WINDOWS USERNAME AND PASSWORD RECOVERY.

Recover Your Windows even if you forgot your password.

If you forget your username or password of your windows pc, you can easily recover it by your own. All you required is
1. Windows Bootable DVD/USB
2. Basic knowledge about the system. 


Once your computer boots into the installation disk you’ll see the standard Windows installation dialog box. After you pick the correct language, hitting Next brings you to the screen that gives you the option to repair your computer. This is where the fun starts

Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower left-hand corner as shown below.

 






 




Proceed further till you get the command prompt option and select as below.

 







We have to keep the backup of original sticky keys file. For that purpose you want to type the following command in command prompt.

------------------------------------------------------
copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\
-------------------------------------------------------

Once you hit Enter , you get a file copy confirmation. Then, you need to type in this string:

------------------------------------------------------------------- 
copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Restart the system......!!!!!


Then you will proceed to login screen. Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.

On the prompt, you need to enter the string Net user , followed by the username that you wish to use and the new password. Lets assume username is SHARATH and you wish to use the password as vighnesh, you would type in the string Net user SHARATH vighnesh.

 When you hit Enter , your username and password are reset. You just need to enter the new password in and away you ago.


Important

Now that you’re in, you need to bring the old file back. To do this, you need to open the Command Prompt as administrator. Then, you type in the string 

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy c:\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe 
-------------------------------------------------------------------

All done.... !!!!!!!!!! 




  

USB boot issue in windows7

BIOS Support
     The most fundamental go/no-go factor in using a bootable USB device is in the system BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). Either it will support USB booting, or it won't. If it does support USB booting, you'll probably have to enable the function, but that's relatively easy to do.

    First, check to see if your PC's BIOS supports USB booting at all: Do a full power-off restart of your system. As the PC wakes up, watch for text messages that briefly appear on screen. (If your PC normally shows a logo or other graphic at boot, try hitting the ESC key to reveal the text messages that the logo normally obscures.)

   Usually, the very first thing you'll see a message saying something like "Press DEL to enter SETUP." In some systems it's ESC, or a function key, or a key combination, instead of the DEL key; but virtually all systems announce some way to stop the boot process and enter the BIOS Setup program.


Different issues regarding USB boot which i faced.

1.Unable to boot in USB2,0 for the USB3.0 enabled system/laptop.
 
    I purchased a new HP laptop which is of 3.0 USB supported. I tried to boot via USB in that but its not at all accepting the pendrive for boot. I didnt get what actually is the reason behind this. I followed many steps and try to install windows xp also, though i face the same problem. At last i found the reason.
 In bios setup window, by default the USB3.0 is enabled so that its searching fot that type of USB. I disabled that and try to boot windows7 then it works fine.


2.Unable to boot using USB3.0 in the USB 2.0 enabled systems.

   We cannot able to boot using 3.0 usb in 2.0 enabled systems. But you can able to do the normal tasks like data transfer and all using 3.0 in 2.0 enabled systems.
