  1. Locked out my PC by reset


    I've been having some GPU problems this week SO I decided to change to on board graphics and reset my PC using Windows diagnostics.


    However after my computer reset and Windows 10 installed I was greeted at the log in screen with "Other User" which required a username and password.

    Confused, I browsed forum posts with people with the same problem and the answer seemed to be to reset it again with no internet connection. This is where the real problem starts. I go into windows diagnostic and I'm told I can't reset my PC because I need admin rights to do it but there are no admin accounts on my PC so once again I search for solutions. I log into windows using safe mode and use the cmd prompt to create an admin account so I can reset my PC however I am met with the same screen when I try to do this via the diagnostic screen. When in safe mode I looked at the accounts windows can find and all I see is "Administrator" which somehow doesn't have the admin rights needed to reset my PC.


    I am stuck


    Any help would be appreciated and sorry for bad English

    :)

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

    Locked out my PC by reset

    PC Build Steps

    1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
    2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount
