Hi i have a samsung NP-Q1 tablet pc. I have forgotten the windows password and cannot get in. I do not have a external Dvd drive and cannot use any cd's. Is there a way i can use a standard usb stick and copy the recovery cd to the usb stick and make the tablet pc automatically start the recovery procedure. I will have to restore it to its original factory condition. If there is any other way please help.

Here is a guide toremove windows passwordwith Windows Password Recovery Tool Professional from http://www.windowspasswordsrecovery.com/Step1: Download and install Windows Password Recovery Tool.
Step2: Burn CD/DVD/USB Flash Drive. (Namely it is to burn a Windows password reset disk.)
Step3: Set the target computer boot from CD/DVD or USB.
Step4:Remove the forgotten Windows passwordwith the burned CD/DVD/USB. Then log on to Windows without a password.
Of course, you can also finish Windows password remover if you have a password reset disk in advance. That's also an easy solution.

Hi, there. This all-in-one password recovery software will surely help you out. It is capable of resetting forgotten Windows Administrator login password, and recovering lost password for multiple web browsers, mail clients, FTP clients, chat messengers etc. Next time better make a password recovery CD and put it in safe place. best regards.

you dont, unless you upgrade from windows7 starter to the full version....yeah its a microsoft ploy, or uninstall microsoft and get ubuntu

If you forgot Windows password, you can create a Windows password reset bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive to reset your lost or forgotten Windows password, i have created a bootable CD with the tool Windows Password Breaker and reset my administrator password successfully.

why cant i change my bios password for my samsung np-q1

Suggest you use an external DVD drive, and put your installation disk in it. Then access the BIOS Setup utility.

In BIOS Setup, find the Boot Order menu. (Generally, along the top headings of the main menu, in BIOS Setup, or located in Advanced BIOS Settings) Set the first boot device to be CDROM. Be sure to Save your change.
This way the handheld, will boot from the installation disk, in your external DVD drive.

Should you be trying to downgrade from Vista to XP, you have to change the first boot device, in Boot Order to CDROM. If not, Vista won't let you overwrite it.
Vista is an upgrade over XP.

I use a panasonic UJ-870 DVD drive and it works. You don't necessarily need a proprietary drive. Otherwise try (if you can) switching the drive off then quickly on just before the Q1 restarts at reboot.

There is no wireless switch for the Q1. Go to "network connections", "right click" your "wireless network connection" and then click "enable".

I had the same problem. I pull of battery and then immediately reattached and ta-daaaa! Windows came right up!

Hope this helps!
