<description><![CDATA[Whoops... Sparkie forgot his password!  What to do?
This is by far the most popular question around ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="attachment_242" align="alignright" width="219" caption="Whoops... Sparkie forgot his password!  What to do?"]<a href="http://wei1ec.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sparkie_forgot_pwd.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-242" title="sparkie_forgot_pwd" src="http://wei1ec.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/sparkie_forgot_pwd.jpg?w=300" alt="Whoops... Sparkie forgot his password!  What to do?" width="219" height="165" /></a>[/caption]
<p>This is by far the most popular question around Yahoo Answers - "I forgot my Windows password, and how do I reset it?" - You see the same question almost everyday, and sometimes I wish Yahoo could pin that topic somewhere in the section, so people can read it before they ask the same thing again.  But no, they don't do that... so I feel like writing my own.  The following three methods are proven to work, but I leave the decision to you which one you'd like to use.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">USE AN ADMIN ACCOUNT</span></span></h3>
<p>There's a myth that you can use the "net user" command to reset the password, example:</p>
<blockquote><p>net user Sparkie abc123</p></blockquote>
[caption id="attachment_243" align="alignright" width="210" caption="Apparently net user does not work with a guest account"]<a href="http://wei1ec.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/guest_netuser.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-243" title="guest_netuser" src="http://wei1ec.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/guest_netuser.jpg?w=300" alt="The &#34;net user&#34; command doesn't work with a guest account..." width="210" height="113" /></a>[/caption]
<p>That myth is somewhat incorrect.  The truth is "net user" only works when you already have access to an account that has enough privilege - usually an admin's account - to execute this action, otherwise it will be denied by Windows.  Technically, "net user" is pretty much the same as Control Panel - if you can change the password by using "net user", you can change the password under Control Panel, as well.</p>
<p>In addition, even if you don't have an extra admin account to use, there's still a hidden local Administrator that you can access under safe-mode.  This account may, or may not be password-protected, depending on how the system builder set it up in the first place, but always give it a try.</p>
<p>To learn how to get into safe-mode, go to the following link:<br />

<h3><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">CRACK THE PASSWORD BY RAINBOW</span></span></h3>
[caption id="attachment_245" align="alignright" width="210" caption="It only took Sparkie 1m7s to recover the password.  And the password is: makeitsnappy"]<a href="http://wei1ec.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/pwdfound.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-245" title="pwdfound" src="http://wei1ec.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/pwdfound.jpg?w=300" alt="makeitsnappy" width="210" height="175" /></a>[/caption]
<p>Windows does not store passwords in plaintext form, it is one-way encrypted (in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LM_hash" target="_blank">LM algorithm</a>), aka hashed, therefore there isn't a pretty way to crack it... but there is a way: Use a rainbow table.  Unlike a traditional brute-force attack - you keep on guessing a possible match until you get it right, which is very time-consuming - a rainbow table is a precomputed database that saves you cracking time computation in advance by using a technique called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time_tradeoff" target="_blank">time-memory-tradeoff</a>, allowing your brute-force method to be much more efficient, fast, and pretty damn accurate.</p>
<p>To learn more about rainbow, go here:<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table</a></p>
<p>To give you an idea how fast it cracks, I did an experiment with the following setup:</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows XP Pro SP3</li>
<li>P4 2.0 ghz</li>
<li>2gb Memory</li>
<li>60gb HDD @ 7,200rpm</li>
<li>ophcrack with 703mb rainbow table</li>
</ul>
<p>Tested passwords and times:</p>
<ul>
<li>hondas2000 : 7sec</li>
<li>abc123 : 6sec</li>
<li>asdfdsa : 6sec</li>
<li>max10121989 : 12sec</li>
<li>monkey : 3sec</li>
<li>11231967:  3sec</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color:#808080;">Notes: The initialization could take as long as minute to load.  During the first experiment the actual time for "hondas2000" was 41sec (preload) + 5sec (crack time).</span></p>
<p>The above tool can be found here:<br />
<a href="http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/</a></p>
[caption id="attachment_247" align="alignright" width="192" caption="A website that cracks Windows passwords for you free of charge"]<a href="http://wei1ec.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/webservicecrack.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-247" title="webservicecrack" src="http://wei1ec.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/webservicecrack.jpg?w=300" alt="A website that cracks Windows passwords for you free of charge" width="192" height="166" /></a>[/caption]
