Reset Your Windows 8 Password in 10 minutes without using any third party software / How to – Tutorial Guide

It has been less than 2 months since the launch of Windows 8 and I recieved tons of emails from Boot-Landers /members and
guests also friends and collegues asking me if there's a way to reset a forgotten Windows 8 password the easiest way ? The
answer was yes and as usual without the need for any third party software to unlock or remove or reset the user or admin
account password. Here I will try to make an easy to follow tutorial that will be usefull for novice users as well as professionals when they get stuck behind the logon screen of a Windows 8 because they lost or forgotten their password. So here's how to do it in 10 minutes or less :

1- You need a Windows 8 PC to make a System Recovery Disk .

2- You need a CD Burner + Blanck CD.

3- If you have a tablet or a netbook and you don't have a CD burner then You need a 512 MB USB thumb drive to make a System Recovery USB instead.

4- To make a system recovery CD, Go to control panel and navigate to Windows 7  File Recovery, click on that icon, and
from the next screen choose from the top left ( Create a System Recovery Disk ) and follow the on-screen instructions to make
that CD.

5- To make a System Recovery USB thumb drive go to control panel and navigate to ( Recovery ), click on that icon and from
the next screen choose ( Create a recovery drive ) and follow the instructions to make a bootable System Recovery USB.

6- When you are ready, boot the locked PC that needs to be unlocked with that CD or USB you just made, and follow the
pictures below :







7- The command prompt screen will open, type : diskpart and hit Enter key



8- Type :  list vol and hit Enter key (watch for spaces)



9- locate your Windows partition letter ( in our case here the letter will be C drive)

22- Type: net user  Reboot.Pro *  ( replace Reboot.Pro with the name you find in your pc)  and hit Enter key



23- now type the new password you want and hit Enter key( when you type the cursor will not move and you will not see what you
type, so be carefull what you type, because you are typing blindly the new password)

25- Type exit and hit the Enter key to close the command window.


 

26- Logon now to the locked account with the new password you just created.

27- After successfully unlocking  your account and resetting the account password now you need to roll back the changes you
made to Utilman.exe and cmd.exe, so go ahead and boot your pc with the System Recovery CD or USB you made earlier in this
tutorial and repeat steps in # 6 so you open the command prompt window :

28- Type: c: and hit Enter key(your Windows drive maybe different so change it accordingly to the drive letter you have) [see picture below]

35- Now when the pc reboots and reaches the logon screen, check to see if the Utilman is fixed and returned back to place by
clicking on its icon on the bottom left side of the screen, if the Ease of Access list pops up then you succeeded in your work.
See picture below.




PS: some of you might have a Windows 8 Installation DVD, he can use it also in this process, boot with this Windows  DVD and
when you reach the first screen where you have to click next - stop there and hit SHIFT key + F 10 , the command prompt window
will pop up and you can use it as we did in steps 7 onward to the end. see picture below

How to create and run the Hiren's BootCD

he Hiren's BootCD has many features including the removing or bypassing of a windows password, using mini xp and linux modes, virus removal tools and disk and backup utilities, all of which run at start-up. More information and a complete list of all the utilities on the 'Hiren's BootCD 13.1' can be found on this website: http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd The download website used in this video is: http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download.html This CD is functional with windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 and linux (but not Mac). Types of CDs that I have tested (with success): CD Re-Writable (700mb) and DVD+R (4.7gb). If your computer does not boot from the CD automatically, then you will need to enter the boot selection menu and choose the one that has either 'CD', 'CDROM' or DVDRAM (or something similar) in its name to boot from the CD, like shown in the video above. The key on your keyboard that you have to press to get to the boot selection menu varies depending on your computer. The key on my computer is F8 but it may be different on yours. The key for your computer is often shown at the bottom of the first screen that appears when you turn on your computer; something like: Press 'F8' to enter boot menu. You may also need to change the boot order in the bios so that your computer trys to boot from the CD before the hard disk (operating system). Click here or below for my tutorial on how to do this.

