I’ve already shared with you how to make a Ultimate boot disc for Windows and in the main menu for Ultimate boot disc there is a password reset tool. Windows Vista also gives you a chance make a password reset utility that you can place on a disc or flash drive.

Open up User Accounts from the Control Panel then select the link for “Create a password reset disk” which is on the upper left hand side. The Password Wizard that pops up gives you basic information about how the password reset tool works, just click next. Then choose the drive where you want to create the password key on. You’ll be asked for your current password (hope you haven’t already forgotten it). And that’s all you have to do, just don’t forget where you placed your password reset disc ;P

Everyone has received an inebriated email from an ex-lover or co-worker (or anyone you know, for that matter!). You know the type of email; too much information, confession-booth ‘I still love you’, and just plain not-thought-out ‘wow you’re drunk’ type of emails. Maybe you’ve even sent some of these emails yourself? Well the good people at google labs have taken steps to help stop the scourge of ‘drunk emailing’. Once you install the Mail Goggles you can set a time frame for activation (the default is Friday and Saturday 10PM – 4AM) and once activated, Mail Goggles will make you solve five math problems in a short period of time in order to send a message. The thought is, if you’re clear of mind enough to do math, you’re clear of mind enough to send an email without regret. So sorry, Laquanda, no more drunk emails from this admin about our tenth-grade missed connection. Now if only Google can make something similar for Android, maybe we could quell those ‘drunk-dials’ too.