<p>However, in case you didn't realize, preping the computer for a rainbow crack is time-consuming (it took me 4 hours to prep the test, by the way), and some of us simply do not have the time for it.  Luckily, there's another way where you don't have to download the look-up table and still crack it - simply extract the password hash of the account, and use a web service to recover it for you.  This is what you need to do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Still go ahead and <a href="http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">download ophcrack</a></li>
<li>Install, but do not download any table</li>
<li>Run the program. Click on the big "Load" button, click on "Local Sam"</li>
<li>Save the results as "hash.txt" and put it somewhere you can find</li>
<li>In the results file, every line represents an account, and is in this format:</li>
<blockquote><p>Sparkie:1009:<span style="color:#ff0000;">7CE2DE1F24339022AE91A15A9FDF9D77</span>:991795B7F0C46 5B98594ED9C5E4443EE:::</p>
<p>In this example, you see "Sparkie" is the account name, "7CE2DE1F24339022AE91A15A9FDF9D77" is the LM hash, and that's what you want.</p></blockquote>
<li>Now, go to this website: <a href="http://www.objectif-securite.ch/en/products.php" target="_blank">http://www.objectif-securite.ch/en/products.php</a></li>
<li>Copy and paste the hash in the first field, click on "Submit".  Within a few seconds you should see the password.  See how easy that is?</li>
</ol>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">RESET THE PASSWORD</span></span></h3>
<p>There may be times cracking is just not an option for you, so what do you do?  You can just reset it - this method works on any type of Windows, and requires no admin privilege.</p>
[caption id="attachment_246" align="alignright" width="180" caption="nt_pass can reset the password without using an admin account"]<a href="http://wei1ec.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/austrumi.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-246" title="austrumi" src="http://wei1ec.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/austrumi.png?w=300" alt="nt_pass can reset the password without using an admin account" width="180" height="124" /></a>[/caption]
<p>Personally, I use an utility called NT_Pass from Austrumi Linux 0.9.2 to reset Windows passwords.  Austrumi can be downloaded here:<br />
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103017&#38;package_id=110546" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103017&#38;package_id=110546</a></p>
<p>Make sure you get the 0.9.2 distrubution, burn it onto a CD (<a href="http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm" target="_blank">click here</a> to learn how), and boot up the computer with it, and follow the instructions on the screen.</p>
<p>Or there's another tool called "Offline NT Password &#38; Registry Editor".  It works just like NT_Pass, burn it onto a disk and boot up with it.  This utility can be found here:<br />

<p align="justify">Hello, sorry for the delay in posts, but my computer crashed totally and wasn't able to use it for a long time, but now i have re-installed Windows (and reseted the complete system). Lots has happened during these days. Endrive played the last show (as far as we know) for this year at TVO the past friday together with 'Verilöyly' and 'Every Single Burn'. The evening was a success and the Endrive show was filmed by Melanie so you can expect the show, or parts of it, this week. Yesterday i did a 16 hour shift at Nokia. I came home on saturday from my first nightshift at 11pm and went litterally straight to bed and got up on Sunday morning at 4am and worked from 6am to 10pm, that was tough. The first ten hours were ok, then the downward spiral started and the last two hours was a emotional and physical struggle, but i made it through and possibly will put a little smile on my face when the paycheck comes. Now i will go on with my current project, which is to wash the dishes, then eat and watch tv and maybe eat some more and then go to my first nightshift. See you soon again.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Does anyone read this anymore?  I&#8217;ve been so lax about updating since we got out here.  Prob]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone read this anymore?  I've been so lax about updating since we got out here.  Probably even longer than that.  Honestly though, this blog isn't the only thing I've abandoned.  I haven't really touched my camera in a month.  I haven't ridden my bike for anything other than commuting in close to 2.  I haven't finished one book since we got out here.  I still haven't even finished the last season of Lost!</p>
<p>Part of the reason I never update this blog, is because I keep thinking that I need to come up with something worthy of reading, which means I hardly ever write anything.  So here's what I've decided to do: until I can get back up to speed with real indepth posting, I'm just going to try to blog about what I've done everyday; the things that were on my mind; perhaps thoughts about what I've read or watched or listened to.  I can't promise that it will all be interesting, but I need to get back into the habit of things.  I've let too many things go.</p>