WeChat Is Another WhatsApp Like Messenger For SmartPhones

A New Instant Messenger For Multiple Platforms

The app or WhatsApp Messenger alternative,  available for multiple platforms namely Apple’s iOS, Android, Windows Phone OS, Symbian and surprisingly desktop as well is the all new instant messaging, and video chatting application compatible with your favorite operating system, unfortunately not with BlackBerry OS. We took some hours off work all this while, and tried out the new WeChat app on multiple platforms, and here’s our review.

To start with the app brings a really nice and clutter free interface when you first launch the application. It asks you to sign up for the service, and once done you can use all its features. It comes handy with an automatic friend finder, and finds the people using WeChat Messenger from within your contact list. Apart from that, you can easily invite other people to use it by sharing it on social networking websites, or by sending out SMS. To add other people, you can also use integrated QR Code scanning technology. All you need to do is point your phone camera towards their QR Codes and they will be added to your list.

WeChat lets you send instant messages, photographs, audio recordings, emoticons and even lets you start a video chat with your friends. The video chat functionality surely makes it different from the good old WhatsApp Messenger. Well, that’s not all which is different with WeChat. The best functionality of WeChat is that it is able to find random people near you. You can set the search radius and the app will use your geographic location to find people using WeChat within your specified radius. Well, now that’s something interesting and new. The shake to search functionality can search random people using WeChat messenger from all over the world.

You can upload your contact picture, share photographs on a Facebook wall like platform known as Moments in WeChat messenger. You can set your account privacy accordingly and add random people in no time. The app is perfect for those who have a lot of free time and believe in socializing with new and random people. There’s an official WeChat account automatically added to your contact list which can be used in case you need some help or wish to report an issue. We liked the Web WeChat functionality, which lets you socialize with your friends even if you don’t have a smartphone.

As mentioned earlier, the app is available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone OS and Symbian mobile platforms, and can be downloaded from WeChat’s official website using the link given below.

Nano-SIM Cards For Apple iPhone 5 – All You Need To Know

UPDATE: Get yourself an Apple iPhone 4S 16GB White [Brand New] at an unbeatable price of $625 and refurbished one for $428 here.

Recently we published an Apple iPhone 5 roundup bringing together all the rumors and reports across the wide web to give you a better and clear picture of what is being expected from the infamous Apple iPhone 5, and how companies around the world are working for it. One of the changes Apple is expected to bring about in its iPhone 5 is the support for Nano-SIM cards. A SIM card that is 40% smaller than the present day Micro-SIM cards. While we know that the European carriers have already stockpiling these SIM cards, here is more on Nano-SIM cards, right after the jump!

Apple iPhone 5 will sport a never seen before design, with much smaller rooms for external devices and ports like charging dock, SIM card slot, which is made possible by introducing Nano-SIM cards. All is good with these Nano-SIM cards, but here is what we feel is odd. What if you damage your iPhone 5 and then want to use some other smartphone? There are no other devices which will support Nano-SIM card, so this means you would have to keep switching SIM cards once you stop using iPhone 5.
Chosen by European Telecommunications Standards Institute as a standard SIM card last month, we are expecting more and more devices to adapt to Nano-SIM technology in the coming time. However, the whole concept is not really being appreciated by Nokia, Motorola and Research which have been in constant debate with Apple on the issue of Nano-SIMs.

Today, a new report has surfaced across the web, claiming that Apple is issuing its partners with Nano-SIM adapters, so that they can test the efficiency of these SIM cards, before they finally introduce it in their upcoming iPhone 5 which is expected to be released anytime in this fall.

“Multiple carrier sources have exclusively told BGR that Apple is supplying nano SIM adapters so its carrier partners can test how nano SIMs work on their networks in standard test devices before they are widely deployed when the new iPhone is introduced.

