Block Switching from Microsoft Account to Local Account in Windows 10

April 12th, 2016 by Admin

Is there a way to restrict switching from Microsoft account to local account? If you’ve set up a child account in Windows 10, switching to a local account will put Family Safety in an unworkable condition, and parents couldn’t monitor the kids’ accounts any longer. So we come up with a method to block switching from Microsoft account to local account in Windows 10.

Notes: This method works with Windows 10 only. It won’t block you switching from local account to Microsoft account and you can still create a new local/Microsoft account.

Block Switching from Microsoft Account to Local Account in Windows 10

This method works by renaming a system file named UserAccountBroker.exe. After renaming, go to PC Settings -> Accounts -> Your account, click on the “Sign in with a local account instead” link and you’ll get no response.

block-switching-to-local-account

In Windows 10, most system files have TrustedInstaller as owner. If you want to modify, rename or delete a system file, you have to take ownership and grant full access permission to your current logged on account. Here’s how to take ownership of UserAccountBroker.exe and rename it:

Download and install the freeware TakeOwnershipPro. After installing, the program will add the “TakeOwnershipPro” shortcut to Windows Explorer’s right-click context menu.
Open File Explorer, navigate to the C:\Windows\System32 directory. Right-click on the UserAccountBroker.exe file, and then select “TakeOwnershipPro” from the context menu.
You’ll see a pop-up window showing the process of taking ownership is complete. Click Exit to close it.
Next rename the UserAccountBroker.exe file by by adding a .bak extension. If you’re running 64-bit version of Windows 10, you also need to rename another copy of UserAccountBroker.exe under the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory.
Now you’ll be unable to switch from a Microsoft account to a local account from PC Settings charm. If you want to convert back to a local account later, you have to rename the UserAccountBroker.exe.bak file by removing the .bak extension. That’s it!

2 Ways to Recover iTunes Backup Password on Mac OS X

April 7th, 2016 by Admin

“Hi! I’ve forgotten the password for the local iTunes backup on Mac OS X. How do I reset or recover my iTunes password? Please help!”

Forgotten iTunes backup password is a common problem, because the password is rarely used until we need to restore iPhone or iPad from iTunes backup. What should you do if you’ve lost the password for your iTunes backup? In this tutorial we’ll show you two simple ways to recover iTunes backup password on Mac OS X.

Method 1: Recover iTunes Backup Password with Keychain Access on Mac

The Keychain Access application is Mac OS X’s built-in password manager. It stores a wide variety of passwords for email account, website, servers, itunes backup, etc. When you change or reset the password for iTunes backup, the password will also be stored in Keychain if you’ve checked the “Remember this password in my keychain” option.

If your iTunes backup password is stored in Keychain, you can recover it easily by following these steps:

On your Mac, go to /Applications/Utilities/ and open Keychain Access app.
Under the Keychains section on the left-hand side of the app, select login. You should now see a list of websites and applications that use Keychain Access to store login information. Scroll down through this list until you get to the login item named “iPhone Backup“.
Double-click the “iPhone Backup” login item. This will open a new window with more details about your iTunes backup account. From this screen, check the “Show password” checkbox.
You will be prompted to enter your Mac OS X user password to authenticate. Once entered, click the Allow button to continue.
Once that’s done, you’ll return to the previous window showing all the details including the password in plain text. Make a note of it and ensure it’s kept somewhere secure so you can remember it the next time.

Method 2: Recover iTunes Backup Password with iTunesKey

What to do if your forgotten iTunes backup is not stored in Keychain access? Is there any hope? Luckily there is a handy iTunes password recovery tool – iTunesKey, which allows you to recover / decrypt iTunes backup password. But this program needs to run from within Windows. So if your iTunes backup is created and saved in Mac OS X, simply transfer the Manifest.plist file to a Windows-based PC and you can then use iTunesKey to recover your password. Here’s how:

To get started, we need to find the iTunes backup location in Mac OS X. Simply hit Command + Shift + G on keyboard to open the Go To Folder screen. Type the following path and click Go.
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
A Finder window will open and you can see a folder named with the UDID (unique device identifier) of your iPhone. Open that folder and copy the Manifest.plist file to your external USB thumb drive.
Attach the USB thumb drive to a Windows-based computer and run the iTunesKey application. When iTunesKey launches, click on the … button to select the Manifest.plist file.
Select one of the recovery methods: Brute-force attack, Mask attack and Dictionary attack, and click Next. Follow the instructions to perform the password cracking. After your iTunes backup is recovered, write it down so you’ll never forgot it.