<p>So, starting tomorrow (Friday, October 3, 2008), I am going to try to do a few small new things everyday:</p>
<ol>
<li>Blog about my day.</li>
<li>Take at least one photograph.</li>
<li>Read at least one chapter in whatever book I'm currently working on.</li>
<li>Exercise in some way other than riding my bike to work.</li>
</ol>
<p>Four things.  Four simple things.  But I've got to do something.  I've been letting my mood get in the way of the things I enjoy doing.  And though my overall demeanor hasn't really changed, sometimes it takes action to change the heart.</p>
<p>I heard a quote today from a guy on one of the podcasts I listen to (the Fermi project podcast, I'll blog about it later).  I'll paraphrase it here, because I don't want to butcher it, but it went something like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>There is a reason that doctors "practice" medicine, and athletes and artists "practice" their craft, because in doing so they truly become what they set out to be.  It makes sense then that if christians really want to become like Christ, they should "practice" being like him.  To practice being like Christ means to do the things that He would do, even if at the time you don't necessarily feel like it.  But in time, practicing these things will lead you to truly become like Christ.</p></blockquote>
<p>Now obviously my 4 proposals aren't specific to following Christ, even though that is very important to me as well. And truth be told, I do have a few things that in that vein that I'm going to try to "practice" going forward (again, a blog for another day).  But in a simpler way I need to try to get my life back on track after the move.  I've been in a sort of holding pattern ever since we got out here.  If I'm ever going to get back to where I was in my day to day goings on, I think it's going to take "practicing" life, in order for me to really get back to life.  Does that make sense?</p>
<p>So hey, if you still read this, let me know.  Leave a comment or two.  I hope to be able to share with you all my journey back to being me.  And besides, no man is an island, especially in the Kingdom, so I need people to keep me accountable.  I'll see you all tomorrow.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ A lost admin password can definitely help one to define the words “frustrated”, and “helples]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterlostyourpasswordrecoverwiththemagicofpcl-ba68frustrated-24.jpg"><img style="border-width:0;margin:0 30px 0 0;" src="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterlostyourpasswordrecoverwiththemagicofpcl-ba68frustrated-2-thumb2.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="192" align="left" /></a> A lost admin password can definitely help one to define the words “frustrated”, and “helpless”. Losing your password can end up with you being locked out of your own machine, and what can be more frustrating than that?</p>
<p>You would think that it would be virtually impossible to forget your Logon password; but it happens more frequently than you might think. I have several friends who rarely use their computers, and sure enough I got a call last week from one of those friends who had forgotten her Logon password.</p>
<p>My friend is a writer and author who had just gotten over her writers block, which she had endured for months, and it was now time for her to hit the keys. Being a smart woman she had written down her password, but as so often happens, she had “lost” the piece of paper. Being a smart woman, plan number two was to call me. LOL!</p>
<p>Within a few minutes after arriving at her home; her machine was up and running. So a potentially disastrous situation was handled quickly, efficiently no mess, no fuss. To my friend it seemed like magic.</p>
<p>In a sense it was magic, but the magic was all about using the right tool. In this case, the tool of choice was PCLoginNow, a simple, free application, designed specifically to reset Windows logon passwords, change an account to administrator level, lock or disable accounts, and to set passwords to never expired.</p>
<p><a href="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterlostyourpasswordrecoverwiththemagicofpcl-ba68pc-login-now-23.png"><img style="border-width:0;" src="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterlostyourpasswordrecoverwiththemagicofpcl-ba68pc-login-now-2-thumb1.png" alt="" width="477" height="356" /></a></p>
<p>PCLoginNow doesn’t recover the forgotten password as many password cracking programs do, instead it erases the password. In handling the problem in this way, you can then Logon to Windows without inputting a password.</p>
<p>If you are a “geeky techie” who has a lot of friends who expect you to solve all of their computer related problems, then PCLoginNow is a must have tool.</p>
<p>Visit the PCLoginNow download site and download the ISO image file which you’ll then burn to a CD. Using the application, is as simply as booting the affected machine from the CD. A great solution to what can often be a nasty problem.</p>
<p><strong>Quick facts:</strong></p>
