Q: Hi, is there any other way of removing a password in Windows 7 other than using an independent software?

A: Do you mean if you know the password and don’t want to use one, or if you forgot Windows 7 password?

Here are the directions for both.

If you know the password, but don’t want to have to enter it when you log in you can easily remove it:

Click on the Start button, then control panel. Now click on Add/Remove User Accounts, and then click on the account name you want to remove the password from. Click Remove the password, type in the password and click Remove password.

If you do not know the password, you will need a utility to manually reset Windows 7 password:

One of the most popular utilities is Windows Password Recovery which can be downloaded here and burned to a CD/DVD/USB. There are detailed instructions on how to use this program.

This should only be used as a last resort if you’ve totally forgotten your password and are locked out of Windows.

  • 1. Insert a blank CD/DVD into the computer, and then launch the program.
  • 2. Click Burn a Bootable CD/DVD.
  • 3. Select the target CD/DVD device and click Burn to start burning.
  • 4. Click OK when the burning task completes. You have just successfully created a password reset CD/DVD.

Boot computer from the CD/DVD:

  • 1. Insert the password reset CD/DVD into the locked computer.
  • 2. Turn on or restart the locked computer, watch the screen for a message that will say “press to …enter SETUP” or something similar. Press this key as soon as you see the message to enter BIOS menu.

Note: The key is different based on manufacturers, but F2, Delete and F10 are the most common keys.

  • 3. Use arrow key to choose Boot on the taskbar, select Boot Device Priority and press Enter.
  • 4. Set CDROM to the 1st Boot Device according to the prompts on the right.
  • 5. Press F10 to save and exit BIOS. You computer will restart and boot from the CD/DVD automatically.

When the computer successfully boots from the password reset CD/DVD, you’ll see Rekeysoft Windows Password Recovery’s interface. And you’ll find that all Windows accounts are displayed. You can selest your target account, and reset the password to blank. Then you can reset another account password or click Reboot to restart the computer.

Mon, 28 May 2012 19:19:00 -0700 Burn an Image in Windows 7 http://victorwaite.posterous.com/burn-an-image-in-windows-7 http://victorwaite.posterous.com/burn-an-image-in-windows-7

Q: I got an iso file to let me reset Windows 7 password, it should be burned to a disk, but how to make a disk from the file?
An ISO is a file that contains the complete image of a disc, it is often used when transferring CD/DVD images over the Internet. Once you have an ISO image on your hard drive, you can burn it onto a CD or DVD using one of many ISO-burning software packages.
In Windows previous versions, to burn an image, you need a burning program. Now in Windows 7, the software is not needed any more. With an image file in iso or bin format, and a computer burning device – burner, you can burn it on the CD or DVD or USB that’s inserted in the drive.
Here is how:
• Insert a blank CD or DVD in your computer drive.
• Open the image file (usually double-click). Windows Disc Image Burner dialogue box appears.
• Select the drive the blank CD or DVD is in.
• Check off Verify disc after burning and then click Burn.
• The image will be burned and verified.
• Click Close if you’re finished, or burn another copy of the disk image.
Warning: To create a CD or DVD from an ISO image, you must burn the actual ISO image onto the CD / DVD, not just copy the ISO file to the CD / DVD.

Fri, 25 May 2012 02:29:00 -0700 Multiple Monitors for Windows 8? http://victorwaite.posterous.com/multiple-monitors-for-windows-8 http://victorwaite.posterous.com/multiple-monitors-for-windows-8

Windows 8 will offer more tools and support for multi-tasking users who attach multiple monitors to their desktop and laptop PCs, the company disclosed in a blog post. But Microsoft is dropping the Aero Glass user interface that first appeared in Windows Vista.

Windows 8 will provide multimonitor support to the taskbar, making it easier to manage multiple windows. It also will allow users to choose different personalized background screens for multiple monitors — Windows 7 users can only select a single image that is duplicated across monitors.

Users also will be able to launch Metro-style applications on one monitor and traditional Windows desktop applications on another. And corner and edge controls, including the Start menu, clock and other icons, or “charms,” will be accessible from every monitor.

The news that Microsoft is ditching Aero Glass was buried deep in another blog published Friday by Jensen Harris, director of program management for the user experience team.

Microsoft originally developed Aero Glass for Vista to provide a translucent, glasslike appearance for Window borders, title bars and other surfaces.(For Windows 7 you are using, what to find Windows 7 password recovery tools if you forgot the login password?)

“These stylistic elements represented the design sensibilities of the time, reflecting the capabilities of the brand-new digital tools used to create and render them,” Jensen wrote. “This style of simulating faux-realistic materials (such as glass or aluminum) on the screen looks dated and cheesy now, but at the time, it was very much en vogue.

