Windows 8: Set Up Extra Passwords

 

Unlike the previous versions of Windows, Windows 8 let user have more than one password option per account. By setting up additional password techniques, users can prevent getting locked our of their systems if the password is forgotten. This tutorial will describe how to set up and use a gesture-based password and PIN code in Windows 8.

 

Setting up extra password methods in Windows 8 has saved me several times when I forgot my primary password. In fact, one of the most popular searches on tech-recipes is how to log into a Windows system if the password is forgotten. By establishing these additional password methods, Microsoft is trying to avoid this problem in Windows 8.

1. Access the Charms bar. One way to do this is by pressing Winkey + C. Next, choose Settings.



2. Go to More PC settings.



3. From the left side of the PC settings screen, choose the Users section.


4. The right side of the Users section has three sign-in options for you to choose. The first one is the normal password that we probably set up right at the start. Other options available are picture password and PIN. First, let’s create a picture (or gesture) password.



5. In order to create a picture password, you have to verify your current password.



6. To set the picture password, click Choose picture.



7. When the image is loaded, you will be asked to draw three gestures on the picture. The gestures can be circles, straight lines or taps. Please remember the gestures’ positions carefully.



8. After you have drawn three gestures, you have to repeat them again to confirm. If succeed, you will be notified by a message like below. You can use your picture password right after that.



9. Creating a PIN password is simpler. All you have to do is enter a 4-digit code twice



10. When your new password is set up, you can use any method at the start screen to sign in.

How Do I Use Two Monitors with Windows 7?

These days everybody has more than one monitor available. However, running a dual monitor setup can be tricky to get working correctly. This tech-recipes tutorial will get you started.

 

These directions are for Windows 7 although the directions for XP and Vista are very similar.
Dual monitors rule! First things first, make sure your computer can support two monitors. The box will need the right outputs for dual monitors. I use a higher end GPU which allows me multiple HDMI outputs; however, Windows 7 is smart enough to use outputs of different types. For example, if you computer has a DVI and VGA outputs, you still can get a dual setup working. Most laptops have an external monitor connection which can be used as your second monitor.

1. Open the Start button on your desktop and in the search bar type Display. Click on the Display option when it appears.



2. From this control panel screen select Adjust Resolution on the left.



3. Your second monitor should be detected. If it is not click Detect then Identify. My favorite thing to do is use both monitors as one big desktop. To do this, under Multiply Display select Extend these displays.

You will likely want to make sure your left monitor is set as the main display where your Windows task bar will appear.



4. You can also duplicate the display which clone the image one one monitor to the second one.



Hopefully, you are now running a two monitor setup. If you find yourself having trouble getting your second monitor to display, just post in the comments and I will help you out. Check out Jimmy’s dual monitor tricks for additional cool things to do with a two monitor configuration.

Sony Playstation3 and PS3 Slim – How to backup your PS3 harddrive to an external harddrive / thumbdrive before upgrading

The Sony PS3 Phat and PS3 Slim are amazing gaming consoles and a great media center playback device too.  One thing that Sony has done right with the PS3 is that they allowed users to upgrade the harddrive using any normal SATA/SATAII, 2.5″ laptop harddrive.

 

However, the most common question I notice about upgrading is not the upgrade itself but how do i retain my data from my original PS3 harddrive? how can i backup that data?

Lets get to it: backing that ps3 hdd.

Requirements:

• External USB harddrive that is larger than the data on your current PS3 harddrive (ie 40gb ps3, 40GB external or smaller, depending on how much is used up) or a Thumbdrive or Memory Card (if you only have say 15gb of data or a fairly new ps3).
• FAT32Format (to format your ext hdd into fat32, ps3 will not read ntfs
• PC (windows used for guide)
• PS3 / PS3 Slim

1. Download FAT32Format from here.  Once downloaded, copy the fat32format.exe into your C:\Windows folder.

2. Connect your external harddrive to your pc and figure out which drive letter it is.  (in my example, D:)

3. Go to your Start Menu > Run or hold the Windows Key + R to bring up the Run window.

4. In the run window, type CMD and hit Enter.  This will open up a command prompt.



5. Type in this command, replacing myhdd with your drive letter of the external harddrive:
fat32format myhdd:
(in my example, i would type:  fat32format D: )
and hit enter.

6. It should only take a few seconds to do. Once its completed unhook your harddrive and connect it to your PS3.

7.  First lets backup our Trophies.  On your PS3, first go to Game > Trophy Collection.  Once you have Trophy Collection highlighted in your XMB, hit the Triangle button to bring up the menu and choose the “Sync with Server“. This will backup your trophies to the PSN server.  Do this for each user you may have on your PS3.

8.  Once thats done, go to Settings > System Settings > Backup Utility.   Then choose the Backup option.  It will warn you if you haven’t synced your Trophies and then do a Yes.  Then read the next prompt and do a Yes to that.

9. Choose the external harddrive to backup to and hit X.

10.  Now the backup process will start.  This can take anywhere from 2 hours to 12 hours (in my case w/420GB of data on my PS3′s 500GB harddrive, it would take about 12 hours for a full backup).

–After the backup completes, power down your PS3 and let it cool for an hour.  Remove your old harddrive, put the new one in.  (see my blog post / vid on how to for a ps3 phat here )

–Finally, restore your data from the usb harddrive we backed up to.  Just go to System Settings > Backup Utility > Restore and read and follow the prompts.

This will backup:

• Game Data
• Game Saves
• DLC
• Demos/Games
• Movies/Photos/Music
• Chat messages/sessions
• PSOne/PSN Games

PlayStation 3 – How to Install PS3 Themes from a USB Thumbdrive

Do you have a PlayStation 3 and wish you could change the theme on your PS3 without having to buy themes from the PSN?  Here’s how you can download and install PS3 theme files from a usb harddrive or thumbdrive.

 

PSN has a decent supply of themes but some of them just aren’t that nice or not even relevant; thankfully there are a ton of great PS3 theme artists out there and most post their themes for free on the web.  Here is a quick place with a large selection of free PS3 themes: http://www.ps3-themes.com/.

Now let’s see how we get that theme installed on our PS3. This does require a computer for the downloading /copying parts.

1.  We will need to have a USB Thumbdrive or harddrive handy and will also want to be sure that its formatted in FAT32.  The PS3 will not recognized harddrives that run NTFS.

2. On the USB Thumbdrive / harddrive, we will need to create a few folders to put the theme files in.
At the root level, create a PS3 folder (ie E:\PS3).  Go into the PS3 folder and then create a folder in here called Theme

So we should have a Theme folder under the PS3 folder (ie E:\PS3\Theme )

3. Find a PS3 theme you want to install.  Theme files end with a .p3t extension.

Copy the .p3t file to the USB thumbdrive / harddrive and into the Theme folder (ie E:\PS3\Theme\TokenTheme.p3t )
