Once you have the ISO burned on to a CD just place it in the CD Drive and restart the machine.
(for a free ISO burning software check cdburnerxp)

(1) When the computer starts boot the PC from the CD. this will start the trinity rescue disk.
(2) let it count down to 0 and let it run untill you get to the command prompt with the #.
(3) Type: winpass -u user
(user will be the user whose password you want to crack)

Most people will only have one option at this point. A few unlucky folks will have more than one. In which case you will have to guess until you are correct.

Why I like windows 7

There are a few features that I enjoy on Windows 7

1)the User Account Control (that annoying thing that pops up when you do anything in Vista) the reason I like it in windows 7, is because it is user friendly. The default setting is that Windows will ask you ONLY if a program (like a virus) tries to do something without you approving it.


2)The Next time you are in Best Buy and looking at Windows 7 PC's. Go crazy and open like 8 different programs. Solitaire, notepad, office, explorer ect... then the fun part! Left click on the title bar and hold it. Now move it back and forth and watch the other programs run in terror of your awesomeness!


3)Show desktop is a similar feature people don't use often enough. Windows 7 has placed the button for that next to the clock in the bottom right hand corner. Rather than minimise 4 or 5 separate programs one at a time, just click that button once. This once is also in Vista and XP but if may be faster for you than the second feature.


There are other reasons I like windows 7, but most of them I have only read about and not yet used myself. So until I do use them I won't be saying how much I like them.
Such a feature is windows PE. You can make a boot able CD or DVD to help fix PC problems or pull data off the PC. Linux has had this capability for years. I haven't tried Windows PE yet but it sounds promising.

Windows 7 from a PC tech point of view

Part 1 Why I do not like it.

Windows 7 is the latest operating system from Microsoft. The only problem I have with it, is that its just Vista 2.0. If you liked Vista you will love Windows 7. If you Like Windows 7, but hated Vista, you clearly weren't shown how to use Vista very well.
From what I have seen of the Windows 7 commercials, the 'I'm a PC' elements of Windows 7 are also available in Vista. Except Homegroup, thats new to 7.

The reason I think Vista was a flop, was because it got hit by bad publicity from the 'I'm a Mac I'm a PC.' commercials. When it first came out it did indeed have some problems. Service pack one fixed those issues.

Now that those issues are fixed, rather than push out an update that would make Vista operate like Windows 7. They release a brand new operating system. Charge hundreds of dollars for it and make a profit and get people to love it!

Its insane because Windows 7 is built off of Windows Vista. Making it Vista 2.0. Windows 7 is the latest operating system from Microsoft. Chances are it won't be the last. In two or three years the next OS will come out. Probably be hated as must as vista was and then a few years later, a new OS that people love will come out.

The real reason I have a problem with Windows 7 is that I spent over $200 in books on Vista to learn as much as I could about it, so I could get certified in it. Well, when I heard 7 was coming out I stop training in it. Who wants to see Windows Vista Certified on a resume when everyone hates Vista.

Join me next time when I discuss why I like Windows 7 and recommend it, even if it means buying a new PC. (preferably through GEM Systems)
