Create a Password reset disc in windows for safety

A lot of people forget their user account password in windows Xp when they login to their system after a long time or simply they forget their passwords. If you forget your password then it will be impossible to login to your system account without the password. This is when a password reset disc comes in to handy.

When you are asked for the password, you can insert the disc instead of entering the password for logging on to windows.

Let us see how we will be able to make a password recovery disc.

Go to start > control panel > user accounts.

Then go to your own user account and then in the related tasks in the left side of the window, click on the “Prevent a forgotten password” link.

The forgotten password wizard appears. Follow the wizard, it will ask you to input a formatted disc, in your drive. Insert the disc and follow through the wizard and create your password recovery disc.

Now when you have forgotten your password you need not worry. Your password reset disc acts as a key for your account.

When you login, click on to the green arrow button below the user account display and you will be prompted to insert a password recovery disc. Insert the disc which you have created earlier, and now you will be able to login to your user account.

How to measure exact power consumption ( in watts) of a device in your house

This works only if you have a digital energy meter. Switch off all appliances in your house, except the device whose energy consumption is to be measured. Now go to the energy meter and usually there is a single white button which toggles between a variety of display functions like Voltage, amps, watts etc. Press the button continuously until you see the Watts information. Some energy meters will only display energy consumed in kW. So if you see .04 kW, that means the device is taking 40 watts, Note that kWh is different from kW. Say if you have a fan that consumes 40W. If you run the fan for one hour, your energy in kWh will be 40/1000 (conversion to kW - divide by thousand) *1 hour = .04 kWh. If you run the fan for 10 hours then 40/1000 * 10 = .4 kWh Usually, 1 kWh = 1 unit of electrical energy. So if you have a device which runs in lower Wattage, you can run it for longer hours for the same amount of kWh consumed. Thus saving on bills.