“We applied the principles of ‘clean and crisp’ when updating window and taskbar chrome,” Jensen said of the Windows 8 development efforts.

More than 13% of desktop PC users have two monitors attached to their system, said Mark Yalovsky, a lead program manager on the Windows 8 user experience team, in a blog post Monday. That’s according to data Microsoft collected through the Windows Feedback Program. Another 0.85% have three attached monitors, while 0.34% have four monitors.

More than 4% of laptop PC users have two monitors, according to the data.

“When we embarked on planning Windows 8, enhancing multi-monitor functionality was an important area to improve,” Yalovsky wrote. “A multiple monitor setup is certainly more common today than they used to be, and many technical professionals (developers, graphics professionals, architects, etc.) have started using it.”

Support for multiple monitors is standard on almost all PC hardware today, Yalovsky noted, and multimonitor configurations are becoming more common in work environments and even in homes. The low cost of monitors (in the range of $140 for a 21-inch LED display) also is fueling the trend.

Tue, 22 May 2012 03:29:00 -0700 Windows 8 Desktop Drops Aero Glass http://victorwaite.posterous.com/windows-8-desktop-drops-aero-glass http://victorwaite.posterous.com/windows-8-desktop-drops-aero-glass

Windows Vista saw the first change in Windows UI since XP, and introduced a brand new “glass” theme. Microsoft called this Aero, and it is the basis look in Windows Vista and Windows 7. “Aero was designed to help people focus less on the window chrome itself, and more on the content within the window. It draws the eye away from the title bar and window frames, and towards what is valuable and what an app is about.”(Forgot password? Try Windows 7 password recovery. )

In Windows 7, the taskbar had been given a complete feature overhaul and re-design, for the first time in Windows history, the taskbar allowed for pinning, moving and ease.

The Verge – Microsoft has revealed that it has made some big changes to its desktop UI for Windows 8, which includes moving away from Aero Glass — the UI first introduced with Vista. According to the company, this means visual changes that include “flattening surfaces, removing reflections, and scaling back distracting gradients.”

Despite all of these changes with the interface, the company doesn’t appear to be worried about the issue of “learnability.” Instead, Microsoft believes that with a little help it won’t take long for users to adapt to the new operating system. “We will help people get off on the right foot,” the company explained in a blog post, “and we have confidence that people will quickly find the new paradigms to be second-nature.”

While Microsoft admits that there have been some usability issues with certain gestures in the Consumer Preview, the company says that this is not an issue with people coming to grips with the concept, but instead a problem with the early state of the OS — internal builds are already “significantly improved,” according to Microsoft, so we should see an easier-to-use Windows 8 when the Release Preview launches next month. The post also packs a great dose of nostalgia, as the team looks back at interface issues dating all the way to Windows 1 in 1985.

Mon, 21 May 2012 02:07:00 -0700 How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc? http://victorwaite.posterous.com/how-to-install-windows-7-without-the-disc http://victorwaite.posterous.com/how-to-install-windows-7-without-the-disc

Many computers ship without Windows 7 installation discs. Instead they come with “recovery” discs and/or partitions that claim to restore your PC to its “factory fresh” state, but include a ton of bloatware (free trials, media players, useless utilities, and the like) along with Windows. Removing each piece of bloat is time-consuming, and just not the same as truly starting fresh.

In this article, you’ll learn how to make your own Windows 7 installation disc (or USB flash drive) and use the valid product key you already have to perform a fresh reinstallation. Some users have not been able to activate their copy of Windows even after entering a valid product key, while others own PCs that require software not included in a Windows 7 ISO. You have no way to know whether this procedure will work for you until you try, and you need a backup plan in case it doesn’t.

1. Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC.

2. Download the ISO file for the version of Windows 7 you own:

3. Download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool. This utility lets you copy your Windows 7 ISO file to a DVD or USB flash drive. Whether you choose DVD or USB makes no difference; just confirm that your PC can boot to the media type you select.

4. Boot your computer using the Windows 7 DVD or USB flash drive. Follow the prompts to prepare the destination hard drive and install Windows.

By the way, if you have installed your Windows 7, please keep in mind that you have create a  Windows login password for laptop protection. Of course, another thing is also in necessity that you should create a Windows 7 password reset disk, which can drug out of you from Windows 7 password recovery trouble yet.