<p>Resets any passwords on any Windows computer with a 100% success rate</p>
<p>PCLoginNow can easily bypass Syskey</p>
<p>PCLoginNow runs on a Linux Live CD</p>
<p>Supports NTFS, FAT16, and FAT32 file systems</p>
<p>Supports Windows Vista, XP, 2003 server, 2000/NT</p>
<p>Supports IDE, SATA, SCSI, USB drives</p>
<p>Supports a wide range of PCI PCI-EX cards</p>
<p>Designed for non-professionals</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bem hoje iremos começar um tutorial básico de linux, usando o Ubuntu :)</p>
<p>vou começar com algumas instruções,<br />
Tome cuidado com a gráfica pois o consola do linux é case sensitive, sendo assim CD e cd são comandos diferentes.</p>
<p><strong>Alguns comandos você vai precisar do poder do ROOT</strong></p>
<p>O modo texto pertmite executar algumas ações que em modo gráfico é simplesmente impossivel.</p>
<p>Vamos aos comaandos.</p>
<p>vamos testar a grafía, digite:<br />
cd<br />
depois digite:<br />
CD</p>
<p>viu a diferença?? o comando CD não existe;</p>
<p>Auto-completar<br />
para auto-completar os comandos usamos a tecla [TAB], vamos testar</p>
<p>mor [TAB]</p>
<p>e ae completou??</p>
<p>Copiando e Colando</p>
<p>Selecione alguma área do console com o mouse, deopis clice com os boões direito e esquerdo.</p>
<p>viu o resultado, o linux deve "colar" a area selecionada.</p>
<p>para copiar e colar alguma coisa fora do console você deve copiar normalmente o texto e no console para colar você deve usar as teclas,<br />
[SHIFT]+[CTRL]+V</p>
<p>acessando pastas<br />
para acessar uma pasta você deve usar o comando cd + nome da pasta</p>
<p>EXEMPLO;<br />
cd /home</p>
<p>vendo discrição do comando<br />
man + nome do camando</p>
<p>exemplo:<br />
man ls</p>
<p>Onde estou???<br />
use os comandos: pwd, hostname, who, w<br />
para "se achar no sistema"</p>
<p>montando pendrive<br />
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -t auto /media/cdrom</p>
<p>desmontando<br />
sudo umount cdrom</p>
<p>Alguns comandos básicos</p>
<p>Eu coloquei os nomes dos comandos em MAIÚSCULO apenas para destacar, os comandos devem ser digitados em minúsculo.</p>
<p>GREP = procura por expressões regulares<br />
GRAP bash /etc/passwd = procura em um arquivo a palavra bash<br />
CP [origem] [destino] = copia um arquivo de um lugar para outro<br />
CMP [origem] [destino] = compara um arquivo com o outro<br />
DIFF [origem] [destino] = mostra as deferenças entre e outro<br />
LS = lista um diretorio<br />
LS -l lista com mais detalhes<br />
TOUCH = cria um arquivo regular<br />
MORE = mostre um arquivo paginadamente<br />
LESS = mostra o arquivo podendo voltar pro inicio ou ir pro fim com as setinhas do teclado.<br />
TAIL -5 /etc/passwd = mostra as 5 ultimas linhas<br />
TAIL = mostra as 10 ultimas linhas do arquivo<br />
HEAD = mostra as 10 primeiras linhas do arquivo<br />
RESET = reseta o consele<br />
PS -EF = mostra os processos em execução<br />
PSTREE = lista os processos em arvores<br />
FILE = mostra do que é arquivo<br />
DF = Mostra o espaço em disco<br />
DU = resume a utilização de disco de cada arquivo, recursivamente para cada diretorio.<br />
UPTIME = mostra a quantidade de tempo que o PC está ligado<br />
W e FINGER = mostra quais são os usuarios que estão logados<br />
TOP = mostra os processos por ordem de consumo<br />
FREE = mostra a situação da memoria<br />
RMDIR = remove um diretorio desde que este esteja vazio.<br />
RM -r = remove recursivamente, os arquivos e diretorio.<br />
RM -rf = muitas maquinas pergunta se você deseja remover, se colocar o -rf = ele remove sem perguntar.<br />
RM -rf dir[1-4] = remove do dir1 até o dir4<br />
RM -rf * = remove tudo</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First thing, don't think this is a flaw in linux. This is not. This is only possible if you are given the system physically and u are allowed hands on before the booting process.</p>
<p>Here it goes,</p>
<p>1. Start your computer. At the grub screen press 'e' on ubuntu os selection.<br />
you get a screen with the kernel and initrd choices.<br />
select the kernel choice and press e.<br />
you will get a line as follows</p>
<p><code>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=75058396-0925-491c-badc-d621ea98bf1b ro quiet splash</code><br />
my kernel is 2.6.24-19, the line will not be exactly same as in yours. just similar.</p>
<p>2. Change it to as follows.<br />
<code>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=75058396-0925-491c-badc-d621ea98bf1b rw init=/bin/bash</code></p>
<p>make sure you <strong>change</strong> <code>ro</code> to <code>rw</code> and <strong>remove</strong> <code>quite</code> and <code>splash</code><br />
and add the init process as bash.<br />
then press enter key .</p>
<p>3. then select the kernel that we just edited and press 'b' to boot into a root terminal without any authentication.<br />
type in the command <code>passwd</code><br />
and enter the new root password.</p>
<p>if you want to reset the password of some other users just type <code>su<em> username</em></code> from the root teminal and use the passwd command to change the password.</p>
<p>Now reboot the system and log with the new passwds.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Last installment in Project Malaysia commentary. 

