How can I ANY password protect my laptop? -SOLVED
I have Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 installed on my PC. I have only one account user and I created the password for her. I heard that the password for the user account can be hacked, so I wonder if there is any additional protection? BIOS password? Also, I've heard of Linux hacks for Windows. How I TOTALLY prevent the others who specialize in hacking password to access my files? Is it possible somehow?
Tips for creating (your own unique) strong password - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Tips-for-creating-strong-passwords-and-passphrases
Do not use the administrator account of systems for the use of "everyday" If you can avoid it. Create a separate user account and use it for your normal use of the PC on a daily basis. Only "run as Administrator" as and when you really need to. The two passwords must be different and hard. This will help if your PC is attacked or hacked because they will not be able to access the level of your PC as your user zone administrator. Its just good practice to not use Admin all the time. - Http://www.pcworld.com/article/171933/manage_users_in_windows_7.html gives the GENERAL idea.
You can create new accounts to the need and change the passwords and security levels as needed. For example - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-windows-password#change-windows-password=windows-7 or via
NOTE: cannot insist on this point, if you take these steps to make sure that you remember your passwords for your accounts.

How can my user password - protect a document that has been digitally signed?
Hello
I've seen a few threads that indirectly address some parts of this question, but always find myself not sure about whether this process can be done - and if it is possible, I could use your help to understand - thank you.
Two of our end users use digital signatures (based on certificates) in Acrobat 9 Pro to sign documents attesting the status of precision & calibration of equipment of laboratory for use in a legal environment. These end users are concerned that their documents could be amended or edited and asked me if password can also be applied to the documents that must be digitally signed.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Do you apply 'Open' password password "Permissions" or both? If you apply 'Permissions' password (with or without the 'Open' password) of course I "Edit" include filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields"or" commenting on, fill in the form fields and signing existing signature fields. If the permissions do not allow you to connect, you are unable to sign.
Be aware of the alert that Acrobat appears when you apply the password "Permissions" that all Adobe products meet the permissions that you set, but this 3rd party PDF viewers may not (and many do not).

How can I reinstall vista on my laptop without a disc.
How can I reinstall vista on my laptop without a disc. I have an acer aspire 4520 and INF files are missing, umbrella I don't have a disk to reinstall. without these files, I can't update any driver...
Hello
You can reinstall vista without a drive on an Acer if you never received a disc when you bought
try to press Alt + F10 at the Acer splash screen after power on to start the relocation process
Here are the different ways to reinstall vista;
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

I have CC on my desk. How can I add it to my laptop?
I have CC on my desk. How can I add it to my laptop? My subscription covers both computers?
the great thing about cc is that you can disconnect from your other computers using your 3rd computer.
That is to say, when you try to connect to a 3rd computer cc app prompts you to disconnect from your other two. do it and you're able to use your 3rd computer. It's so easy and fast there is no significant advantage to avoid disconnection.
I can't even envisage a legal situation where you would like to more than one cc for any one user license. You can install on computers of upteen, but only be connected to, at most, two at a time.
and you can't use your programs cc on two different computers at any time. so I can't imagine a situation where more than 1 license would be useful.
