Why You Should Use a VPN for Trading and Buying Bitcoins

by Leave a Comment

crypto currency australia and annonymity

Cryptocurrencies are a growing trend in the global financial market. But as much of a novelty as the technology still may be to some, there are equally as many pitfalls waiting for those who approach cryptocurrency trading too casually. Since the hackers are always on the lookout for easy prey, it’s your objective to not make yourself an easy target by learning about cybersecurity threats that are out there.

Whether you’re using a VPN Australia or the one from another country, this is an invaluable tool in your overall arsenal. In today’s post, we’ll be listing the reasons why you should consider one if you haven’t already:

1. Man-In-The-Middle attacks

One of the cleverest ways hackers can steal your Bitcoins is throughMTM attacks. In practical terms, this is when they trick you into sending the coins to their address instead of the one belonging to the intended recipient. Keeping your eyes peeled won’t be enough since certain types of malware can sneak into your device if you’re careless enough regarding what links you click online or the kind of networks you’re connecting to.

If a person is connected to the same public Wi-Fi network as you, they can install malware on your device without you knowing. Using a VPN will shield you from such attacks. This is because everything you send and receive when having it enabled is placed inside an encrypted tunnel that’s safe from those trying to intercept it. Another benefit of using a VPN is that your IP will remain hidden, which makes you much more resilient against hackers in general.

2. Online wallet safety

While you’re holding onto the Bitcoin you’ve purchased, a cryptocurrency wallet is a necessity, whether you like it or not. But if you’re not careful and don’t protect it well enough, its contents can fall into the wrong hands before you know it.

Regardless of the type of wallet you’re using, you’re subjecting yourself to cryptocurrency theft. While it’s quite a challenge to snatch Bitcoin off of a hardware wallet through digital means, online wallets are a different story. Even though you may choose a strong password to protect them, you’re still dependent on how secure the platform is. So if you’re going with the online variant, it sure doesn’t hurt to do your due diligence and stick to reputable providers. And never log in to any of these without having a VPN enabled. This is necessary to keep your login credentials safe from being intercepted.

3. Government surveillance

Lots of Bitcoin traders are confident about their anonymity. But the fact of the matter is that Bitcoin ispseudonymous at best – the rest depends on how smart, educated, and careful you are when initiating any kind of transaction. But no matter how much effort you put into it, there’s another enemy on the horizon – your ISP. One thing’s for sure: they know every single website you’ve ever connected to. This is problematic not only from the perspective of protecting your privacy. Depending on the laws in your country, the government can come knocking on their doors. And if ISPs are obligated to forward your data to the authorities – there goes your privacy.

Fortunately, the answer to this problem is using a VPN. Yes, not only does it keep your web traffic hidden from would-be snoopers, but also from your ISP. If being a thorn in the foot of government surveillance sounds in any way appealing to you, this is the route to take. After all, they have no business examining it, nor should you let them. By using a VPN, what you do online will be left a secret safely kept between you and the server you’re connecting to.

Conclusion

As is evident from the points made above, using a VPN is the only safe way to trade cryptocurrencies online. Without one, you’re subjecting yourself to so many risks – the kind that are not worth taking. This is especially true since most modern VPN providers can offer you a monthly subscription rate that will set you back for a measly $3. Clearly, the risk/reward ratio is in favor of staying safe and taking them up on their offer.

by 1 Comment

There is no denying that we have started to use computers more and more and therefore spend more time on a table and chair. In this progressing new age, where almost everything is available on the click of a mouse or on a smartphone, health risks are becoming more apparent and more frequent.

Choosing the right sit stand up desk

Knowing your space available and what you really need is important when choosing a sit stand up desk. A few pointers below will help you choose the desk that is suitable to your needs.

· Decide if you need a height adjustable sit stand desk or one that is portable and will sit on your existing desk

· Measure the space where your will have your desk. Dimensions of the desk are important to the space where you will use it.

· Does your desk need electricity or is it hydraulic

· Desks are heavy. What are the shipping charges for your product.

Are they health benefits with sit-stand desks ?

posture or positioning for stand up desk

According to a study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, it’s not clear that standing instead of sitting burns a significant number of calories. It did find that you burn slightly more calories an hour when standing rather than sitting.

However, we do know that long hours of sitting are linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer, and shorter life. So rather than sitting, standing would counteract these risks. There have not been enough studies done yet to either prove or disprove these assumptions.

Keep in mind that using a standing desk is like any other “Change in lifestyle or workstyle”. It can come with its own “side effects.” For example, if you suddenly go from sitting all day to standing all day, you run the risk of getting leg, foot pain. The best is to ease into it by starting with 30 to 60 minutes a day and gradually increasing it as is appropriate for your body.

