Windows 10 is the most common operating system that we can find on anyone’s PC/Laptop. Some of the reasons include stability, modern look, better performance and the return of the start screen. Unlike previous operating systems, Windows 10 has both local accounts as well as online accounts for accessing the machine. But what if you accidentally forgot Windows 10 password? Are you really locked out of your own machine? Well, the answer is obviously no. You can always regain access to your system by resetting the account password. We will share one of the easiest ways to reset Windows 10 forgotten password.

For this task, we will be using a software called PCUnlocker which is a paid software but works like a charm. It gives you superpower to unlock any Windows machine password with just one CD or USB drive. We recommend it to use only on your system and not a public PC. Using this software you can also bypass the password to gain direct access to your machine. One of the unique features includes resetting the password of virtual machines too.

How to reset Windows 10 forgotten password?

Before we start, you need to use another computer to make the preparations since your system is locked. Using this method you can regain access to your system without the need of formatting and re-installing the operating system.

Buy the software PCUnlocker and download it on the temporary PC/laptop you are using for recovery.
You will get a ZIP file which you can easily extract to find the PCUnlocker.iso file.
We will burn this ISO file to USB or a CD/DVD to make it a bootable media. This bootable media will then be used to reset the forgotten Windows 10 password.
To create a bootable disk download the software Rufus.
Now use Rufus to make USB or CD drive as bootable media. Just select the ISO file and removable disk and press start. Make sure the USB drive or CD is completely empty as all the data would be formatted in order to make it bootable.
Next come back to your locked machine and power it off. Insert the USB or CD and now start the system. In the case of CD, power on the system insert CD and then reboot.
As soon as you start the machine, you need to select the bootable drive to boot from. For this, you can go to BIOS settings and set USB/CD drive as the first option in boot priority. To enter BIOS press F2 or del at system startup. In some systems, there is an option to choose the boot device directly using a function key like F7, F8 , F9 or F12 differs from system to system.
After choosing USB/CD drive as boot option, the PCUnlocker software will load and not Windows operating system.
The program will now scan the user accounts and show it to you in a list.
Choose the user account whose password you want to reset. Next press reset password button and type in a new password. If you keep it blank then the password is just removed.
After this click on the restart button. Remove the USB/CD bootable drive or else it would boot from it again.

In this way, you can reset Windows 10 forgotten password. With few simple steps and proper utility like PCUnlocker the whole problem just goes away.

Some of the features of PCUnlocker:

Reset Windows 10 and almost all Windows operating system
Bypass Windows operating system password
Remove Windows 10 local as well as online account password
Unlock Windows active directory account
No installation required
Upgrade any account to administrator
Reset password of Virtual Machines running Windows operating system
Free technical support

This was the easiest way to reset/remove Windows 10 forgotten password. The software is paid but is worth it and makes it easy. Let me know if this tutorial helped you to reset your Windows 10 password. If you have any doubts, post them in the comment section below.

Guide: How to make USB bootable

June 2, 2016

I have received a lot of doubts related to installing any operating system. Though if you go ahead and Google the query you will surely find the answers. But then I thought to make my own version of Guide on how to make USB bootable explaining each and everything. I will also recommend some of the software that I use to make USB bootable. So let us begin with the very basic question that is, what is USB bootable?

What is USB bootable?

Before the trend of USB drives/Pen drives, we all used to install an operating system using a CD/DVD. But now everybody has USB drives which we can use to install the operating system. Now as you know that once you boot your system, after the company branding the operating system kicks in. So if we need to replace that operating system we need to do it before the operating system starts. So all the files of installation comes in a common format called “.ISO”. ISO is basically an image of the optical disc, meaning it has the files copied from the optical disk sector by sector. So if you wanted to generate an exact virtual image of an optical disc, you would do that in the ISO format. All the files are packaged in one single file that ends with a .iso extension. Answering the main question, USB bootable means we will basically copy all the files from the ISO file to USB drive in such a way that it boots on the startup. So one thing is clear that all operating system will come in ISO format.

Where can you find the ISO file?

Well for most of the free Linux distribution it will be available on their respective websites. For Windows you can may be search for it on Google for the official ISO file. For Windows 7/8 I have mentioned a tool below that can also download the ISO file for you. And apart from that you always have one other source where you find all the things which I can’t say it directly but it starts with ‘T’.

