3 tricks to reset your forgotten windows password

April 23, 2019 by admin 5 Comments

It happens to everybody at some part of the time. You lose your laptop or a computer password, and now you are locked out of it. This can become quite frustrating as you are unable to gain access back into your windows computer which has important files on it.

Fortunately, there are many options to get back into your desktop computer or laptop with custom paid software and also some free options available. Most of the available software normally works on all versions of windows from windows 10 to windows XP.

Majority of the operating systems on PCs in the world run some form of Windows, and we’re assuming you’ve got a Microsoft-based computer.  Unfortunately, Microsoft won’t help you if you have lost your password – it’s their security policy. There are tricks and methods to unlock your pc.

Below we list some of the options available to you if you find yourself in such a situation and need to unlock your computer again

[ninja_tables id="6390"]

3 NEW UNLOCKING SOFTWARE  BELOW (UPDATED 2020)

Use Your Windows 10 Password Reset Disk


USB stickUnfortunately for this to work, you should have done this before losing your password, and if you were proactive and done it before, then you can easily use this Windows 10 password reset disk that you created to unlock your PC.

The Windows 7 or 10 password reset disk is a disk you can create for free using your existing Windows computer. This acts as a backup forgotten password disk for password recovery when you lose your password on your computer either.

If you don’t already have it, I suggest once you get back access using one of our other methods below – make one immediately. Instructions here.

Reset Your Win 10 With This Free Trick


reset itEverybody likes free. And there is a way to reset your Windows 7 or 10 passwords with nothing but the tools and some skills you will need to learn as we go. This is an easy trick that anyone can pull off with a little bit of understanding and perseverance for the not, so tech minded.

It involves having to boot from a windows disc or flash drive and use your PC’s Command Prompt a few times.

See our – How to Reset a Windows 10 Password for a complete tutorial.

Given the fact that you have forgotten to make a password reset disk or an administrator account without password on your computer, this free option will be the best solution if you are on a budget and need a solution.

There are some other similar free options which need some technical skills as well like using the Emergency Boot CD – The EBCD (Emergency Boot CD) (fix unbootable computers and recover data from them) or the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (a utility that enables users to overwrite their Windows SAM file). These two utilities will also require using some command line codes.

Why do you forget your password? ( +Solutions)

We forget passwords because we are human. While most people tend to remember their passwords, there are occasion’s when you can forget them.  You can forget your password for many reasons – some of the reasons are listed below

  • You keep changing their passwords on a regular basis for security and forgot the last one
  • You have not used their laptop for a while and lost the password
  • You did not write down your password (not recommended anyway)
  • You made a complicated long-winded password and now can’t remember it

If you forgot your Microsoft account password, follow these steps.

Solutions:

Write it down

Write it down only if you have to, and if you do make sure it’s kept in a safe place – that you can remember.

Codeword your password

Save your password somewhere, but write it down in code that you can decipher easily looking at the word you have written down Eg if your password  is hpotter32#  and you like harry potter –  you could write down wizard32# in your diary  if that would jog your memory to the actual password hpotter32. While these are risky and not recommended methods as solutions, it is for people with not so good memory and who tend to lose it much more than others.

Lock it in your bank

If you have paid for a sake locker in your bank, write it down on a piece of paper and keep it there with your family jewels J

What $15 can get you for a brand or website logo

April 15, 2019 by admin 3 Comments

 

If you are looking for a cheap logo design online or pretty much 100 of services that can be done for just a fiverr, then I can point you in the right direction. I have been using this website that provides freelancer services in the forms of gigs, for quite some time now and I am absolutely wrapped by what you can get done there from just $5 onwards.

3 Top $5 Dollar Logo Makers Reviewed from Fiverr Website

#

My review of Logos’s From Fiverr.com

While people pay anywhere from $50 to $1000 for a high end custom logo or average logo design, I was able to get one for cheap as chips.

I use fiverr for not only logo design services, but have used them for audit of my websites, editing videos , creating videos, creating business cards, fixing code in my websites , advertising and promo testimonial video for my services , SEO services and many more.

I remember the last time I had a problem with one of my website creating coding errors , I managed to get a girl from cuba who fixed it up in 1 day for just five dollars. They are jobs that can be done for just 5 bucks in any niche and category.

# The best cheap logo freelance design services for just $5

I am writing this review to show you my short journey in sourcing some amazing logo designs at a an affordable price for this website and also some other ones. I have tried some slog services earlier in this website , but got medium to average results, but this time I was awestruck with the quality I got for just five dollars.

I was so pleased with these three logo design service providers that I decided to do a review on them and promote them, so that you can also benefit from it. If you want a direct link to logo makers in fiverr- go here!

