I turned my computer on this morning (XPS M1330), it started updating automatically with updates and then would not accept my password. It gives the error message, " the user profile service failed the login." I do not have any software so I can reset the password, as I bought the computer from my brother about 2 years ago. What can I do? It doesn't seem right that the computer did these updates and is now rejecting my password with no solutions on how to change it beyond having the software.any help would be appreciated - thank you!

Re: Dell laptop rejecting my password
If the user profile fails to load, the SAM won't load the password. When this happens, there's a very good chance a failing hard drive is at fault.
Power the system up, press F12 a couple of times and boot to the Dell diagnostics. Run the tests, and then boot to the full 32-bit diagnostics and run an extended hard drive test - you will likely find the drive has developed bad sectors where the user profile is stored, in which case you'll need a new, 2.5" 7 or 9.5 mm SATA notebook hard drive.

Re: 15R 7520SE missing Dell Audio after clean OS install
Both Conexant and Quickset had already been installed. I'm not sure what was wrong but I uninstall everything Conexant and downloaded the file from the previous versions area. This restored Dell Audio and the hardware audio key function.
Thank for your response.

Re: Dell laptop rejecting my password
Thanks so much for your response. I tried pressing F12 multiple times but the computer doesn't seem to be recognizing it from the first login screen where they ask me to enter my password. I also tried pressing F12 when the computer was booting up, before it got to the login screen, but that didn't seem to make a difference. Any tips on how to get past this? Thanks again!

Re: Dell laptop rejecting my password
Start pressing F12 immediately after you press the power on button. On some systems, FN-F12 is required.

Re: Dell laptop rejecting my password
Thank you - tried that twice (once with FN F12 and once just F12) immediately after powering on and it doesn't seem to recognize it before getting to the login/password page. Anything else I can try? Thank you!

Inspiron 17R volume control help please ?
Hi
Not sure why but when I try and press the volume up or down buttons on my keyboard they do not work ? The mute button works but not the other 2 even if I press cntl button and try.
I can do it from the volume symbol in the system tray but that's it.

Re: Dell laptop rejecting my password
Just to clarify, I turn on my computer and then immediately hold down the D key until it reacts and not do anything now with the F12 or FN keys? I'm not too computer/tech savvy so just want to make sure i am understanding. Thanks!

Re: Inspiron 17R volume control help please ?
Just to add my volume was nice and loud until I pressed the middle icon on the keyboard which lets you change the sound from gaming,music etc and now it's gone much quieter and I can't seem to do anything about it , any ideas ?

Holding down D should trip you into the diagnostics the same way F12 should.

audio buzz/feedback...i can hear my iPod's processor. o.O(this is an emote)
so.. this "bug" has been around for a loooong time.
so, i have my laptop, a N5010 inspiron. and with it, the audio software, that is like, installed by default, is "IDT. audio control panel"
so, i would have my laptop on, and plugged in. and i would ahve my ipod, plugged in, two ways; 1.) via usb cable, for the charging. and 2.) audio cable, into the LINE IN jack on my laptop. with the settings enabled to "listen to this device" i get this odd little fuzz/feedback and it is constant.
the iPod is the iPod touch 4th generation-white, 32GB
and, well, when its off, i.e. lock button off/sleep, its hardly noticeable. but, if i click the lock button to wake it, it goes much louder. and it sounds like an actulator rod on a HDD.
i want to know why this happens? and if i unplug the usb cable, the fuzz stops. and i can hear the audio from my iPod.
the sound setting on my iPod does not change the loudness of the fuzz.
IDT settings:
yes "set as default recording device"
yes "set as default communication device"
microphone boost: 0dB. i have tried changing this and it does not change the iPod's fuzz.
input monitor:
listen to this device, playback through: "speakers/headphones"
and..i was just messing around with the controls.. could not figure it out.
anyway.. how can i fix this?

Re: Dell laptop rejecting my password
D worked, I ran the one diagnostic test I saw and it produced no issues. It did not give me any other options to run more tests and my password is not working. Anything else I can try? Thank you!

Re: Dell laptop rejecting my password
Unless you can get the password, there's not much you can do but reload WIndows, no.

Re: No Media Player on my Dell Laptop
Hello. If Windows was pre-installed on your laptop then you should have Windows Media Player.