Requirements

ISO file of operating system
A USB drive of 8GB at least (USB 3.0 would be preferable)
A software to make USB bootable

We will be using a software to make USB bootable. It all depends on which operating system you are thinking to install. Nowadays most of the tools support all operating system and are universal. The list of top tools with their download links is given below. Use any one of them.

Software USB bootable:

Rufus – one of the best
YUMI – The fastest
Windows7 USB tool – For Windows 7/Windows 8 (Didn’t try it for Windows 10)
UNetbootin – Supports many version
RMprepUSB – For advanced users only

If you are familiar with Linux then you can also use DD commands which works great too. Before starting with the procedure let me tell you that if you are thinking to dual boot then you can go for the alternative of running the operating system using virtual machine software. Also if you want to do it for DVD then just burn the .iso image directly on it or use the same tools.

GUIDE: How to make USB bootable?

I am going to use Rufus for showing you the procedure.

To begin with make sure that your USB drive is blank and has no files, as this procedure will delete everything.
Next launch any software from the aforementioned link, very few will actually require installtion.
After that it will ask you to choose various things out of which two options are really important. One is USB drive letter and second is .ISO file location. Apart from that the name of operating system may or may not be asked.
Note: While selecting just choose the option that says I have the ISO file or else it will re-download the whole thing.

Rufus USB bootable Options
After selecting those options you can choose if you want to format the drive or not. Well format is recommended from my side.
So the preparations are done and now you can go ahead click start which will give you some warnings just click yes.
After certain time interval the progress bar will hit 100% and the process will be completed. Now it is safe to remove the USB drive.

This is how to make USB bootable using software and ISO file. There is again one step left before you start the installation which is, go to BIOS setting of your machine and check the boot priority. Always set the boot priority of USB drive to the top so that it boots before the hard disk or DVD-ROM. If you have done the procedure carefully you will see installtion starting. If there is any issue then may be your ISO file is corrupted. If you have any doubts please do mention them in the comment section below.

ASUS ROG G751 Gaming Laptop review

October 15, 2015

by Karan Makharia with No Comment ASUS Games Laptop Reviews windows 8

ASUS has been launching various types of laptops in the market, and recently we got our hands on the new ASUS ROG G751 gaming laptop. We took it for a review and tested various high-end games on it. If I were to describe it in one sentence then, this is a compressed version of a Desktop gaming PC. Let’s take a closer look and find out if it’s worth buying.

ASUS ROG G751 Gaming Laptop review

Design

The ASUS ROG G751 looks like a gaming monster as its heavy(around 4 Kg) and large in size(17.3 inch screen). It is not that portable as you may imagine while buying a normal laptop. If you plan to keep it on your desk most of the time while playing, then the weight may not be an issue. Keeping in mind that it is a high-performance gaming laptop I can compromise with the portability factor. The dual air vents are on the rear which looks like the exhaust vents of a jet engine. The top of the lid has a fine matte finish which provides a good grip while holding this beast in your hand. The hinge of the laptop is 1.5 inches away from the edge. On the back of the lid, there is a red lighted ROG(Republic Of Gamers) logo which gives it a cool look. The keyboard and trackpad are also well designed with W, A, S, D keys highlighted with red color. It has a red backlight keyboard which again maintains the color theme of the laptop. There are some custom keys to toggle ShadowPlay, Steam and three programmable buttons (M1,M2,M3). The Trackpad is also large enough and responsive to easily handle the navigation and the gestures. In a nutshell, the build is strong but we cannot term it as highly portable.

Display

ASUS ROG G751 has a 17.3-inch display, which is quite good enough for gaming experience keeping in mind that its a laptop(Though in gaming the screen size is like – the more the merrier). It has 178 deg of viewing angle as promised by ASUS, and we can assure you that the viewing angles are great. The display is an IPS FHD with a resolution of 1920×1080 covered by a anti-glare coating.

