 What are some secret tricks you need to realize Windows?

You can change any Windows OS password with none clue of the present password.




Step1:

Open prompt (Run as administrator in Windows Vista/7/8) (In Windows XP you do not got to run as administrator)



How to Run as administrator??


(In the search box, type CMD, right click on this and there would be an option named "Run as administrator", click and choose "Yes" to proceed further)

OR

(In general, if you would like to run any application as an administrator you'll use "Ctrl+Shift+Left_click")



Step2: Type "net user" without quotes and press enter. it'll show all the active accounts (for example, Administrator, Guest, temp, etc.)


Step3: Now choose an account name that you would like to vary the password (let's say you chose the ABC account)


Step4: Type "net user ABC" without quotes and press enter. you will see core details of your account.

(NOTE: This step is simply to verify whether you chose right account or not)


Step5: within the last step you type "net user ABC *" without quotes and press enter.

(Note: after the account name, there's one space then an asterisk (AKA star))


Now it'll invite a replacement password :)

Enter the specified password and re-enter for confirmation and you're DONE!!


(Note: once you type the password you will not be ready to see the password you're typing, but it's actually happening, so don't be concerned that , but take care about what you type (as you'll see within the below attached photo, the password isn't visible to anyone even i can not see).)


Here is that the screenshot of this process in Windows 8.




In the same way, you'll disable/deactivate any user account. [Warn!!]


net user ABC /active:no 

net user ABC /active:yes 


Other useful shortcuts are:


1) Select a File/Folder and press F2 = Rename file/Folder (I use frequently)

2) WIN_KEY + i = setting panel (In Windows 8)

3) WIN_KEY + x = another useful shortcut in Windows 8 for instrument panel , dev manager

4) Shift + Right_Click = choose "open command window here" to open CMD anywhere within the windows. (Useful option for programmers :))

5) WIN_KEY + TAB = 3D view of all opened windows (use CTRL + WIN_KEY + TAB to carry windows in 3D view) and press TAB button to maneuver windows forward (SHIFT+TAB to maneuver backward).


Make a folder without a name:

Select file or folder and rename it (or press F2 as described above), clear the present name. Now hold the "Alt" key and press 0160 from the right-side number keypad and now release the "Alt" key and Enter. (It won't work if you employ keyboard's upper number line.)


(NOTE: Most of the fashionable laptops do not have the right-side number keypad so a method to try to to this is often get a external keyboard or another shortcut is true click and choose "Insert Unicode control character" option then LRM (left to right).)


Now all the reserved words are often used as a file/folder name which aren't allowed in Windows, for instance , CON, AUX, NUL, LPT1, etc. Just press

ALT + 0160 (described above) then type one among these reserved words.
