Lessons learnt from a laptop burglary
March 31, 2008
Someone broke into my room and took away my laptop that I was so fond of. After losing lot of work, passwords and of course, money, here are few lessons that I got:
1. Get your laptop insured.
2. Keep your Windows account/ or any account protected with a strong password.
3. Don’t save your passwords on the computer. No “Remember me” please.
Until I get a new computer, no more frequent updates on my blogs. I cant work on my blog during hours which my company pays for.

don’t click on remember passwords. but ur safe to click on the remember me check box on websites. the passwords are not saved in the browser and you can still be logged in to the site without having to re-type your passwords. good luck.

Windows account password can easily be reseted with Rescue Live Linux CD!
So, there you are! No pasword is safe if they have access to your hardware.
