Recover Windows Passwords?
Back in July I talked about Safe Mode, its uses, how to launch it other than by pressing F8, etc. I also said that I would explain how to use it to try and recover lost Windows passwords, so here goes:
If you lost the password on a Limited or Guest account, log in on the main or Administrator account. Click Start, Control Panel. User Accounts. Click the account in question, click Change the password, and follow the steps. Be aware that some information such as encrypted files or email may not be available with the new password. But what if you lost your Administrator password? That is where the fun starts.
Here are a few things to try. First, try to remember the password; get friends or family members to help you. Next, start Windows in Safe Mode. You will see the Administrator account listed as a user. Click it. No luck? Reboot, and at the Welcome screen, press Ctrl-Alt-Del together, twice, and you will get the Windows login screen. Try to log in by leaving the password field blank, or try “password” for the password (no kidding).
If nothing works, you may have to reinstall Windows. If you can somehow get into the Administrator account, go here for some tools to recover your password: http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ or for advanced users, http://www.oxid.it/cain.html
Here is a thought: Avoid all these difficulties by making a Password Reset Disk now, before you have these problems! You will need a floppy disk and drive. In Win XP, log in as the Administrator. Click Start, Control Panel, User Accounts, Change an account. Click on your Administrator user name. On the left, click “Prevent a forgotten password”, and follow the Wizard.
When you are done, write-protect the disk and keep it in a safe place. The procedure for Vista is very similar. Now, no matter how many times you change your password, this disk will allow you (or anybody who possesses it!) to create a new password. Just insert the disk and boot up.

Doom and Gloom
by Bob OsgoodbyMany retired folks are living on a fixed income, and in many cases have fewer financial resources then they envisioned before retirement. There were a number of contributing factors that contributed to this. Some who worked for companies that went “belly up” lost their pensions, and others who had heavily invested in shaky companies saw the value of their stocks plummet.
Some lost their jobs due to outsourcing. Others, such as pilots in the airline companies that were facing financial difficulty, were arbitrarily fired. Now, according to my sources, the average check flight to familiarize experienced pilots to a larger aircraft takes about an hour and a half. Senior pilots, who were also the highest paid, were forced to upgrade. They were given a test that lasted about four and a half hours. In other words, they were tested until they failed, were fired, and replaced with lower paid pilots.
The airline story is not uncommon in many industries. One company that I did consulting for, fired all their top executives and replaced them with lower paid, lesser skilled employees. This company went from the leader in online services to a minor player today.
Another fellow had a 401(k) retirement plan that was worth more than $200,000 and another $200,000 in stock options. When the bottom fell out of the market his stock options became worthless and his 401(k) dropped to $10,000. Only 1 in 14 people will retire on a comfortable income. The rest rely on welfare, charity and family.
Whatever the reason, more and more people approaching retirement age, find themselves in the ranks of the unemployed. Looking for an alternate source of income, many turned to the Internet to help fill this financial void. Little did they know that they were “fair game” for the scamsters that abound in hyperspace.
Enough of this “doom and gloom.”
There are plenty of opportunities to generate income on the Web. While Affiliate Plans and MLM’s seem attractive on the surface, unless you are prepared to work them as a full time job, you will not make a whole lot of money.
What you need to find is a niche market. The best bet is to sell a product or a service. The key is to find a niche market and try to sell something that is not readily available elsewhere.
An avid gardener in Upper New York grows herbs in her garden, packages and sells them over the Internet. One retired teacher writes “how to” articles, and another buys, sells and trades stamps. A former automobile mechanic has written articles on “easy to do” repairs that anyone can do.
A salesman and his wife travel to Costa Rica and buy jewelry and religious articles for pennies on the dollar. His wife learned some basic web building techniques because of their need to have a website, and turns a tidy profit doing web design for other people.
Almost everyone has something that they do very well. While most people don’t earn enough to make this their sole source of income, they do supplement their earnings to make a real difference in their life style. A few hours of work a day, doing something you enjoy, can make a real difference in the twilight of your life.

A Little Humor for the Weekend
The Blondes Are At It Again
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss Asked sympathetically, "What's the matter?"
The blonde replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying That my mother had passed away."
The boss, feeling sorry for her, says, "Why don't you go home for the Day? Take the day off to relax and rest."
"Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it And I have a better chance of doing that here." The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual. A couple of Hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks Out from his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically.
"What's so bad now? Are you gonna be okay?" he asks.
"No!" exclaims the blonde. "I just received a horrible call from my Sister. Her mother died, too."

An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. From morning till night (and sometimes later), she was always complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his old mule. He tried to plow a lot.
One day, when he was out plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump, and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wife began haranguing him again. Complain, nag, nag; it just went on and on.
All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet; caught her smack in the back of the head. Killed her dead on the spot.
At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement.
This was so consistent, the minister decided to ask the old farmer about it. So after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer, and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.
The old farmer said: "Well, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement."
"And what about the men?" the minister asked.
They all wanted to know if the mule was for sale.

Jack was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear.
"What's the matter?" Jack asked.
"I've been transferred to New Orleans, there's crazy people there. They've got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate."
Jack replied, "I've lived in New Orleans all my life. It's not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a nice private School. It's as safe a place as anywhere in the world."
The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?"
"Me?" said Jack. "I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser delivery truck."

NASA planned a mission that involved three astronauts spending two years in space. Because of the extended duration, each was allowed to take 200 pounds of baggage, with no restrictions.
The first astronaut decided to take along his wife, the second decided to take along books to learn how to speak German, while the third astronaut, who was a blonde, decided to take along cigarettes.
Two years later, when the space shuttle landed, there was a big crowd waiting to welcome them home.
First came the first astronaut and his wife and each of them had a baby in their arms.
Next, out came the second astronaut speaking fluent German.
They both gave their speeches and got a rousing applause.
Suddenly out came the third astronaut, who was a blonde, with a cigarette in her mouth.
She walked up to the podium and snarled to the crowd and asked, "Anyone got a light?"

Motivational Tip For The Day
by Jan TincherIt is said that nature doesn't like a vacuum. It continually tries to fill it.
That being the case, why don't you throw/give away your old clothes that you don't use or want anymore? Don't use or want being the operative terms here. The same with furniture, books, jewelry, etc. If it is true that nature doesn't like a vacuum and continually tries to fill it, then something will come along to fill up that space.
Why not step out in faith and let nature take its course.
