Windows says my password is incorrect when it's not?! Help?
I've tried logging onto my user loads of times but everytime I try it tells me my password is incorrect. I've checked, and caps lock is not on, I'm definitely typing it correctly and I haven't changed it since last time I used the computer.
I'm currently using a different computer to ask this and my user is the only user on the computer so changing the password through a different user isn't an option.
Help?
4 AnswersSecurity9 years agoHow can I get Mum to stop treating me like a child?
I'm sixteen.
She still calls herself 'Mummy' when she talks to me. For example, she says 'Mummy and Daddy are going out now, darling.'
My brother and I haven't called Mum or Dad 'Mummy and Daddy' since we were five.
Some of the things she says are like she thinks I'm about eight or nine. It's really patronizing.
Sometimes she talks really slow, like I'm stupid or that I'm too young to understand her.
We walked into a bookshop once, and I was looking at all the books and she told everyone in the store 'Oh yes, it's wonderful, my little girl loves books! This is like the sweetshop for her!'
It was embarrassing. I just wanted to leave the shop.
Sometimes she just makes me cringe about the way she talks about me to people.
I don't feel like I act like a child, so how can I get her to stop treating me like one?

1 AnswerPerforming Arts10 years agoWhat am I doing to myself and how do I prevent it?
Okay, this is going to sound really weird...
Anyway, I do something weird with my hands and my nails. When I have nothing to do with my hands, or I'm bored in a lesson, I pick at the cuticle and rub it against my nail. I don't realize I'm doing it and I've been doing it for years. It makes the cuticles really sore and sometimes they bleed. It really hurts, but I can't stop doing it. It's just something I do with my hands. I do it all the time.
How do I stop myself doing it? Does anybody else do this, or is it just me being weird?
Thanks.

2 AnswersYouTube10 years agoWhat in your opinion makes a good person?
I guess I would say someone who doesn't judge, lets people be who they are and believe what they believe in and someone who sticks up for what they believe in and for others.
I wish I could be that kind of person :)
So what in your opinion makes a good person? :D
5 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoHow do I stop my addiction to crisps?
I have an addiction to crisps. I love all the saltiness and I eat them all the time. I eat them when I'm bored, I eat them when I have nothing to do and I eat them like a snack through out the day. I can be eating up to eight or nine bags a day. I know its seriously unhealthy and I should stop but I sometimes do it subconsciously and I don't even realize. And its not even that I pick unhealthy choices in other areas of food either, its just crisps, crisps, crisps.
I didn't even realize how many I was eating until a friend was like 'Dude, you need to stop eating crisps'
And then I realized how many I'd been eating each day. I can't ask mum to stop buying them because other people in my family like them as well.
How do I stop this, because I can see how unhealthy I'm being?