How to Fix “The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid”

April 3rd, 2016 by Admin

When you download a software with Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, you might receive the error message saying “The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid“.

edge-warn-signature-corrupt

ie-warn-signature-corrupt

Recently we’ve also heard of our customers having this issue when downloading the Lock My Folders program in Windows 10, so we spend lots of time trying to reproduce this issue. We finally got to the bottom of the issue (we believe).

The signature was never corrupt or even invalid. Microsoft released a cumulative security update KB3140745 for Windows 10 that deprecated support for SHA1 code signing certificate. Any programs signed with SHA1 certificate after January 1st, 2016 will be flagged as an invalid signature. In this tutorial we’ll explain how to check if your downloaded program is signed with SHA1 or not, then discuss the methods to get around the download issue.

How do I know if a program is signed with SHA1?

Right-click on your program and select Properties.
Click on the Digital Signatures tab.
Select the signature and click on the Details button.
Click the View Certificate button.
Click the Details tab.
Look at the Signature hash algorithm.

Methods to fix “The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid”

If you are the software developer, just contact the CA to re-issue or replace your SHA1 certificate with a new stronger SHA2 certificate, then sign your program with SHA2 certificate and the issue will be resolved.

If you download software from a reliable website and get the “The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid” error message, here are 3 ways to work around this problem:

When you see the a pop-up message that says the signature is corrupt or invalid, click on View downloads button.

Next right-click on the file in downloads and choose Run anyway.

If Windows 10 Smart Screen displays a warning that the app cannot be recognized, click More Info and click Run Anyway to install.
Uninstall the Windows update that causes this issue. I can reproduce the problem by installing KB3140745 on Windows 10. I then uninstall this single update and it fixed the problem. If you’ve turned on automatic updating, you can block that specific update in Windows 10 so it won’t be installed any longer.
Only the browsers from Microsoft block SHA1 code signing certificate now. Chrome and Firefox still accepts SHA1 certificate. So you can get around this problem by downloading with Chrome or Firefox browsers.

Fix “You’ve been signed in with a temporary profile” Error in Windows 10 / 8 / 7

March 24th, 2016 by Admin

After you log on to a Windows user account, you may face the temporary profile issue and some of your desktop icons & files are disappeared. A notification pops up in the right bottom corner of the taskbar, saying:

“You’ve been signed in with a temporary profile. You can’t access your files, and files created in this profile will be deleted when you sign out. To fix this, sign out and try signing in later. Please see the event log for more details or contact your system administrator.”

In Windows 7, the error message looks like:

“You have been logged on with a temporary profile. You cannot access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log off. To fix this, log off and try logging on later. Please see the event log for details or contact your system administrator.”

So I did a quick Google search and it seems that this is a common issue. This problem usually occurs if the user profile was accidentally moved or deleted from the system. Any changes that you make to the current desktop are lost after you log off the system. In this tutorial we’ll explain the step-by-step procedure to fix temporary profile issue in Windows 10, 8 and 7.

How to Fix “You’ve been signed in with a temporary profile” Error?

Before getting started, you need to find the SID (Security Identifier) of your user account that is experiencing the temporary profile problem. To do this, just press the Windows + R keys to open the Run box. Type cmd and press Enter.

When the Command Prompt launches, type the following command, replacing Tom with the name of your affected account. Press Enter and you’ll see the SID that will be used in steps below.
wmic useraccount where name='Tom' get sid

After finding the SID, close the Command Prompt. Now we begin to fix the registry settings. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run box. Type regedit and press Enter.

When the Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Expand the ProfileList subkey, you will see the SID keys for all the users on the machine. As we’ve found the SID of your affected account above, just click that SID key (without .bak), you’ll see the “ProfileImagePath” entry in the right pane that points to a temporary profile.

Double-click the ProfileImagePath entry to edit the values data. Type the correct profile path and click OK. If you don’t know the correct profile location, open Windows Explorer and browse to C:\Users. In my example, I want to set the account to use the profile folder named Tom, so I point ProfileImagePath to C:\Users\Tom. If your profile folder was already corrupted or deleted, just delete the SID key.