The brief that I gave these 3 Logo makers was:

· Make a nice colourful logo with my website name “ start A website”

· And to put in llama in the logo if they can.

While I was told that this could be extra charge for a mascot inclusion, they still did a logo for me within 5 dollars, so I am not too sure if you would get the same deal if you order from them. But I am sure they can do an amazing logo even without a mascot.

Mention this blogpost (jeff) and see if they can include a mascot for you, but I can’t guarantee any discounts. You will need to register with fiverr.com to start buying any services for five bucks, it’s easy to join and sign up is done in a minute, Join Fiverr Here!

So the results, all of them were professional in asking if I had any special requirements and then proceeded to do the website logo. They got back to me within 2 days which was quite quick I think.

Here are the results of their services and also link to the provider’s fiverr gigs

I am not related or friends to any of the above logo providers and got in touch with them for the first time after reading about their services/recommendation in a facebook group.

As you can see for $5 this was an amazing result. I had decided to not use the logo if the logo looked average , but now I have to decide from them three, which one should I use – as they all three are equally brilliant.

I gave the same website  logo  to make to 3 providers , so there are 3 logos and one  digital grog and coupon collector logo i got later.

Here is proof of some logos I got done  for just a fiverr or 5 dollars

The logos were delivered as transparent png , so it takes on the color background of the page and this one is dark grey so it shows that background color, but if your page is white it will show against a white background. click the website links to see how the logos look on their respective pages

#

The start a website logo

This website is all about building websites and related topics – so I  wanted an image that would stand out and showcase some text as well.

I got two +1  logos for this one

1st logo

PNG_File

I loved this one  made by Alfred Grover , his logo gig is over here. As I told you –  you will need to register  with Fiverr before you order any gigs and you can do that here via this link – Register.

I chose this logo above to use from the  three providers that i asked to make a logo for this same website.The other two are below

alfred grover logomaker

They  providers normally charge another $5  fee if you want the source file. The source file enables you to edit the logo with Photoshop or other image software, but you can still edit the  logo image with your available software.

2nd logo

StartKC04aA01a

Above logo was done by kanishka, here logo gig is listed here. This was an amazing result, you can click that link to order a logo from her.

kanishka logocreator

It was a tough choice. I used the first logo. check out the website here – http://start-a-website.info/

I also got another logo from one of the logo providers  for start a website as part of this test  and that was an amazing logo  too.

3rd logo

This one was good too and unique in design, but not as striking  and colourful as the others. I could not find the provider for this one in my fiverr  history, but when i do i will update the details here,

If you got $15  to spend  I suggest  you give all the three logo  suppliers a  go as I did in this test and you can choose from the three different logos and use the rest two  for your own purposes.

#

The Coupon Collector logo

This logo I wanted it to represent discounts and coupons and stand out  with a design involving coupons and color to make a website brand stand out.

logo coupon collector497 x122 pxls

Check it out on the website here – http://couponcollector.com.au/

Takitchilan fiverr

I could not ask for anything better for a  five dollars , … Takitchilan did a good job , you can order a logo from him through  the link here

#

The digital Grog logo

My this website is all about technology, wordpress tips, gadgets and local reviews of websites and products- so I  wanted the logo to reflect this

DigitalFrogMHC07aA01b

I was a tad bit disappointed  with my own blog website logo ( Alfred Glover) , so decided to not use this for now and just use it  for branding in other vids docs etc. You can browse more Logo providers on fiverr here.

I would appreciate a little help, so let me know which one you like in the comments below, so that I can make my decision

I truly think he job done was of quality and professional. They say – A logo says a thousand words !

Best 10 picks for website name registration in Australia

April 1, 2019 by admin 33 Comments

UPDATED 01/04/2019:  If you want to “Start a Website”,  a blog or an online eCommerce shop you will need a domain name.  With a website name, you will also need a webhosting account to host your website files and website. The first most important thing you would need to consider is “Do I get an Australian .com.au domain” or do I get a  .com domain.  Website name prices are not getting any cheaper in 2019 and so it pays  to get a cheap webname provider.

digital grog au .com.au buy domains logo Sm

The price factor between .com and .com.au domain names can make a difference, and decide who you go with if you are on a tight budget.  The  Australian .au extensions are generally much pricier. Today there are heaps of  Domain name registration companies that not only provide Aussie domain extensions, but a whole lot of new exciting extension’s to choose from.

  • Register a domain name
  • Australian .au name or .com name
  • Tips to choose a website name

Best Domain Name Providers Online

  2. Crazydomains
  3. Namecheap
  4. Netregistry
  5. Hostgator
  6. Domaincentral
  7. Bluehost
  8. Domain
  9. 1 & 1
  10. Cloudflare

What is a domain name and how do you register one?

Let me explain it to you!

In simple terms, a domain or website name is like an online address to your blog or website.