This includes AT&T.“

Also, new reports regarding iPhone 5′s hardware changes has surfaced this morning. Apple iPhone 5 is expected to have 1GB RAM, 4G and LTE support, NFC and many other unknown changes. We have heard that Apple is changing the backplate of this device, introducing a LiquidMetal technology, however no such reports have surfaced in these recent days.

If things plan out as they are being said, Apple’s iPhone 5 will be the first device to sport a Nano-SIM technology. We are eagerly waiting to get our hands on some more information.

Unlock iPhone 5 On iOS 6.0.1 Baseband 1.01.00 With R-SIM 7

Apple iPhone 5 might be the coolest product from Apple at the moment, but we feel the device is highly priced, and if un-affordable for an average earning person. Well, in case you are one of those willing to purchase a locked Apple iPhone 5 [which is much much cheaper than the factory unlocked one, because it is available on contract with carrier networks], you would have to use software or hardware unlocking solutions to get your iPhone 5 working. Talking about software solutions, we have UltraSn0w which cannot unlock iPhone 5 baseband 1.01.00 on iOS 6. Coming to hardware solutions, we have this once popular Gevey-Turbo SIM which stopped working after Apple introduced baseband 4.11.08. Under such circumstances, what to do to get your iPhone 5 working with your favorite mobile carrier? Well, seems like we have the right solution for you.

Recently, another useful working hardware unlocking solution has been released. By hardware, we mean a SIM interposer, i.e, you need to place the chip in between your iPhone 5 SIM tray, and your actual SIM card to kick-start the process. R-SIM7 is the new SIM interposer we are talking about, and the main reason for attention is that R-SIM7 can actually unlock any baseband including 1.01.00 on iPhone 5, and 3.0.04 on iPhone 4S running on iOS 6.0 or iOS 6.0.1.

In short, R-SIM7 can unlock any baseband on iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S running on iOS 6.0 or iOS 6.0.1 at the moment. Currently, the interposer only supports iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S, so in case you are locked to an unlockable baseband on iPhone 4, there’s still no good news for you.  Here’s more from their official website:

R-SIM 7 is developed by the R-SIM team and SAM DEV team, which supports both iPhone 4S and 5. R-SIM7 works by simply inserting both your SIM card and R-SIM7 into your iPhone, going intoSettings > Phone > SIM Applications and then configuring the options present like selecting the carrier you are trying to connect to. After the settings have been configured you restart your iPhone and it will work with the chosen carrier.

You can purchase R-SIM7 from their official store here, at a price of $23.90, which is a reasonable price they are asking for a SIM-interposer.

How To Download Torrent Files On Your Android Device [No Rooting]

We have always wanted to have a native torrent client for Android, iOS or even for Windows Phone OS. While there already are a number of third party applications available across the web, still none of them had the desktop like functionality on cellular devices or tablets, and this was one of the major setbacks for Android platform specifically. Now talking about downloading Torrent files on your Android device, you no longer need third party applications which you don’t trust. Here’s how to download Torrent files on your Android device specifically, right after the jump.

                                      

  Download Torrent Files On Android Device You no longer need to root your Android device, as BitTorrent Inc, has introduced its native uTorrent app for Android devices today. Finally, you get to have a desktop like experience, right on your Android device with this all new uTorrent app for Android which is now available for free in the Google Play Store. This is a major news for those who love to download torrent files on their Android devices and use unlimited data plans or mobile broadband services. Though the app is currently in its Beta version, it offers sufficient functions for peer-to-peer file sharing. Now, you can search for torrent files right from the uTorrent dashboard on your Android device, subscribe to RSS and set upload and download limits with simple click.
                                                                 
While the search feature uses Google’s search engine, you will need some manual effort to select the right one for yourself. All you need to do is find a valid .torrent file, and start downloading it on the uTorrent client for your Android device. The good news remains the same. If you are on unlimited data plans, you can download as much as you can using uTorrent on your Android devices, provided you don’t cross your Bandwidth limit or else you might be charged for extra usage.
