Why are people suggesting you to destroy the hard drives? Assuming you will donate the computer, it will require the hard drives with it to be usable.
Check this tool. You will need a low level format. Problem solved without damaging anything. Hard drives will be usable and data on them will be unrecoverable.
Sorry for you uncle.
If you have his email adress and access to password, its a starting point.
Now, to access the smartphones themselves, you will need the 4 number pin. At least in Portugal, mobile phones require a 4 digit pin to unlock when powered on. Then, finger print, pattern or face recognition to unlock and reach the “desktop” and icons and photos.
Mobile operators usually provide the 4 digit pin for the sim card, and they also provide a PUK number to insert after you insert an incorrect pin for a few times, usually 3.
So if you have the original boxes or smartphones documentation, search for the sim cards documentation with them. Take them to the operator store in person and ask them if they can unlock the smartphones.
Accessing the email, by resetting the password, may send a confirmation or code to one of those smartphones; but you will need them unlocked first. So first you should worry about unlocking the mobile phones, then, the emails.
I wish you best of luck!
My current motherboard is the Asus PRIME H610M-K D4. The previous motherboard was a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P. The issue happens with both.
Yes, when I had the other mb I tried a bunch of several connectors, sata power, flipping cables through different drives, you name it. Now I am using an M.2 NVMe so its one less sata power needed. The previous arranjement was an SSD but sata-powered. Plus the 4 sata drives. All worked together. Whenever I wanted to plug a 6th drive or the Hard drive bay, didn’t work. I had to unplug one of the others.
With the Asus mb, which has only 4 sata ports, I can’t connect a 5th sata device. So I also feel this is mb issue. This mb has less USB ports so I got a 7 port PCIe card, but it needs power from a sata cable. USB devices plugged there… They just don’t work. Unless I unplug one sata drive.
Still searching…
Thing is… My previous motherboard had 6 sata connectors so I assume it should have been able to connect 6 sata drives. But I never made them all work at once.
So, this happens with my current motherboard, but also with my previous one.
I guess there is something I can install or update? Maybe firmware or any utility?
Every physical connection was changed - from motherboard to power cables (new PSU) and the problem persists. Maybe both motherboards need the same adjustment?
I’m using Windows 11, upgraded from 10 recently.
There’s just too many blanks here for people to be able to help you.
What kind of programs do you use? Video editing? I’m sure not.
Anyway, do what other people said. There are many “show me where the disk space is” kind of programs. I use Tree Size Free, it shows an explorer-similar view with a graphical interface, and sorts the folders by size in disk.
But even with this type of programs, you may not know how you went from 90 GB free, to 62 GB.
You need to tell us more of how you are using your computer, what did you do the day before, and what did you do after.
Reset your phone to factory settings. Problem solved.
I once bought a bluetooth hands-free for my calls. The voice-over is nice and pleasant, but the handle broke so it doesn’t stay still on the ear anymore. I bought another one. Now this voice is kind weird and most likely is the one you are refering, she says “connected” with such a toned voice I found a bit unpleasant to hear.
Recently I bought a pair of bluetooth headphones and guess… It plays the same woman… Damm… Should be the first one, much more pleasant… I think I may buy another one of the same model (or maker) of the first headset I got.
uTorrent never downloaded “extra” content, provided it is downloaded from official sources. As it is very popular, its normal for someone to download it from somewhere else and bringing malware with it.
Anyway, BIN files are image files for DVDs and CDs. They are usually paired with a CUE file with the same name. Both files are readable by these softwares:
- NTI Dragon Burn
- Roxio Creator NXT Pro
- DT Soft DAEMON Tools
- Smart Projects IsoBuster
- PowerISO
You can then mount that bin file, that is, simulate you have a real disk inserted into your computer, but its just opening the bin file as a virtual drive. This allows you to run whatever software or setup files it has inside
Can you try with different parts? Like another ram module? If you have two of them, remove one and try. If it happens, change the memory for the unused one, leave the used outside. If still happens, try another hard drive, even an old one, just to check.
While in login screen, check the bottom right corner, for the accessibility icon. Click there with the mouse, and it should have the option to show a virtual keyboard. You use those keys with the mouse clicks, then go to the device manager after you login and install the necessary drivers.
If you need to access the keyboard website to download drivers, just have the virtual keyboard enabled so you can type before you have the keyboard working.
Windows updates do not wipe entire drives.
Look for a windows.old folder. Search by file names in the ssd drive.
Anyway, for future reference, do not store important data and documents in the windows hard drive. You must always save your work and files to other hard drives, internal or external, doesn’t matter. But do not store your files in same drive as windows. EVER.
Now, back to your files. f you don’t find them anywhere, and there is no windows.old folder, you could install a program for file recovery but… it will need to be installed in the computer. Being installed in windows ssd will likely reduce the chance of any file recovery. If you can install some recovery software in another drive, it would be great.
Then, make a search for deleted files and try to recover them. AVOID changing, editing, creating and moving files in that disk for now, while you don’t find your files.
Recuva, Remo Recovery, USF Explorer…
Right click on an empty space in a folder. You have View, Sort by, and Group. Play with the sorting and pick what you prefer.
This is by folder setting, so if you do for one, others will NOT reflect that. You need to do this for other folders if you want the same sorting. But if you really want this for EVERY folder, just do once, and then go to options in explorer, you have a button there to apply current settings to other similar folders.
Go to the Google account, in the device whereabouts. It shows the location of all the devices logged in, and the last known location for offline devices.
Those NAS devices are just boxes with a regular HDD inside.
This has happened to me at home, and lately at my work.
I use UFS Explorer recovery software to read the special partitions the hard drive has and to copy the files somewhere else. After that, you can just format the hard drive and use it on your computer as a storage space. Or get a hard drive rack and place loose hard drives there.
I could have access to my wife’s FB and she can see mine, we do that all the time without hiding messages from eachother.
BUT
To demand that, to want that from you in the first place, even if you are ok with that, its a major red flag. Yes its possible to make him login without accessing your email. Those are different passwords anyway (they may be the same, thats on you, but they are based on different platforms and hosts). But to make him do that is to bend to his will.
Today, is your facebook account. Tomorrow, your instagram. Then, the email. See the issue?
My advice (and many other users here): tell him goodbye. I know it may hurt, but its the best for you on the long run.