The Politics of Race by Malik Imtiaz Sarwar &amp;]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last installment in Project Malaysia commentary. </p>
<p><a href="http://thoughtstreak.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/project-malaysia.png"><img src="http://thoughtstreak.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/project-malaysia.png" alt="" title="project-malaysia" width="400" height="170" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-123" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.projectmalaysia.org/2008/09/the-politics-of-race/all/1/"><strong>The Politics of Race </strong>by <em>Malik Imtiaz Sarwar &#38; Michelle Gunaselan</em></a></p>
<blockquote><p>It is not insignificant that in almost any discussion about public life in Malaysia, be it the state of the civil service, the education system or economic development, to name a few areas, the matter of race will invariably feature. Race, its implications and its consequences permeate through our lives, and shape them, in a way that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world.</p></blockquote>
<p>I can't build or criticise this one. It's really a factual piece which I haven't got any space for analysis at the moment. But I do want to highlight three issues that are the opposite of race, in the sense that while race ALWAYS pops up, these three issues NEVER pop up despite being as important as race. They are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Political policy positions.</li>
<li>The bureaucracy.</li>
<li>ASEAN.</li>
</ol>
<p>We never ever ever compare political policy positions of all the parties substantively when it could mean so much to our country. The best I've ever seen is a link to all of them. You can count on a majority of people to not read ALL the manifestoes in-depth. What about pre-announcing cabinet line-ups? We want to know that you're going to put capable people into power. Maybe I should go compile analysis for the next general elections. </p>
<p>We never ever talk about the bureaucracy. There exists a whole bunch of literature on public administration, and all I get is one lousy book dated 2003, and it's not written very well. If political leadership is the cornerstone of Malaysia, the bureaucracy is the pillars that keep the house standing despite political turmoil. We need to diversify for representativeness. We need to make sure that economic planners are sufficiently autonomous. We need a solid way to gauge the corruption and efficacy levels. We always say that implementation of policy is poor in Malaysia, but it's always stopped at that because ITS A FRIGGIN BLACK BOX.</p>
<p>We never talk about ASEAN at the domestic level. Somebody's driving ASEAN economic integration, but it's certainly not domestic civil society! Actually, according to some political science logic, extraneous factors can cause a state to weaken, therefore allowing the opportunity for social revolution. We need to weaken crony capitalism in Malaysia (and all of South East Asia actually), and ASEAN may be the solution because it breaks down the borders that protect them. </p>
<p>Anyway that's the end of it. Finally, I declare this the most awesome quote of the volume so far. </p>
<blockquote><p>To help the Malays by negotiating for a position that best looks after their interest, you have to prove that they deserve this position. By proving the case, you entrench the very things that serve the community the least. So the Malays will always be what UMNO needs them to be, for the sake of negotiating successfully on their behalf; and that would only lock the Malays into retaining a mentality of narrow-mindedness, parochialism, and blaming others. In a way, UMNO must have Malays remain as it defines them to be to justify its own long-term relevance. So why should UMNO liberate the Malays from their shackles of dependence on subsidies and their fears of marginalization if to do so would mean its own demise?</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.projectmalaysia.org/2008/09/reset-race-politics-part-one/all/1/">RESET: Race Politics (Part One) by By Suflan Shamsuddin</a></p>
<p>I have a feeling something similar could be said about PKR, but it's somewhat at arms length right now.</p>

<span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>Something new this time. xP<br />
