I forgot my Windows 10 password and no reset disk

I upgrade my Dell laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10, so still login to Windows 10 with local account. I often work on my office, I nearly don’t use my home laptop. On Sunday, I opened my laptop and enter the password to get into. However, I got the message saying that ‘the user password is incorrect’. I tried with other several possible passwords that I could remember, but nothing happens, only blocked me out of Windows with the incorrect message.


I thought I forgot my Windows 10 password. I searched for the solutions from internet with my phone. The following methods ware searched from internet:

Sign in with another account

This method suggests me to sign into my Windows laptop with other administrator account, such as the built-in Administrator account, or sign into Windows 10 with the other sign-in options, and then reset my user account password. But, unfortunately, I only created one local account on my Dell laptop, so there is no other account or sign-in options to get into my computer.

Reset Windows 10 forgotten password with password reset disk

This method is also very easy. Go to the logon screen, and enter the incorrect password to login again, when get the password incorrect message, click on OK, and click on Reset password, insert the password reset disk and follow the instructions to reset forgotten password. But what frustrated me is that I don’t have the password reset disk. I am so regret that I didn’t create a password reset disk on my laptop before. I forgot my Windows 10 password and have no reset disk, how to unlock my laptop?

Unlock with a USB disk

I got the suggest to create a Windows 10 installation disk or a password recovery disk with a USB from another computer. The Dell laptop is the only one computer at home, so, I took my laptop to my office on the next day. Unlock Windows 10 password with the installation disk is so complex, so I choose to create a password recovery disk.
To create a password recovery disk with USB, I needed to download a password recovery tool. There are many password recovery tools to choose. I got the Cocosenor Windows Password Tuner Standard to have a try.
  1. Download the Cocosenor Windows Password Tuner Standard tool and install it on my office’s computer.
  2. Insert a USB drive. (I needed to remove the data from my USB drive and restore it on the computer, or the data on it will be formatted.)
  3. I select the USB device, and Begin burning it to a password recovery disk. (It is very easy.)

  4. After burning successfully, I take it insert into my locked Dell laptop.
  5. Start my Dell laptop, and press the F12 key on keyboard repeatedly for several seconds. (On different brands of PC devices, the Boot Menu keys are varied.)
  6. When the Boot Menu screen opens, I choose the USB flash drive, and press Enter to boot my laptop from the USB Flash drive.

  7. After a while the Cocosenor Windows Password Tuner Standard program starts, I select the Windows 10 system, and my user account. Click on Reset Password, click on Yes to accept it. Click on Reboot, take out the USB drive, click on Yes to go on.
  8. At this time, my laptop boot to the start screen, and my laptop get into Windows without entering password. I was so excited that my laptop was unlock successfully!

10 top tips for Android Smart Phone Security

Compared to iPhone, there are much more people use Android Smart Phone. Similar to iPhone, Android Smart Phone is becoming a necessary part for our work and life. We call, send message, communicate and share the information and our mood with various SNS Apps, like  Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram. We can quickly send/receive email, handle our work. With the third-party payment service, we can also proceed payment. So the security of our Android Smart Phone is vitally important. Now we can learn how to make our Android Smart Phone safer.

1. Set a screen lock.

When we activate our Android Smart Phone for the first time, we can set a “pattern lock”—a personalized shape or pattern that is drawn on the screen to grant access. But the finger trace is easily seen. If it is stolen or lost, the others can easily access to the smart phone. So many Android phone maker upgrade the firmware to offer an alternative solution for screen lock—set a pin code, you can set a four-digit pin code (you may set a six-digit pin code in some Android smart phone). We also found some Android smart phone enables you to set a composite pin code—mix digit, letter and/or symbol. This will make the pin code is difficult to be decoded.

2. Set Fingerprint lock

Similar to Touch ID on iPhone, now more and more Android smart phone users can set their own fingerprint ID, with the fingerprint, you can also unlock your Android Smart Phone in a second. This will greatly enhance the security of your Smart Phone. If you still worry about pin code, you can use your fingerprint ID instead. It’s absolutely safe for you.

3. Do not trust the messages with links.

Some hackers might send a links with virus in a SMS message, if you click it, the malware or virus will be installed in your smart phone, your phone will be in a dangerous condition. If the bank card or credit card is bind to this smart phone, your money will be in dangerous as well. So DO NOT trust the messages with links.

4. Wireless Connection Protection

 Now the free Wi-Fi is almost omnipresent, it facilitates you to access the internet and saves your traffic cost, but please bear in mind, Do Not do the payment or handle the Apps related to your bank card or money information. Especially when you want to make payment through the third-party payment service, if you enter the password, your bank information might be leaked.  

Turn off the wireless connection when it’s not in use. Always switch off your wireless connection when it’s not in use. It ensures that people can’t connect to a device without your acknowledgement. It’s also worth checking your phone’s network security settings as it might be configured to automatically connect to a network when in range without you knowing. Ensure that your home accessed wireless router is protected by a strong pass code.


5. Protect Bluetooth use

Bluetooth isn’t generally seen as a risk as it has a relative shot range (10 metres approx). However, hackers have been known to remotely access a phone if they are in range.
Turn off the Bluetooth when it's not in use, so that people searching for nearby devices can’t see yours. Any unknown requests that pop up through a Bluetooth connection, such as an offer to ‘pair with a device' should be ignored or declined. A hacker in range could make use of your device through Bluetooth if it is not secured.

6. Application download security

If you want to download App, we suggest you download the App in authentic resource, like Google Play, you will get the App without malware or virus. Besides, when you install the App, please pay attention to the requirements that any software requires, it can be very easy to ignore anything in an effort to get the app up and running, but be careful of any demands to access various features of your phone. 

7. Using Private browsing mode or incognito mode. 

Be careful when accessing a web browser on your smartphone as it can be easy to accept messages that pop up. For example agreeing to save user details and passwords might make it easy to remember for later, but unfortunately others can do the same if they gain access to your phone. 

8. Turn off geotagging

Many SNS Apps automatically upload photos to the internet, The problem with this is that many phones embed location tags, also called "geotags," right into the photo files themselves. Anyone with the right software can look at your Facebook or Flickr pictures and find out where you have been and where you are right at that very moment. The geotagging feature can be turned off on most phones which gives you privacy and ensures that you can’t be found by someone you might not wish to be found by.

9. Install antivirus App

The capabilities of smartphones are approaching those of a PC, but many people have no awareness for the antivirus. Although they can face similar threats. Spam containing malware attachments or links to attack sites or infected apps that exploit weaknesses in the operating system are all starting to appear. 

Many antivirus companies now offer free versions of their commercial mobile products and also protection for multiple PCs and a Android Smart Phone, for a yearly subscription. Unfortunately, fake antivirus software, designed to infect your device or make you think it's protected when it's not, has also now made its way to smartphones so do be vigilant. 

 10. Turn on “Find My Phone”

Now more and more Android Smart Phone has the function of "Find My Phone", you may find it in the security setting, turn it on. Then you can view the location of your phone by logging in the cloud service of your Android Smart Phone maker. You will be able to lock, send alert message and erase the data.
