Passwords You Need to Remember


Here is a list of passwords anyone working with your computer environment will need:

   The Administrator user account password for your Windows Operating System.
Many times the best way to solve a problem with a computer that will not boot is to boot the system in safe mode (a way of starting your computer in a diagnostic mode with a minimum amount of resources assigned to programs and devices). To log in to the computer in safe mode, it may be necessary to use the Administrator account.

   The username and password pair for a computer administrator enabled account for your Windows Operating System.
Administrator tasks such as installing a new printer or application program can only be installed by a computer administrator enabled account.

   The password for each of your email accounts.
In order to access your email, you must have the password associated with that email account.

   The Administrator username and password pair for your DSL or Cable Internet modem.
If your DSL or Cable Modem needs to be replaced, this password is necessary to re-establish your high speed Internet connection.

   The Administrator username and password pair for your wireless router.
Any changes to the router - such as a firmware upgrade (fixes to the software on the router that is supplied by the router manufacturer) – will require the username and password.

   The username and password pair associated with your anti-virus software.
Many times to de-install an anti-virus product so that it can be replaced, requires a valid username and password pair.