<span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>It's a piano arrangement of Okami songs, from the Okami Piano Arrangement album (at least, I think it's an album?). It's the ending credits song from Okami (I'll post the YouTube video one day, no spoilers!), but the whole Okami soundtrack is really nice! The songs are all so soothing and peaceful, and sounds "otherworldly". =D<br />
<span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>And this song is really nice, I wanna play it. T_T<br />
<span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Note: I don't own this piece. The video is copyrighted by the guy at YouTube, and the piano arrangement is copyrighted by its original arranger!</strong></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday - I get to the gym, jump on the treadmill with my shuffle, turn it on ... okkk once more, turn it on ... maybe I am not doing this right, turn off and then on, play... play .... maybe the volumn is too low, turn up the volume ... switch tracks ... on, off .. on, off ... WTH is wrong with me, I can't get a shuffle to work :&#124; ... ohh wait its not me its the damn shuffle .. well guess what its not working .. clearly ... so I tune into the TV and somehow finish my workout ... Absolutely frustrated with the stupid shuffle, I get back to my desk and try to fix it ... ahaaaaannn .. iTunes wont recognize the device ... gr8! maybe be I will just leave it for now and hope for a miracle tomo ...</p>
<p>Today - iTunes, sync my iPod please ... pleeasseee ... plllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeee ... okk the pleading clearly does not work ... time to put on the thinking cap ... every single attempt to hook up my shuffle to my laptop results in Error 1418  ... On googling the error code, I find out that its a known issue (probably something to do with the firmware) .. Solution, reset the shuffle .. So I go into iTunes and hit the "RESET" button in the Settings tab for my shuffle ... awsome ... that was easy .. this shud work now ... lets try it .... ummmm .... Still NOT working ... :( okk more googling .... ahaaannn ... Reset Utility for shuffle ... my last hope ... first attempt, unsuccessful ... second attempt, unsuccessful .. third attempt, unsuccessful .. fourth attempt, SUCCESS ... finally, my shuffle is breathing again ... yayyy!!!</p>
<p>Moral of the story: Follow the exact instructions on the Reset Utility Page .. when they say run the utility and connect your iPod, they literally mean that you should NOT connect your iPod before you run the utility. I had my iPod hooked up before I ran the utility and it wont find my iPod. FInally, I re-read the steps and did exactly what it said word for word ... so make sure you dont have your iPod connected before you run the Reset Utility.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While searching to reset the Mambo admin. I came across the "mos_users" table. This table stores the admin password for mambo. Due to the MD5 cryptography the old password is not recoverable.</p>
<p>To reset the password you will need phpMyAdmin to update the existing hashed value stored in the password column with a new value in the MySQL table.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>update <strong>mos_users</strong> set password = md5('<strong>yourpass</strong>')  where username = 'admin';</p>
<p>In the above example the "<strong>yourpass</strong>" will be your new password which is a <strong>MD5</strong> hashed value.</p>
<p>To create a MD5 value you can get the help of <a title="Paj's Home" href="http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5">http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5.</a> This site provide us with a good tool to convert our new password into an hash value.</p>
<p>Update the mos_users table with the generated hash value. Now you will be able to login as the mambo admin.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Può accadere che ci si dimentichi della password di root di un sistema db MySQL. Per resettare la password è necessario operare come segue:</p>
<div class="testo">
<li> fermare mysql - su sistemi *nix da root con :/etc/init.d/mysql stopsu windows - con privilegi di amministrazione -  con:<br />
Menu Start --&#62; Esegui --&#62; cmd --&#62; services.msc<br />
localizzare il servizio MySQL quindi selezionarlo con il tasto destro e stopparlo.</p>
<p>Una volta fermato MySQL:</li>
<li> riavviarlo con (linux):mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tablessu windows:
<p>portarsi nella sottocartella bin della cartella in cui si trova il programma mysql, quindi:<br />
mysqld --skip-grant-tables</p>
