DragonFury 3,019 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I have a problem. I have an old computer (3/4 years old) that I dumped him because he was having problems and shut himself down. Now I opened it and I could iniciate him but now I can't enter because I don't know my password. I change passwords frequently so I don't remember it. I don't care if I lose everything I just want to open it. How can I do guys? Anything I do it :unsure: If it's Windows you can use a Ubuntu Live CD.

Õ�weet 2,847 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 If it's Windows you can use a Ubuntu Live CD. Yes it is. It is windows vista. But you have to buy it? You don't know something free? I'm quite desesperate -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFury 3,019 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yes it is. It is windows vista. But you have to buy it? You don't know something free? I'm quite desesperate -_- Ubuntu is a free Linux based OS. You can download it here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ I assume what you're trying to do is to salvage some old files from your busted PC. In order to do that you can burn an Ubuntu ISO to a CD and run Ubuntu as bootable OS from the CD (Ithink instructions are on the Ubunut website). That should enable you to do bypass the Windows security and copy your files to a USB Stick or external HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphonyâ„¢ 11,329 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 What is the best tablet as of now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFury 3,019 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 What is the best tablet as of now? My first instinct would be to say the Galaxy Tab series. If it's the same quality as the Galaxy smartphones then that would be on my shortlist. But I also have my eye of the Asus Transformer tablets, the idea of having a tablet which can easily click into a physical keyboard just appeals to me.

I want it from my dad since it would be easy for him and the type a work he does. I just don't know which one to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