How to start a online ecommerce store business with dropshipping and shopify

by 13 Comments

If you are looking to make money online via blogging or  ecommerce stores in Australia, then this tutorial with shopify for creating your online shop will help you get started in 2020.

It involves making an eCommerce online store and selling stuff/products on the internet from other merchants and making a commission (this is called drop shipping) as opposed  to  making money with affiliate commissions via links on your blog.

Creating your australia online store

I have researched online shops and selling quite extensively before starting my first online store and there are many ways you can do this, but using Shopify and Ali express seems to be the easiest way to getting started with your own online internet shop.

You can even give it a go by trying it for free today with the free trial offer listed here.

 The shopify online shop setup Guide

This has worked for many newcomers and also internet marketers in the eCommerce niche because it’s easy to set up and requires minimal effort.

These two platforms are one of the best platforms for this method and is the most easy to use internet-shop building software available today.

If you are just looking to build an income, by just starting a website or your own blog then you can read my this post over here, but if you are serious about making some  money on the side selling stuff on the internet then read on.

I can most certainly vouch for the getting started process  given below as I myself have just started a shopify ecommerce drop-shipping shop and got  sales going on my brand new shop. I’m not yet there,  like some of the other gurus/wizkids who do up to  a incredible $50k  a month and possibly wont be there for a while, but hope to make some spare change in the meanwhile.

I do know a few people who make that kind of money(10k to 50k turnover  a month) doing this featured online-selling method.

Some of the tips, in this detailed guide has been provided to me by my experienced marketer friend who is making up to $10,000+ a month.He is using aliexpress and shopify for his stores with this drop-shipping method  for selling stuff online.

 Earn with dropshipping

So what is this dropshipping – Drop-shipping is the process where you buy from a wholesaler online and resell it online to another buyer and make a commission in between.

This can be done by you selling a product collecting money  for it  from the buyer – then purchasing the same product from a  wholesaler and providing  the buyer address (from your shop) for the wholesaler  to ship the product to that client. This is called dropshipping as you physically dont have to store any products  or ship any products to your customer but just get all this arranged between the buyer and wholesaler
Drop shipping VS selling your own product !

Normal selling as opposed to  dropshipping involves  selling your own product , keeping inventory of your products , handling all shipping, packing ,tracking etc until  the product reaches your  customer/client.  You will also need space to store your products that you are selling. This  does involve a lot more work and money.

Many punters start with dropshipping because it is easy to start  with and if you start getting sales – it is quite easy to scale up to $10k to $25 K a month easily if you become good at it and learn all the ropes  – and this has become a full time income to many successful people.

This is a new  growing trend  in the online world and so is not saturated yet , so if you get in fast  you can still make money.

I  will provide you some screenshots of how I started my store along with the essential tips my experienced buddy gave me to promote and scale the shop and online bizness.

 How to start your own store

How to get your store online?

diferrent kind of stores online 2017
Well the reason so many people are starting ecommerce online shops is that shopify has made it  so easy to set up a store in minutes.
It doesn’t matter if you got  your own products to sell, selling someone else’s products for a commission, or you are selling digital products – you can do this by getting a shopify account.

Here is a quick step by step process to get you started with your new online  shop with shopify

1. Sign up for the free trial here  ( they will ask you for your email )

2.They will send you login info for your online shop  and you need to pick  an appropriate plan for your shop ( recommended one is  $29 for beginners- though if you can afford more go for $79 a month)

pick a plan 1

I chose the $29 plan as you can see

Then you  choose a name for your store and  click publish and its done , you will see the welcome screen like below

welcome screen shopify 2 shop small

Now you can  add products to your store manually by  clicking on the products  link as shown above and adding prices and pics and descriptions (its that easy  and you can start selling in minutes). Here is a look at the front end and back end of a shopify store.

If you are going to do dropshipping than you can pay like an extra $4.99 a month  and get oberlo app add on – which makes it really easy  to add products and pics description automatically from aliexpress with one click ( Aliexpress is china’s biggest wholesaler that sells stuff cheap online and many new online store entrepreneurs use this website to do  dropshipping selling stuff on their online store).

To make a profit , you will need  to mark up the product prices you import into your website with oberlo and then sell.

If you dont want to spend the extra money  on oberlo, then you can do the adding products manually as well.