Tue, 15 May 2012 02:36:00 -0700 The General Blue Screen Solutions http://victorwaite.posterous.com/the-general-blue-screen-solutions http://victorwaite.posterous.com/the-general-blue-screen-solutions

During windows 7 normal boot process, you may face several issues, in which the most common ones are windows login password lost or blue screen. The former is quite easy to solve – you can bypass Windows 7 password by Windows Password Breaker just in five minutes; while the latter one is more troublesome, the blue screen error can be caused by both hardware and software issues.

If you can start Windows normally, do as follows:

Note: All the tools mentioned below can be found by search box of Start Menu.

1. Check problems solutions in Action Center

Windows creates a report when certain hardware or software problems occur. Action Center can check whether there’s a solution to a reported problem.

2. Check Windows Update

Recent updates from Microsoft might help fix the problem. Windows Update helps keep your computer up to date with the latest system updates and drivers.

3. Check your drives

If you recently installed a hardware device, such as a sound card or video card, an incorrect or improperly installed device driver might be causing the problem. Make sure you have the latest driver for the device installed. Update driver in Device Manger.

4. Check hard disk and memory

Some errors can be caused by problems with your computer’s hard disk or random access memory (RAM). Check hard disk error in Disk Properties. Check memory by Diagnose your computer’s memory problems in Control Panel.

5. Use safe mode to troubleshoot problems

In Safe mode, only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started, which can help you troubleshoot software problems.

6. Undo recent changes using System Restore

To use this tip, make sure you have created a system restore point or system image disk in advance.

If you cannot start windows at all, besides the above workable methods, such as safe mode and system restore, you can use Startup Repair to fix windows startup files:

Press F8 before the Windows logo appears to access Advanced Boot Options screen. Choose repair your computer. On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair, and then follow the instructions.

If none of the suggestions works, you may need to reinstall windows 7.

We have already shown you how you can use the new refresh and reset features in Windows 8 instead of formatting your PC, the problem is that you are required to insert your Windows DVD every time you want to use the features. Here’s how to do it without the DVD.

Refresh or Reset Your Windows 8 PC Without the DVD
1. The first thing you need to do is create a new folder on the root of your primary drive and call it “Windows8Files”.
2. Now insert your DVD into your PC, or mount the ISO File and navigate to:
D:\sources
3. Copy the install.wim file off your DVD into the Windows8Files folder we just created.
4. Next we need to launch and administrative command prompt, so move your mouse to the bottom left of your screen and right-click then select Command Prompt (admin) from the context menu.
5. Now we need to run the following command:
eagentc.exe /setosimage /path C:\Windows8Files /target C:\Windows /Index 1
6. Now you can refresh or reset you PC as normal, except it wont ask you to insert your DVD.

Well, as to reset Windows 7 password, you can also reset or recover the password with the DVD if you have a password reset disk or there is another admin account.

Fri, 11 May 2012 00:21:00 -0700 Some Tips about Hard Disk Data Recovery http://victorwaite.posterous.com/some-tips-about-hard-disk-data-recovery http://victorwaite.posterous.com/some-tips-about-hard-disk-data-recovery

A hard disk is part of a unit, often called a “disk drive”, “hard drive”, or “hard disk drive”, that stores and provides relatively quick access to large amounts of data on an electromagnetically charged surface or set of surfaces. Nearly every desktop computer and server in use today contains one or more hard disk drives. Every mainframe and supercomputer is normally connected to hundreds of them. You can even find VCR-type devices and camcorders that use hard disks instead of tape.

Hard disks are complex. They have a circuit board and a number of moving parts. In terms of hard disk data recovery (Read more about Windows 7 password reset), the first thing you must evaluate is whether it is a hardware problem that stops you from accessing your data. Common hardware problems include a faulty circuit board or problems with the actuator arm.

A faulty circuit board is characterize by a drive that does not ‘spin up’, meaning that platters are not turning underneath the copper wire. A faulty actuator arm or more serious mechanical error is characterize by an abnormal clicking noise or a grinding noise. The best advise in determining whether you have a hardware problem is to listen to the sound of your hard drive. If you cannot hear the platters spinning (i.e. it is quiet when it is turned on) or you hear more serious noises then you should stop using the drive immediately. Your best option is to send the drive to a hardware data recovery service.

Hardware data recovery can be expensive because technicians may need to disassemble your hard drive to fix the problem. Also hard drives are finely tuned machinery and it takes specialist equipment to read the platters from a physically damaged drive.

If you are sending your hard drive to a data recovery specialist then you should attempt to obtain an upfront estimate of fees (although you will rarely get one), ask that if you send your hard drive for quotation purposes will they send it back to you in the same condition if you choose not to use the service, and make sure you send it to a reputable company as you may only get one chance at hard drive data recovery.