<p>aprire una nuova shell mysql (da windows o linux) e digitare solo:<br />
mysql -h localhost</p>
<p>si è avuto accesso senza inserire la password. Per modificarla:</p>
<p>use mysql;</p>
<p>UPDATE user SET password=password("NUOVAPASSWORD") WHERE user="root";</p>
<p>Una volta completata l'operazione, fermare di nuovo il server MySQL e riavviarlo normalmente, cioè come demone o servizio.</li>

<description><![CDATA[Seguro que uno piensa que, al tener todo en la pantalla multi-touch, no valdrán de mucho los cuatro]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-113 alignleft" style="margin:0 8px;" title="l20_lock_butn_019-12231" src="http://cosasdeliphone.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/l20_lock_butn_019-12231.png" alt="grafico de botones del iphone" width="221" height="99" />Seguro que uno piensa que, al tener todo en la pantalla multi-touch, no valdrán de mucho los cuatro botones del iPhone (porque tiene, literalmente, 4 botones ...y un switch).<br />
Pues vamos a hacer un compendio de funciones, usos, y algún que otro truco, para ver lo que dan de sí.<br />
<!--more--></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><br />
</span><strong>Botón de apagar/bloquear<br />
</strong><br />
Apagar/encender solo la pantalla<br />
 </p>
<ul>
<li>La mas basica: Si estando apagado el iPhone mantenemos el botón pulsado unos segundos, el iphone se enciende.</li>
<li>Si con el aparatejo encendido pulsamos una vez (corta) el botón de apagar-encender, se apaga la pantalla y se bloquea el cacharro (esto dependde de si esta configurado para ello).</li>
<li>Si de damos mientras suena una llamada de teléfono, deja de sonar, y si damos una segunda vez, rechazamos la llamada (gracias Javier por el recordatorio).</li>
<li>Y si la pantalla está apagada, al pulsar este botón se enciende.</li>
<li>Pero hay una muy útil y poco conocida: cuando estamos hablando por teléfono con los auriculares, la pantalla sigue encendida (con el consiguiente gasto de batería). Así que... podemos dar una vez al botón, para bloquear la pantalla, y una segunda vez para apagar la pantalla, (mientras seguimos hablando) ;)</li>
</ul>
<p>Apagar/encender el iPhone</p>
<ul>
<li>Si estando el iPhone encendido mantenemos pulsado el boton de apagar-encender durante unos segundos, aparece en la pantalla la opción de "apagar el equipo", que hace eso; apagar de verdad el iPhone (no sólo la pantalla).</li>
</ul>
<p>En casos de cuelgue absoluto del iPhone, y tras unos segundos de desesperación, es muy útil usar la función de mantener pulsado el botón de apagar, ya que aunque no muestre nada en la pantalla (pues se ha quedado "colgado") antes o después el iPhone se apagará.<br />
Además, como no puedes hacer el viejo truco de sacar la batería, ni "desenchufarlo", como en optros móviles,  esta es la única forma de resucitarlo cuando se queda tostado.</p>
<p><strong>Botón de "home"</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Pulsandolo una vez, volvemos a la pantalla de "home" (la inicial, con los iconos de acceso a las aplicaciones).</li>
<li>Pulsandolo dos veces se abre la aplicación de ipod, o la aplicación que tengamos configurada en "Ajustes" para ello.</li>
<li>Manteniendolo pulsado unos segundos (teóricamente 6) la aplicación en la que estés se cierra "de verdad". ¿ De verdad ? Pues si: las aplicaciones de terceros no pueden correr en background, y cuando sales de ellas se cierran. Pero las nativas de Apple cuando sales de ellas no se cierran, y se quedan corriendo de fondo.<br />
Así que, si quieres liberar memoria y recursos del equipo, puedes hacer esto para cerrar "de verdad" la aplicaciones como correo, ipod, Safari o Maps. La de teléfono, auqnue la cierres vuelve a ponerse sola a correr en background, pues necesita estar siempre corriendo (si no, no recibiríamos llamadas...)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Botón de apagar y de home, a la vez.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Al pulsar estos botones a la vez (durante una decima de segundo solo) veremos un destello (un fade-out de blanco) para indicarnos que ha capturado la pantalla (lo que estemos viendo en ese momento, en cualquier menu o aplicación) y esa captura de pantalla la guarda en el "carrete de fotos", en formato PNG.<br />
Nota: esta funcionalidad existe solo desde los firmware 2.x, antes no lo hacia (y habia aplicaciones de terceros para ello).</li>
