Reseting Screen Saver Password

-

One of readers, Manish, contacted me and asked his query. He asked “Is it possible to reset the Password set on screen saver, as i have forgotten it completely. I need to set it back to normal. What can i do?“. On further questioning i came to know that he was using Windows 2000 and he need to put in the old password in case he need to change the password. So there was no option left, but here comes registry to rescue. Modifying registry can make this work. Here is the registry to be modified.

  1. Go to Start –> Run, Type Regedit.
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop
  3. See for a registry value “ScreenSave_Data“, and delete this file.
  4. Reboot your computer and it is done
So, if in case you forget your screensaver password, do remember this as it can take you out of troubles.

Game of Thrones: 'The Old Gods and the New' recap and review

Something that Game of Thrones does very well is choose its scenes wisely, which is more necessary than ever now that there are so many characters to juggle. We only have a little bit of time with each of them, so it’s imperative that the time we spend with them is as revealing as possible, or moves the plot forward in a significant way. This was especially evident last week, where each storyline moved forward not only dramatically, but interestingly. This week’s installment, ‘The Old Gods and the New,’ was a little more laid-back in its approach, which is odd considering that it featured both the sack of Winterfell by Theon, and a major riot in King’s Landing. These are big events that I guess I felt weren’t treated with the gravitas they deserved. But hey, Tyrion slapped Joffrey again, so there’s that.