I would suggest adding atleast  20 products  to your store  as a start to get some variety in your store  and setting up the structure and important pages ( privacy policy , about us , contact us pages, social media buttons +pages etc)

change to a proper domain name from godaddy

I would suggest though that you get a good domain name  for your shop from godaddy  (they got a current 30% off deal for au users- get it here ) eg. www.myrabbitgear.com, rather than the  free shopify domain name that you get  with  your  shop account.  eg. rabbitgear32.shopify.com as a proper name with .com looks more professional.

You can do this by  buying a relevant domain name from godaddy and then  getting it to point  to your online shop by following instructions from the domains area in your online shop  or then  contacting godaddy support and getting them to help you out doing that.

Improving your online store look

By default  there are many free themes  you can use on shopify once you sign up for an account.

A theme is basically what changes the look of your shop and you can choose any free theme to change the look of your shop.

Shopify has some decent  free shop themes .Another way of making your shop more attractive is  to get a nice paid theme  for your store that will make it look better than the rest,  but the free provided themes have some great ones  too if you are on a budget.

They are  shopify them providers from outside of shopify as  well if you want o shop for a great cheap theme outside of shopify.

The best way to promote your new shop  is to  start a facebook page for your shop and then integrate it with  facebook to show new products launched , it will look something like this  once integrated

the 007 shop small

They also make it seamless to advertise with Facebook advertising and ads  for your online-shop.

 Why choose shopify

Why shopify as a ecommerce platform?

People who are more into coding and programmers prefer magento ecommerce software, but most people prefer  shopify  for these reasons(my reasons)

  • Easy to use and set up
  • Amazing free themes (don’t pay)
  • Set up online shop in minutes
  • Can start making money quickly due to  easy integration with facebook and facebook ads
  • Case studies & success stories from people who started shops provided
  • Regular tips and tutorial posts from shopify newsletters
  • Easy for Promoting  your store and getting sales
  • Free 14 day Trial offer to test it out for free

#

 Promotion Methods

Once you have your store online, you will need to promote it to make sales.  Facebook , instagram  are good platforms to get sales for your shop with advertising on Facebook and Instagram  sponsored shout outs.

Google Adwords, Bing advertising , linked in and Pinterest advertising are other advertising options you could try depending on your niche.

Health products normally do well with Instagram promotion.  With Facebook advertising – if you target your niche properly it can do wonders.

You can s start making money with this method just by getting the monthly plan and Facebook advertising- but there is  many  add-ons that can still help you get more sales.

They are some paid ones which I will list below.

  • Oberlo – adding products seamlessly to your onlinestore (available via shopify portal)

An expert guide to online gaming security

by Leave a Comment

 

 

With roughly 2.3 billion gamers across the globe, video gaming is now the largest entertainment industry in the world. But while online gaming is a fun, highly popular pastime, it can also present a number of cyber security risks to unsuspecting users.

security for gamers

 

From personal and financial data to in-game items and cryptocurrency, there are a range of assets that can fetch significant real-world prices for cybercriminals – and online gamers often trust as much of their personal information to gaming platforms as they do when online shopping. A moderator for RuneScape recently stole billions in virtual money from players, with a real-world value of $100,000.

To help, the experts at ESET have put together a list of 10 tips for staying safe when online gaming:

1. Keep your authentication game strong

Password reuse is a common issue in online game, as gamers often need to manage accounts for multiple platforms, like Steam and Origin, and for individual games themselves. This can result in the use of duplicate, or easy to remember but weak, passwords that are easy for hackers to breach.

To prevent this from happening, ensure you choose a strong password. If the platform or game has a two-factor authentication option, enable that for your account and create a password of at least 12 characters. If two-factor authentication is not available, or you choose not to use it, choose a password of at least 16 characters.

In either case, choosing a phrase consisting of several words (that aren’t too common) like a book or song title, song lyrics or similar, will make your password easier to remember. Finally, ensure you have a different password for every account or game. If you’re worried you won’t remember them all, consider using a password managing service to help.

2. Be careful what you click on

From unofficial cheat codes to unfamiliar links, be wary of downloading anything from an unknown source. These are unlikely to work and may contain some form of malware. Likewise, only download official upgrades and levels. Phishing campaigns are frequently targeted towards online gamers using popular games, and can even pose as a friend in an attempt to send malicious links via chat platforms.

3. Guard your personal data

Often player accounts are most valuable to the cybercriminal, and hence the most highly targeted. From geotargeting to monthly payment subscriptions, online and mobile games can collect large quantities of data about their users. This provides hackers with a wealth of opportunities to steal personal information such as your location, online activity, and financial details.

Avoid providing too many personal details where possible, and make sure you verify the legitimacy of any platform or game you engage with. Delete all personal details from consoles and PCs when you pass them on to others, are using a public device, or are throwing your device away.

4. Protect your email

You might not think your email is as important as your bank details, but it can still be used by cybercriminals to attempt a breach. Be sure to protect your contact details such as email, phone number or social media accounts as carefully as possible. Never give away your email address to unauthorised sources, as you might then receive spam or emails that contain malware.

5. Keep your real name under lock and key

Online gaming can expose you to a wide range of strangers, and you can’t always verify if everyone you interact with is trustworthy. Beware of who you talk to and what you say to other game players. Never reveal any personal information such as your full name, email, school or workplace, and choose a username that is completely different to your real name. In addition, never put a clue to your date of birth in a username or add personal details to your online profile or avatar.

6. Secure your mobile devices

Many online gamers now use mobile apps to play – giving hackers the opportunity to breach vulnerable mobile devices. Unwanted or infected applications might cause harm by exploiting your phone’s data or functions. However, there are many kinds of mobile security solutions, such as antivirus, anti-phishing and proactive anti-theft protection, with options for both Android and Apple.

7. Make the most of multi-factor authentication

Many games and platforms offer options for two-factor authentication. This will add an extra step to the login process, sending a code to either a registered email or phone number, or a predetermined code, to ensure you remain protected in the event someone obtains or guesses your password.

8. Watch out for bad behaviour

Report any inappropriate behaviour, bullying or abuse you see online to game administrators or software makers through their official reporting procedures (which they should always have). See if the game can block abusive players directly, and take steps to remove yourself from any unpleasant situations.

9. Ensure extra security for children

games online

If you are a parent, guardian, or teacher, it’s highly important to establish appropriate parental controls to prevent children from entering unknown pages or links. You should also educate children about basic rules and tips of cyber security to suit their age, and carefully monitor what young children in your care are accessing on the internet, so you can ensure they’re staying safe at all times. Some cyber security solutions even provide parental controls as part of their service.

Never allow your children to meet up with people they have met only online.

10. Keep your devices updated

Whatever device you use for online gaming, outdated software can provide an array of vulnerabilities for cyber criminals to attack. To avoid a breach, it’s vital to ensure all your devices’ operating systems, antivirus software and critical applications are properly installed and kept fully up-to-date.

Play safe and have fun

Online gaming should be a fun, safe pastime you and your family can enjoy worry-free. A comprehensive, multi-device security solution such as ESET’s Smart Security Premium is a great way to stay protected against malicious online activity, ensure the apps you download are safe, and unmask potentially unwanted applications.

The Step by Step guide to Clickbank Income in 2019

by 12 Comments

 

2017 click bank guide surf strength

Updated : 13/03/2019

I am a clickbank member for quite some time now, actually for the past 3+  years now and did nothing much with my CB account for quite some time. It just lay there idle.  I did not make much money with click bank at all in that time.

There was that intermittent or occasional sale now and then from  those old promo codes put on my websites, but no big money or  $$ or  anything and no spectacular income from those sales.

Then one day just randomly,  I decided to link to a click-bank  promo code for  an e-book directly related to one of the niches on one of my established blogs. To my surprise, I suddenly saw my sales jump ( like 2 to 3 ebooks being sold every month ) on a regular basis.

2019 become a super affiliateMind you the commission wasn’t great at about $3 to $4 per sale, however it was coming in on a regular basis. My earnings was still peanuts compared to some super affiliates like Rosalind Gardner(her course).

All it took me was 2 minutes to add that link to that article. Click-bank calls it a Hoplink. I was not a beginner in internet marketing, but surely a beginner in affiliate or clickbank marketing and so was happy to see these conversions happen so easy.

I was surprised and excited that just by  promoting  the correct “clickbank product” in the correct niche website,  I  started to earn money regularly without much effort at all. Off course, I do have to tell you that  the blog where the link was, was a good blog with genuine content that attracted a lot of unique users  to that niche.

At 700 to 900 unique visits a day  on that blog, I was doing pretty well selling  2 to 3 books a month  without much effort and I didn’t even use facebook or social media to promote  this click bank product. I actually didn’t even do any SEO or promotion or back linking. What was converting that product into sales was that targeted traffic i was getting

It didn’t even take much time  to create that article that made those sales happen. The article that sold most of the books was  probably 20 minutes. Of-course it helped that  the whole blog  was quite popular and had a good relevant content  and so the article was  easier to  find on google search engine.

Website: http://www.clickbank.com

Today you have the opportunity to cut the learning curve, by enrolling in clickbank university that teaches you the whole process of promoting a product online as well as making your own products to sell on their platform, its called Clickbank University 2 .

