I F*cked Up Again


Yesterday I changed all my passwords because of what had happened to my pictures. Also changed my password on the family computer.

Less than one hour later I had to realise that I had already forgotten the passwort from my laptop but thank god the newer Windows systems are all connected to something online so it was no problem to change it again.

The bigger problem was the family PC. When I tried to log in this afternoon I tried ~20 possible passwords, but none of them worked. My clue wasn't exactly helpful either: it was 'Nein.' It's still Windows Vista, so no chance of changing it online. What's even worse: I'm the only admin. So without the password you can't update or change anything on the PC.

...

But after searching online I found a program to delete the password, and after another 1 1/2 hours I had actually managed to understand the program enough to be able to log in without my old password. Woah. The first thing I did was to make a second admin account. Never again...
