Windows 7 is the hottest topic on the internet now. So I can’t help writing another article about it. Does windows 7 reach a goal that vista cannot, although Bill Gates thought it would? Besides, where is windows xp’s future?
Windows 7 was officially available to the public in October of 2009, which is the latest public release version of Microsoft Windows. Microsoft is hoping it can avoid the negative press that surrounded the launch of Vista, almost three years ago. Compared with Windows XP, do you think Windows 7 is better than Windows XP?
With the launch of Windows XP in 2001, we thought we were poised on a brink of a new world of NT-based goodness. So many people have been big fans of XP for a long time even though the new Windows 7 has released. According to a survey, the reason is that they think Windows XP is still the best choice for an operating system. Sure Windows 7 and Vista look nicer, but in terms of performance, they think XP is the one to go with on average. But it is a real fact : Windows 7 is simply the best version of Windows you can get...

Creating a password reset disk is the best way to prevent you into the forgotten windows password disaster. With it, you can easily reset your password and get right in to Windows.

BEFORE creating a password reset disk you have to prepare these:

There are two passwords in BIOS. One is start up password, the other is BIOS setting password. If you have forgotten the start up password that means you cannot open computer at all. Then the first method is the only thing you can do. Other methods can use to clear setting password.
==①:Motherboard Battery Discharge==
The common way to reset start up password is discharge Motherboard Battery. Most of the current motherboard BIOS is using the button batteries to provide electric power. That means if there is no electricity, the information it contains will be lost. When it’s on power again, BIOS will set back to its original state, of course, there will be no BIOS passwords. But you will lose your setting at the same time.
What we need to do is to power off computer, open the computer box, and then unplug the power plug of the computer to make sure that it is no electricity at all. Then locate the white silver button battery on the motherboard. Remove the battery carefully. Perhaps 30 seconds later, put back the battery...

Myth: if it is encrypted, it is secure
Truth: if it is not encrypted, it is not secure
Before creating a password you should know:
⑴ NO password is uncrackable.
The best you can do is making it difficult and non-trivial to determine your password.
What's the worst password? The one you've forgotten.
Password recovery is the most difficult process, sometimes even is impossible.
⑵Whatever method you choose, it's a good idea to change your password often.
The more important the password, the more often it should be changed.
Why? If someone is attempting a brute-force attack on your password, the hope is that you're changing it to something they've already tried and found to be wrong.
⑶The longer the password, the harder it is to 'guess.'
Note: many systems limit passwords to 8 characters.
Some clever people are foregoing brute-force hacks (e.g. dictionary attacks), in favor of 'social engineering' to obtain passwords...

A new Windows 2000 installation, or a Windows 2000 upgrade from Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98, may unexpectedly prompt you for a password. The following notification occurs when you log on to the Windows 2000-based computer:
Logon Message:
The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case. Make sure that Caps Lock is not accidentally on.
1. The Windows 2000 security model is based on the Microsoft Windows NT security model. This security model requires a user name and password before access to the computer is granted.
The Windows 2000 security model is different from the Windows 95/98 security model in that no authentication is required to obtain access to a computer running Windows 95/98. Users who upgrade from Windows 95/98 to Windows 2000 Professional may not be aware of these differences...