Just like people need an address to get to your house, on the internet they need a domain name  eg.  johndoesblog.com , www.facebook.com  to find your blog or website .

So you can give a person your online address  which is  www.johndoesblog.com – they  then type that in their browser and reach your website/blog ( which is your online address).

You do not have to be a company or organisation to register a  top-level domain extension or a  .com.au domain name. Any individual can register a domain for themselves from less than $1 or $2 for a dot-com domain name (when they are special deals). When they are no discounts or promo offers available, the prices for this can be between the range of $10 and $14 for a year.

The dotcom.au Australia names are just a little bit pricier and can be priced anywhere between $22 to $49  a domain a year depending on who you buy it from – yes Australian domains are a bit pricier and you need an ABN (Australian Business Number) to get one.

In order to register .com.au domain names, as part of the registration process you’ll need to supply either:

  • an Australian Business Number (ABN)
  • an Australian Company Number (ACN)
  • a Registered Business Number (BN)
  • Trademark number

 

2

Should I get  a .com or .com.au domain extension

Your domain name is your website address or URL on the internet.

Domain names are the unique identity for your online Business. They help establish, promote and protect your brand. And they’re where you direct new and potential customers, so making sure your name belongs to you is essential.

Registering a .com.au domain improves local search results and marks your business as Australian. If you are just after starting a hobby website or a personal blog you can surely start off with a cheaper .com extension domain and it would not make much difference to your online presence.

Why is .au or .com.au  domain name important?

  • .au represents the Top Level Domain for Australia and is the preferred Domain Name for all Australians.  Japan (.jp) and Germany (.de) are other examples of TLD (Top Level Domains).
  • Any website that ends in .au is a website built specifically with Australian Internet users in mind, but open to a global audience.
  • .com.au are generally for commercial purposes and can include commercial entities – currently registered and trading in Australia, as well as commercial products and services.

One other way of getting a cheaper domain and still making the website name relevant to Australia is to either get the term/word Australia or Australian in the domain name you are planning to buy and get that as a .com  rather than .au

For example:  If you are thinking of starting a gadget blog – you could name it www.gadgetaustralia.com!  This way while you could be just paying $0.99 cents for a dot.com domain name and still letting people know that your domain is Australian focused. 

In this example even though you are not buying a .com.au extension, the name gadgetaustralia.com clearly shows that its an Australian related domain name and so you can get away with buying a .com at a cheaper price.

The price difference could be cheaper @$9.99 year (99 cents promo price)  instead of  $22 or more for a .com.au extension for a year. However saying that there are some providers that provide both  webhosting + free domain name offers, you can check out our 2019 listing of webhosts over here.

 

Quick Tips to choosing a Website Domain Name

  • Make it Memorable
  • Keep it short
  • Target your audience
  • Don’t use hyphens or numbers
  • Name should be brand-able
  • Keep it Interesting

Use these tips and you will not regret choosing  your website name or brand name for your business.

Most of the prices given below is  for 1 year term unless where specified for a longer term.

Most aussie domain names ending with .au extensions registration  has a minimum registration requirement of two years. This means  if the price is $22 for a year – you will be paying approximately $44 upfront to purchase or register a website name with au extension.

Cloudflare has decided to enter the business with a wholesaler price point for customers. They say they will get rid of promo discounts and just sell for a wholesaler even low price, rather than upping the domain name price when you need to renew. This is good news for those who are in the website or bloggin business for the long haul, rather than just testing/trying things out.

Can you buy a domain name forever?

Short Answer – No!

But luckily most domain name providers do  have a button in their settings/admin panel that say renew my domain automatically and your domain will renew automatically when 1 or 2 years are over. 

You can also set it to manually renew in your settings so that it doesn’t automatically get renewed on expiration and you don’t want get  charged for another year if you want to dump the domain name.

Most providers will send you and email saying your website name is going to expire and ask you if you want to renew or saying that it is auto renewing prior to expiring.

Domains ending with  .com  or .com.au are not the only options available and people can easily buy .info or .org  or .net .au which are generally more cheaper  than a .com or .com.au domain

 

when you need domain privacy block name address from domain

Privacy is another extra  that one might need to consider  while buying domain,  most domain providers  charge a extra charge for privacy ..so they block out your personal email contact and address from the website if you take the privacy option provide by the registrar.

 

How to Register Your Own Domain Name

If you have a website or blog , you should seriously consider registering your own domain name. So what is a domain name ? A “domain name” is a name like e.g. “www.digitalgrog.com.au/” or “gadgetaustralia.com” which you give to your website , which you can then  use to refer or point to your website or blog.

Registering a www domain in 5 minutes

Generally, there are no restrictions on who can register .com domain name, the period of registration can vary from 1 to 10 years
