How to unlock security keyguard code for Nokia phones?

Sometimes we put password for security keyguard but any how we get error to unlock the phone. As per my experience following tricks will help you a lot

1.Try the password ‘12345’.It is default password for all Nokia phone security keyguard.
2.If it did not work try to regain password you changed and try entering by switch off –on your phone.
3.Finally just remind what you have done while locking keyguard. And use same method to unlock the phone e.g. If you are listening music through head phones and locked the phone then use same method. Connect headphone and enter the changed password to unlock. My case this was worked. Also other tricks are like while charging, Sim card removal and insert etc.

Other than above traditional way below are some technical-online tricks will help you-

1.Go to following site. Go to “Forgotten your Nokia security code? Click here”. Enter your IMEI number(You will find this number on your mobile bill or on handset box)
http://www.trycktill.com/eng/unlock_swe.asp

Once you click then in below window you will get new security code like 3644263089. Enter and unlock security keyguard. There is other site also which same as above. Below is its link
http://www.unlockitfree.com/

2.Sometimes you will get code generated from above sites in following manner
#pw+3644263089+1# .To use this code you should use keypad *key to enter the alphabets and arithmetic signs. e.g. press * 3 times to enter ‘p’ character.

3.Try both the ways to enter the security code above. That means if you get only code then use’ #pw+’ before and ‘+1#’ end of the number.
Below is method which is suggested me by Nokia help desk
First type 11111 then 22222 up to 99999 repeating for 3, 4, 5,6,7,8 digits finally 00000.
Then take battery out and wait a good 10 minutes this resets the code. Turn your phone on and repeat the same process above in the same order and wait 10 more minutes. Once turn it on it will ask for your security code. As you have followed the steps the code will now be to the default of ‘12345’ then enter your new code to change it.

If all the above did not work then contact retailer or Nokia help desk to get it unlocked.

Hope this information will help you all.

How to allow users to Run only specified programs in Windows 7?

You can allow users to run only specified programs in Windows 7 operating systems. It is up to you if you want your shared computer to allow users to run only specified programs in Windows 7. A shared computer in an office, for example, can be set in the same way if the company does not want the employees to run all types of programs. You can allow the users to run only specified programs in Windows 7 by using the Local Group Policy. However, you cannot do this in the Home editions of Windows 7 as it does not provide the Local Group Policy Editor.
Click on the Start button.
Type “gpedit.msc” in the search box of the Start menu and press the Enter button on the keyboard.


Local Group Policy Editor will open. Scroll down to “User Configuration”, “Administrative Templates” and then “System” on the left hand side of the window pane.
On the right hand side of the window, under “Setting”, navigate and double-click on “Run only specified Windows applications”.



Select Enabled from the window.
Click on “Show” under Options.



The Show Contents window pane will appear. Here you can type the applications you want to let the users run.
After you are done, click on the OK button.
Close the Local Group Policy Editor.



After this, if someone attempts to run an app which was not specified by you, he will get this error message:



This feature to allow users to run only specified programs in Windows 7 is the best at preventing the users from accessing applications you don’t want them to use on a particular computer.

Speed up your internet by 20%

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc

You can get it back:

Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes. This opens the group policy editor.
Then go to:
--> Local Computer Policy
--> Computer Configuration
--> Administrative Templates
--> Network
--> QOS Packet Scheduler
--> Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth.
It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e." By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

Folder Options Missing?

Many of us sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer due to some virus or trojan effect.
Here's the solution-->

Open Run and then type "gpedit.msc".
Now goto User Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Component > Windows Explorer.
Click on Windows Explorer you will find the 3rd option on the right side of screen "Removes the Folder Option menu item from the Tools menu"
Just check it, if it is not configured then change it to enable by double clicking on it and after applying again set it to not configured.

I hopes that you will find the option after restarting windows..

SPEED UP ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)

Adobe Acrobat reader always consumes more memory when it starts. The reason behind is, it loads all the plugins, even the plugins that you do not use. This trick is to remove all the plugins from the plugins directory to elsewhere. Hence, whenever you open Acrobat reader it directly opens the files without loading any plugins and the speed is just like Notepad.

1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)

2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).

Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).

Now your acrobat reader will load very fast and almost as good as notepad.