I did some research immediately  to see  how I could improve my “click bank sales” after noticing my spurt in sales initially, and I have detailed  a few tips  that might help you also improve your Click bank sales  if you re into  this kinds of affiliate internet marketing. These tips can give a boost to your earnings  and make you some money, if well implemented.

Its not a step by step guide to clikbank, but has enough information for you to get started on the right foot and  to get some sales going.

Browse CBGraph website ( the movers and shakers of click-bank) 

This is one of the most important sections of the site since it’s the only way to sort out the listings before/after making a keyword search. A useful site like Cbgraph shows the Movers and Shakers on CB and is an excellent resource.

Clickbank can be a very lucrative affiliate program because the commissions ( Some are as high as 75%.) are incredibly high. The products are mostly  digital products – eBooks, digital products, software etc. There are no distribution costs as goods are mostly delivered by email except for few, so that’s one reason Click-bank can afford to offer such a large share or commission  to their affiliates and publishers.

Here is a 2014  screenshot of my earnings from clickbank only.

Its increased much more since then to now in 2016 and i am still banking in 2019

I  promote click-bank  on several of my websites  including gadgetaustralia.com  this blog and  digitalfrog.com.au and many others with several products on sale to make this kind of earnings.  I would suggest also getting a second CB account  to track your sales better and compare data.

Below you can watch a  video by nathanniel who has just started on the clickbank scene. Judging from his screen shots of earnings he is not earning as much as me  for now, but still good for  a starter  and  his methods  to select  a affiliate product is pretty good which are also shown in the  video.

By the way  to get that kind of sales  and $$ you will also need to spend some money on SEO, back linking  and advertising or then do it yourself  like me if you got time to spare.

But if you really want  a jump start with your affiliate marketing  and you are just beginning, then  this course from Affilorama – Internet and affiliate marketing course is pretty good

Tips and tricks to Increase click bank products sales

The complexities of the huge size of ClickBank  means there’s a lot of junk/worthless material on the website as well as good material to promote. The time taken to sift through the good products to promote,  and choose the correct products will eventually make you selling  efforts a winner.

The pic below with arrows shows the most relevant  stuff that you need to know  when you are choosing your affiliate product to promote . I just chose a random affiliate  today , that I  am testing right now and you can see I just got two hops on this offer already.

The red arrows point to relevant bits , with explanations below.

How to choose a Click bank affiliate product!

2017 clickbank course make money

 

This particular product pays $25.45 per sale on average. Now, it’s important to note that the amount you earn per sale may not match that number exactly due to upsells, sales tax, chargebacks, etc. However, this will give you an idea of what you can earn.

Check out the Stats information at the bottom of the result. This provides more details about what you can earn.

Notice the Initial $/sale stat is much lower than the average $/sale. This particular vendor offers several products, which is why the initial sale stat and average sale prices differ.

Average %/sale means the average commission for this product is 60% per sale.

The Avg Rebill Total of $, indicates this is a recurring billing product and that’s the average amount the affiliate earns. So not only can you earn for one sale, but you will also earn for any customer re-bills. This is how your income can really add up over time. There is no re-bill on this product

Popularity ( this is in the product search field when you are searching for a product to promote)

This should mean a measure of sales. I check the top 10 products in the category, sort them by referred sales (60%+ is best/$30+ earned per sale)

Gravity

What does ClickBank Gravity mean?

The meaning does not tell you how much money the product has made or what percentage it converts at. Gravity only counts the first sale each affiliate makes. However, if it has a high gravity it’s probably because people are having good success with it.

How to find high converting, high paying items with low return rates

A high commission product , recurring payments, and a high gravity is what you want to look for. Be sure to watch out for that gravity! I found more that one product with HUGE commissions and rebills, but a super low gravity.

Saying that , things are changing  and you can now find low gravity products  with low competition that you can make lots of money on , if you got a relevant niche website  on that  topic .

The key  for 2019  success is  just make sure  if you are using a landing page  that is is super built to convert  that product, or then  make a pre -landing page  if the affiliate landing page is not good enough for the product .

Making money with Clickbank and Facebook  Linked in and twitter

If you can make a good landing page then you can also convert sales for clickbank safely from traffic from facebook, twitter, linked in and other social media  accounts

If you can be bothered  about landing pages  just make a really good helpful article  with your  click bank  link sprinkled in the article with a call to action included in it.

Another good tip that has doubled my income in one of my blogs is free ebook giveaways. People love free stuff and if you are willing to put the time to create something of value to them for free, it is likely they will be grateful and give you a sale knowingly or unknowingly when they click on your affiliate link in that free ebook giveaway.

3 tricks to reset your forgotten windows password

by 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

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

Hope one of the methods above help you get back access into your computer.
