How to Make a Strong Password?



Strong passwords are important protections to secure your desktop, laptop or different online accounts. So, make your password strong. 

Keys to password strength: length, complexity and uniqueness. 

  • An ideal password is long enough with combination of letters, punctuation, symbols and numbers.
  • Use at least 10 or more characters whenever possible. 
  • Although it is difficult to manage separate password for each account you have to do so. Cyber criminals steal passwords on websites with very little security, and then they try to use that same password and user name in more secure environments, such as banking websites.
  • Change your passwords often so that it can be difficult for hackers to hack. 
  • The greater the variety of characters in your password, the better the security. However, password hacking software automatically checks for common letter-to-symbol conversions, such as changing "and" to "&" or "to" to "2."
  • Use the entire keyboard, not just the letters and characters you use or see most often.

Create a Password That is Strong & Easy to Remember 

There are many ways to create a long, complex password. Here are some suggestions that might help you remember it easily:

  • Personal information. Your name, birthday, driver's license, passport number, or similar information.
  • And must not use your mobile or telephone number.

How to Delete an OS by MSCONFIG?



How to delete an operating system


It was at the end of 2011 when Windows 8 was released for the first time as developer preview version. I installed it on my PC with Windows 7 side by side. Most of the people didn't like it. But I was very impressed just after using it for few hours. 

Then I decided to remove Windows 7 to continue with Windows 8. Windows 7 was installed on Drive C and Windows 8 was on D. To delete Windows 7 I booted from Windows 8. And tried to format C Drive. 

But drive C was not formatted! Because Windows files were very much protected. They can't be formatted until you re-install your windows. What should you do now? How will you remove the OS that you don't wanna use? 

Let's find how to solve this problem. 
  1. Open System Configuration. (Hint: Start + R > msconfig > enter
  2. Select the Boot Tab.
  3. Choose the Operating System you wanna remove. 
  4. Now hit the Delete button. 
  5. Open My Computer. Format the drive where removed Operating System was installed. That's it. 

Don't try to remove the OS on which your PC is currently running! I mean if you wanna remove Windows 7 then start PC by Windows 8. Because you can't cut the tree on which you're climbing! :)