Connectivity

ASUS ROG G751 Ports

4 USB 3.0 ports (2 on left and 2 on the right)
1 VGA port
1 HDMI port
1 Thunderbolt port
3 Audio Jacks (Headphone, microphone and podcast)
1 Lan Port
SD/MMC reader
Blu-ray reader and writer
Bluetooth 4.0 and Wifi

Performance

ASUS ROG G751 runs an intel i7-4710HQ processor clocked at 2.5Ghz with 24GB of RAM(23.9 User available). It comes with the new Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M graphic card(2GB- NVIDIA, 2GB- Intel HD 4600) which is the soul of this beast. Because of the graphic card, we are able to output video to 4K displays and enhance the overall gaming performance. Talking about the memory we have 1 TB hard disk(HDD) out of which 256 GB SSD storage is available for the operating system. You can press the ShadowPlay button to record the gameplay which is supported by the new GeForce graphics cards. We tried various high graphics games like Shadow of Mordor, Watch Dogs, GTA V, Assassin’s creed unity, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare etc which ran very well without any lag. Performance wise the ROG G751 has no issues as such, and delivers the max performance. The dual fans with three copper pipes does a good job of cooling the laptop even when its overclocked. It comes with ASUS TurboMaster GPU overclocking which boosts the performance by 5%.

ASUS ROG G751 SubWoofer

The speakers are placed near the hinge which face directly towards the user for enhanced sound output. The sound quality is good and the speakers are sufficiently loud. At the botton there is a low frequency subwoofer to enhance the overall gaming performance.

It comes with Windows 8 Pro preinstalled and some default software from ASUS and NVIDIA like ASUS smart gesture, gaming center, macro key, GPU tweak, web storage, GeForce Experience etc. You should definitely try these software to tweak the features of the laptop.

ASUS ROG G751 charging Adapter

Battery and pricing

This is the point where the G751 doesn’t performs much well. You can hardly get 1 hour of battery backup while gaming and 3-4 hrs with normal usage. One more issues that I noticed was whenever the battery level goes below 50% while playing game, it will start to lag and you will have to connect it to a power source to solve the problem. May be the graphic card doesn’t get the required power to run efficiently. So you can’t expect much from the battery backup of G751 while playing games.

The laptop is available on Amazon for 2244$(including shipping), and for Indian Users its available on Ebay for Rs.206,175. There is a 1 year Internation warranty on the laptop with 1 year accidental damage cover.

Have you forgotten your windows login password? This is the common problem which may arrive to every user at some point of time. So, formatting your PC is one solution to your problem. But it may let you loose some of your important data, and overall its time consuming. I have a better solution than this.You can reset windows login password, or you can even reveal it, choice is yours. So today i am gonna teach you, how to reset windows login password. I will be showing tutorial using Ophcrack software. Let’s begin.

Note: This trick works for almost all windows versions.

Ophcrack livecd

Ophcrack is a OS which can be used to crack passwords. It comes with a GUI which makes it more simple to use. It uses rainbow table attack for brute forcing.

How to reset windows Login Password??

Windows login

First you have to download ophcrack live cd.
Download it from here
Go to the above site and choose the OS (xp, vista, win 7) and download the software.
Downloaded software will be in .iso form. Burn it to a disc using PowerIso
Now you have to boot the OS. For that insert the disc. Restart your PC and boot from disc.(Change boot priority using F12 or F8 and set it to boot from dvd/cd).
After booting it will ask for manual, automatic etc.. Click on automatic.
Then it will automatically start brute forcing. It will show users and in front of it the password resp. It may take some time to crack the password.
For complicated passwords you can download free rainbow tables as per your OS from this LINK.

This was the method for resetting password through ophcrack. There are many software’s as well as live cd’s which you can use for resetting password.

Given below is the list of some software’s and live CD’s.

Active password changer
It can be used to reset administrators password on WIndows Xp/Vista/2008/2003/2000 and windows 7 if forgotten or lost.
Cain and Abel
It is a password recovery tool for Windows operating system. It uses attacks like brute forcing, sniffing the network, cryptanalysis etc.
Offline Password cracker
Offline Password Cracker is an amazing password recovery tool but instead of actually recovering your Windows password like OPH Crack and similar tools do, it deletes it. Without a password, you’re allowed unrestricted access to your Windows operating system.
Hiren’s Multi-boot disc
This is similar to ophcrack. It’s one of the most used Boot CD’s. It comes with many tools which can be used in different situations.It also comes with antivirus with latest update definition. It can be used to make backups and test your memory and other hardware’s.
Kon-Boot
This is my favorite. If you boot with Kon-Boot, it will by pass the login and you can enter your PC without entering any password. Kon-boot doesnt works for Windows 7 and 64 bit operating system. It works on Linux also.

So these were the software’s and live CD’s which can be used to recover or reset your forgotten login password.
