all drives" at logon .

    They used to connect automatically in xo with automatic logon enabled.

    My logon password is the same as the administrator password with which i can connect to these drives .

  4. Computer Logon password problems

    Automatic logon does not work on my computer

    a) I am unable to remember one of the logons which I setup as an emergency logon (in case I forget the other logon).

    -> When logged on under an admin account, you can change the password for any other account. Press the Windows key and type users, then follow the prompts.

    b) I am unable to long [log on?] without keying in a password.

    You must follow this procedure while the user accounts panel (the one you posted) is active:

    • Tick the box that requires users to enter a password.
    • Click the account name under which you wish to log on automatically.
    • Untick the box from Step 1.
    • Click OK.
    • Enter the password for the chosen account.
