    Ever locked yourself out of your computer?

    I just did :')
    I mean, my password was non-unicode (alt + 255) and I accidentally changed my non-unicode display language to Japanese while installing a Japanese keyboard *facepalm*
    The result? I restarted my computer and couldn't type my password cause the character wouldn't come out
    I've solved the problem but boy, it was one hell of an adventure xD

    Hahaha wow, I can imagine the stress

    I once kinda did, I changed the pass of my computer and a few days later I got sick and had to be on hospitals and such for a month. When I came back, I only remembered my old password lol

    LMAO
    I'm lucky I had already set up a CMD to open in those cases, so I can reset the password xD

    Better and prob. easier to solve than deleting your browser profile (Not having sync enabled u__u) or important files and not be able to recover them

    Oh yeah, I know how to solve that (Still, not a thing I'd like to go through)
    With deleted files it's a pain in the a�� LOL, not even recovery tools were able to recover my files ;__;

    I would never get a way to solve. It as good that you had a backup plan.

    On my last laptop, some of the keys stopped working. I had to make sure that everytime I put it to sleep I had copied my login password so that I could just ctrl+v and login. Thinking back, I should have just changed the password.. but that would have been too easy lol
    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left