<li>Eso si, esta combinacion tiene tambien otra función: Si mantenemos pulsados unos segundos ambos botones, en vez de captura de pantalla haremos un "reset" y reiniciaremos el iphone.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Botones de volumen</strong></p>
<p>Sin auriculares conectados</p>
<ul>
<li>Cuando estas en la "home" subes y bajas el volumen del Ring de llamada.</li>
<li>Cuando estas hablando por teléfono, subes y bajas el volumen con que oyes el teléfono.</li>
<li>Cuando estas con la aplicación ipod sonando, manejas el volumen del altavoz del iphone.</li>
</ul>
<p>Con auriculares conectados</p>
<ul>
<li> Manejas el volumen de "auriculares" del ipod (que es distinto al volumen de altavoz).</li>
</ul>
<p>Esto es interesante, porque el iPhone guarda volúmenes distintos para cuando tienes puestos auriculares, cuando no (altavoz propio), altavoz de la oreja (teléfono) y para salida de línea.</p>
<p><strong>Botón (interruptor) de "silencio"</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Apaga sonido de Ring, pero mantiene la vibración.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Botón de los auriculares </strong>(el que esta en el microfono ;)</p>
<ul>
<li>Un click hace play/pausa para el ipod.</li>
<li>Pero durante una llamada, un click hace colgar/descolgar.</li>
<li>Dos clicks hacen siguiente canción para el ipod.</li>
<li>Y tres clicks hacen "canción anterior" (desde el firmwaes 2.1) para el iPod.</li>
</ul>
<p>Continuará...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times have you accidently executed <code>cat</code> with a binary executable file like the <code>ls</code> executable as an argument?</p>
<div>The chances are that if you're a Linux/UNIX user, you've done this at some point and completely hosed your terminal session.  If you haven't, give it a shot now:</div>
<p><code>[matt@stinger ~]$ cat /bin/ls</code></p>
<div>Now your terminal session should be hosed.  If you've had to SSH through several boxes to get to the one you're currently connected to, the last thing you want to do is exit your sessions and do it all again.</div>
<div>Here's the magic:</div>
<p><code>[matt@stinger ~]$ reset</code></p>
<div>The chances are you won't be able to see what you've typed in, so make sure you type it carefully (especially if you're root), and hit enter.  In a couple of seconds, you'll have your terminal back.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For waste ink counter reset, read the instruction below:<br />
1. Turn off the printer.<br />
2. Press and hold the RESUME button, then press and hold the POWER button.<br />
3. Release the RESUME button, Next press and release the RESUME button two(2) more times in succession. Note: you are still holding the POWER button). The printer’s carriage will “reset” or move momentarily. If the above was properly performed the printer will enter the “Service Mode”.<br />
4. Press the RESUME button 4 times, this will select the clear waste ink counter function. The lamp will alternate (change) color with each key press.</p>
<p>1. Service/Factory test printout, including ink sensor check.<br />
2. EEPROM - Info printout.<br />
3. EEPROM - Initialization.<br />
4. Reset the Waste ink counter.<br />
5. Printer model setting. (More selections beyond this point - However it is best leave them unaltered - You have been warned!) After selecting the desired mode (eg 4), press the POWER button to “set” the change, and return to the top of the function selection menu. Press the POWER button again to restart the printer.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a few HP laser printers which are connected to our network. The problem I was having was one of the network cards in the printers was not showing up anymore and I needed to preform a reset of the configuration in order to clear the settings on the card and reconfigure the printer.</p>
<p>The procedure that I found for resetting the HP 2300 DTN is as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Turn the printer off</li>
<li>Hold the green button on the front</li>
<li>Power the printer on (while holding the green button still)</li>
<li>Keep pressing the green button until all three lights are on the front panel then release</li>
<li>Then use the up arrow to go from Select Language to "Cold Reset"</li>
<li>Press the green button again and the printer will reset to factory defaults.</li>
</ol>
<p>Hope this helps anyone who is having problems either connecting to a Hewlett Packard networked laser printer. This procedure is useful if you have bought one of these printers second hand and need to reset the IP range that the printer is using.</p>