17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoSIM password?????????
Okay this is going to sound really stupid, but I know nothing about phones so.... yeah. I took the SIM out of my phone and put it into a newer phone, and now its asking for a SIM password.... and I don't have one! I didn't make one and my old phone didn't ask for it. Is there some kind of number I don't know about? or is it a mistake?
Thanks :D
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoWhat should I do about my ex-boyfriend?
Sorry if this gets a little confusing. All the names in this are fake.
So a couple of months ago, I broke up with my boyfriend, Kyle. It wasn't anything he had done, it was mainly because I just wasn't feeling it anymore and I didn't want to lead him on. He really didn't take it well, but after a long talk with him, I thought we'd finally got to a place where we both understood that we just wanted to be friends.
But two days after I dumped him he asked out my good friend Ellie. She said yes, and I wasn't particularly bothered about it. Me and Kyle were still talking but I noticed it wasn't the friendly talks we'd had before, it had more ice in it and he dropped subtle harsh comments. I didn't really do anything about this even though I knew it was happening. After a while it stopped, but day after day I would come home and he would have long moans to me on MSN asking what he did wrong and what was wrong with him. I was getting so angry and frustrated with it that in the end I just blocked him and deleted him because I was fed up. Then I found out that he had also been having long depressing MSN conversations with my best friend, Emily. Emily posted me the conversations, telling me she was fed up with it. I was too. Then one day Kyle went on MSN to Emily, and started calling her horrible names and using words I'd never heard him use before. I was really shocked. Emily wasn't having any of it and got her brother involved, who went on MSN and told Kyle what he thought of him. After that Kyle didn't bother Emily or me anymore. That was about three months ago.
Recently, Ellie dumped Kyle. It had been a while and I thought maybe that things would be alright now so I added him on MSN again. At first it was okay, but then the long depressing convo thing started up again. I logged off, and when I logged back on, he'd left me a message saying 'Sorry to burst your bubble but I don't want to go out with you again'.
Whenever I pass him in the corridor he gives me these pained expressions like I'm hurting him just by walking past. I tried to talk to Kyle once and he just said 'DON'T talk to me. JUST don't'.
I was talking to Ellie and she said he was doing the same things to her.
Me, Ellie and Emily are all seriously frustrated with the way he is acting. He's like one of those girls who think being depressing is cool. And the thing is, when all of this started, WE WERE ONLY 14! (well I'm 15 now). I just don't get why he's doing this. What should I do about it?
Sorry this has been so long. If you've read through all of this and have an answer you are a very cool person, haha :P
2 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhat do you think of my paragraph?
'So, is there anything you'd like to talk about?' he asks, making a bridge on the desk with his hands and resting his head on it.
Honestly, what can I talk about to this ignorant little man? So I just look at him strangely, and he seems slightly unnerved. Maybe he thinks I can't speak. I hope so.
'Kathryn...' he begins.
'It's Katy.'
'Katy, your mother expressed some... concerns about your manner. Is there anything you would like to say?'
Yes, there are plenty of things I'd like to say.
'She thinks I'm depressed, so she ordered me to see a shrink and here I am in your office.'
'Kathryn-'
'It's still Katy.'
He gives me a look of exasperation through his small piggy glasses. He looks remarkably like Dobby from 'Harry Potter'.
'Katy, I know how you feel-'
'No one knows how I feel.' I snap, suddenly angry. Why are people always telling me that they know I feel? Do they think it will help?
He breathes a sigh and leans back in his chair. 'You know, holding back on things isn't going to make anything better.'
'Isn't it?' I say.
1 AnswerBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhat do you think of my characters?
This story is about a teenage 'rock band' who are trying to be successful.
1. KATHRYN JONES. More commonly known as Katy, and sometimes called Kat. She plays guitar in the band, and she's good at it. She practises a lot, and uses it as an outlet for her stress. She's diagnosed with depression, though nobody who meets her would guess it. She puts a brave face on everything, even though sometimes she just wants to stuff it. She has feelings for Lily, though she thinks she's just highly bi-curious. Later on in the story she'll realize that its not just a phase. This really confuses her and she can't bear to tell anyone so she keeps it all bottled up. She also kickboxes. She has short blonde hair which she hates. It sticks out and she tries to spike it up with hair wax and gel.
2. LILY AINSWORTH. She's a pretty girl with long red hair, but she's hiding something. She was severely abused by her parents when she was younger and its got worse and more serious now she's older. She can't tell anyone about it at all. When she's around her friends she's good fun to be with, and she's an amazing singer. But she's got another secret; her boyfriend's also abusing her, and she can't bear to let him go. Her closest friend is Katy, but she still can't bear to tell her anything.
3. ALEX DANIELS He's a fun loving, over enthusiastic drummer. He can't understand why people are moping all the time, and this causes conflict within the group. He is always trying to win the attention of girls but never does it very well and it always ends up in tears. Despite being sometimes being a little flippant with other people's feelings, he is is well liked.
There are more, but I haven't got time to write them all down, so these are just some of the main characters.
1 AnswerBooks & Authors1 decade agoI am so bored with where I live????!!?
Okay, I live in a tiny english village in the middle of nowhere. It takes ages to get to where I go to school and I'm miles from anywhere. I just hate it here because I can't do anything at all. Mum tells me I'm addicted to my laptop but the truth is I have nothing to do. I want to go into to town to see my friends but its so complicated because I'm too young to drive, and there are NO buses. My family always tell me I'm lucky to live in the countryside, but the truth is, I'd rather live in a town or a city.
I'd love to leave and move somewhere myself, but I'm 14, not old enough to move out myself, and I can't demand to my parents that we move!! Its not my decision and its not fair on them. Argh, sorry about this but I've been wanting to talk about it for ages.
2 AnswersOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoHow do I be more confident?
I'm really really shy. I mean so shy that I don't answer the phone or open the door unless I know who it is. I can buy things in shops, but I hate ordering things in restaurants or things like that.
I'm fine once I have friends and no one would expect it because I'm actually really loud and I don't act shy.
I do a lot of acting and when I'm on stage its totally fine, I don't even get shy and people who don't know me very welll are shocked sometimes.
Its just when I meet new people I get really shy and don't want to talk and tend just to go along with people. Last year I found myself hanging out with this gang of people I really didn't like who did stuff I really didn't want to do, because I was too shy to talk to anyone else, and they came up to me in the first place. I've found better friends since then.
But I'm still really shy, and when I try to be confident with speaking to new people I come across all weird. My voice goes high and I sound all wrong and I say the wrong things and people think I'm really weird.
What can I do about it?

11 AnswersYouTube1 decade agoWhat do you think of this?
Okay there's this guy who's been my friend for agess, and I've liked him for ageeees. Then when we got into Year 10, I have the awesome luck to have at least one class with him each day (YES! lol. LUCK MUCH?) We have always been pretty good mates, but recently I've noticed these things.
1). When we have to get into partners he automatically turns and asks me.
2). His friend keeps saything that we'd be good together and we should go out.
3). We share a lot of interests and the same kind of humour.
4). He always made me laugh more than I made him laugh, but I make him laugh a lot more now.
5). When theres an empty space he always comes and sits next to me, even if his friend calls him over.
6). He just awesome.
Yeah okay, so what you think? He likes me or just being friendly (and awesome)?