Next, right-click on your old SID key that is maked as .bak, and then click on Delete.

That’s it. Log off or restart your computer. Windows will sign in to your account with a local profile instead of a temporary profile, and you will no longer receive the temporary profile error.

Burn the ISO file to a blank CD using the free USB burning program – ISO2Disc. If your PC doesn’t have a CD drive, you can choose to make a bootable USB drive (Remember to select GPT partition style which is required for Windows 10/8 UEFI boot).
Boot your Windows 10 PC from the CD you burned. You might have to access your computer’s BIOS and change the boot sequence for booting from a CD/DVD. Once booting from the CD, it will launch the PCUnlocker program within one or two minutes.
From the PCUnlocker program, you can see a list of local accounts available in your PC. Your Microsoft email address should be displayed under the Description column of the linked local account.
Highlight the linked local account and click on Reset Password button. The program will revert your associated Microsoft account back to local account and remove the local password.
Reboot your computer without the CD. Now Windows 10 login screen will display a local account instead of Microsoft account, and you can login without typing a password! That’s it!

How to Remove Windows 10 / 8 and Install Windows 7

March 16th, 2016 by Admin

“My laptop came with Windows 8 preinstalled. I really don’t like the new interface of Windows 8. I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7. How to go about it?”

If you don’t like Windows 10 / 8, or the new OS doesn’t work as you expected, you might want to downgrade to Windows 7. In this tutorial we’ll walk you through the steps of removing Windows 10 / 8 and then install a fresh copy of Windows 7.

How to Remove Windows 10 / 8 and Install Windows 7?

Before get started, you need to prepare a Windows 7 installation disc. Make sure any important files already on your PC are backed up on a portable hard drive or an online backup solution.

Part 1: Disable UEFI and Enable Legacy Boot

New Windows 10/8 PCs come with UEFI firmware and Secure Boot enabled. Starting with Windows 8, Microsoft replaced BIOS with UEFI. Secure Boot will prevent Windows 7 installation disc from booting, so you need to disable the Secure Boot option and enable Legacy/CSM boot.

Here’s how to enable Legacy boot on a Windows 8 ASUS notebook:

When powering on the computer, quickly and repeatedly press F2 to enter BIOS Setup.
In the Security menu, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select the Secure Boot Control option. Press Enter to set it Disabled.
Go to the Boot menu, enable Launch CSM.
Press F10 to save and exit.

Your BIOS may be different. If you don’t know how to access the UEFI/BIOS or couldn’t find the UEFI secure boot option, please check out the following articles:

Part 2: Convert Partition Scheme from GPT to MBR

Now we need to convert the hard drive from GPT to MBR, because Windows 7 couldn’t be installed on GPT partition. Follow these steps:

Put the Windows 7 installation disc in your optical drive and restart to boot from it. You may have to change the boot sequence in your BIOS if it doesn’t boot to the CD. Watch for the “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD” message. Press a key as indicated.
When Windows 7 Setup appears, you’re asked to choose your preferred language and keyboard method. Just press Shift + F10 to launch the Command Prompt.
In the Command Prompt, type the following commands one by one, press Enter after each.
diskpart list disk select disk 0 clean convert mbr exit
This will delete all partitions on your hard drive and convert it to a MBR disk.
Now close the Command Prompt. You’ll return back to Windows 7 Setup screen.

Part 3: Install Windows 7

Once you come back to Windows 7 Setup Screen, select your language and click Next.
You will be now taken to the Install now menu. Click on Install Now to proceed.
Review the license agreement, and click “I accept the license terms“.
On the Which type of installation do you want? window, click Custom (advanced).
The next step is to choose where you want to install Windows 7. Inexperienced users can simply highlight the unallocated space and click Next.

If you want to split the hard drive into two or more partitions, click on “Drive options (advanced)” which allows you to create new partitions, format or delete them. When it’s done, select the partition you want to install Windows 7 on and click Next.
Windows will begin installing. Now you can sit back and relax for a while, because this part is automatic. During this process, the PC will also restart on its own—don’t panic, that’s just part of the installation process.
When the installation is complete, you’ll go through the first-time setup process: type your computer name, set up a user account and password, enter product key, etc.
