How to hide a user's account from the welcome screen in Windows OS

 


1. Open Registry Editor.

2. In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

1. Create the following entry:


Username: REG_DWORD


(Where Username is the username of the user you want to hide from the Welcome Screen).


1. Assign a value of 0.

2. Close Registry Editor.

3. Reboot.


This will prevent the user from showing up on the welcome screen. You will need to press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the logon screen to get the old W2K logon style box to be able to logon to the account you’ve hidden. Adding a username and setting the value to 1 will cause that user, such as Administrator, to show up on the Welcome screen as well

Good day how are you all? Today am going to teach you how to Convert your FAT drive to NTFS manually without using any software.


WHAT IS FAT? 


FAT is an acronym that stands for File Allocating Table its the default drive type that comes with most usb pen drive, sd card, etc


 


 


 


WHAT IS NTFS?


NTFS (New Technology File System) is the standard file

system of Windows NT,including its later versions.


Convert FAT – NTFS :-


REQUIREMENTS; A computer running a windows os, any version.

Well charged battery or reliable ac power.


What Else? Lets roll!!


CAUTION; PLEASE MAKE A RELIABLE AND WELL UPDATED BACKUP OF FILES FROM THE DRIVE YOU ARE CONVERTING TO NTFS.


If you have done that which i stated above then we are ready to go.


To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps.

1) Open ‘Command Prompt’.


2) At the command prompt, type the following-

CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS.


eg: CONVERT F: /FS:NTFS

(THEN PRESS ENTER)

‘Convert.exe’ will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.


3) During conversion it might take more time to convert due to the size of the Drive.


NOTE :- Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion from FAT to NTFS is minimal, it is best to perform a full backup of the data on the drive that it is to be converted prior to executing the convert command.


Please if you like this post kindly share on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

How to backup PC HARD DRIVE

Find an appropriate storage device. You will need a device which is capable of storing all of the data you need to back up. This should be at least twice the size of the hard drive you are trying to back up.


An external hard drive is the best option, and these are easy to find. It is also possible to create a partition, if you wish to use your current computer as a backup. You should be aware, however, that this is a less safe option, as the system remains susceptible to viruses and hard drive failure. Plug the device into your computer. Using a USB cable or other method of connection, plug the storage device into the computer you wish to back up.


Inserting the device should automatically bring up a dialog box asking what you’d like to do with it. One of the options should be to use the device as a backup and open File History. Choose this option. In the event that this dialogue does not open automatically, you can set up the backup manually by going to the search and looking up File History. It can alternatively be found through the Control Panel.


Configure Advanced Settings. Once the program has opened, you may wish to alter some of the settings in the Advanced Settings section, accessed on the left. This will allow you to change how often the computer makes a backup, how long files are kept, and how much space is allowed to be taken up. Select a backup drive.


With the settings configured, make sure that the correct backup drive is selected (the external drive should be chosen by default). Click “Turn on”. With all of the settings entered correctly, click “Turn on”. This should start the process. Be aware that the first backup can take quite some time and you may wish to begin the process at night or before you leave for work, so that you will not have to use the computer during the time that it is working. That’s it: you’re done!

Nowadays, passwords are the only form of security on most websites and computer systems. It has become one of the most common and easiest ways for a hacker to gain unauthorized access to your computer or network.


Password Cracking


Before we get into cracking passwords with programs, I will explain a couple old-fashioned ways to obtain someone’s password.


• Social Engineering – Social engineering is when a hacker takes advantage of trusting human beings to get information from them. For example, if the hacker was trying to get the password for a co-workers computer, he (Even though I use “he”, hackers are of both genders, and I just chose to use “he” in these examples.) could call the co-worker pretending to be from the IT department. The conversation could be something like:


Bob- “Hello Suzy. My name is Bob and I’m from the IT department. We are currently attempting to install a new security update on your computer, but we can’t seem to connect to the user database and extract your user information. Would you mind helping me out and letting me know your password before my boss starts breathing down my neck? It’s one of those days, ya’ know?”


Suzy would probably feel bad for Bob and let him know her password without any hesitation. BAM! She got social engineered. Now the hacker can do whatever he pleases with her account.


• Shoulder surfing – Shoulder surfing is exactly what it sounds like. The hacker would simply attempt to look over your shoulder as you type in your password. The hacker may also watch weather you glance around your desk, looking for a written reminder or the written password itself.

• Guessing – If you use a weak password, a hacker could simple guess it by using the information he knows about you. Some examples of this are: date of birth, phone number, favourite pet, and other simple things like these.


Now that we have the simple low-tech password cracking techniques out of the way, let’s explore some high-tech techniques. Some of the programs I will use in my examples may be blocked by your anti-virus programs when you attempt to run them. Make sure you disable your anti-virus program when you decide to download and explore them.

There are different ways a hacker can go about cracking a password. Below I will explain and give an example of each way.


Dictionary Attacks

A dictionary attack is when a text file full of commonly used passwords, or a list of every word from the dictionary is used against a password database. Strong passwords usually aren’t vulnerable to this kind of attack. In the following example, I will use Brutus, a very common password cracker, to show a dictionary attack against an ftp server. Brutus is a Windows only program, but at the end of this chapter I will list a couple more password crackers, some of which are made for Mac, Windows, and Linux.


Before I get into the example, you must first know what an FTP server is. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is a simple way to exchange files over the internet. If a hacker got FTP access to my website, he could delete/upload anything he wants on my server. An FTP address looks similar to a website address except it uses the prefix instead of. I set up an FTP server on my computer so I could demonstrate.
