How to use Remote Phone Locking in Nokia

I have recently shifted to Nokia 5800, which was gifted to me by someone. OK, during exploring this cell, I found pretty awesome feature “ Remote Phone Locking ” that most people are simply unaware of such a
useful feature by Nokia. Alright most people might know about this, but still I taught to post thinking that it would help newbie in Nokia like me.

What this Feature do?

In case, you forgot or lost your cell phone somewhere, and you are afraid that someone might use your cell and see your messages or data in the cell than in that situation you just need to send a SMS from any mobile to your own mobile number with a lock SMS command. This would simply lock your phone, and it will only be accessible if one has the correct phone password to unlock it.

How this trick would help?

Suppose you forgot your cell at your home, and you have some naughty messages from your girlfriend, and you are afraid that your wife or your parent might just come know about this, In such Situation this trick would be a lifesaver.

How to activate Remote Phone Locking?

Step 1:  Go to Menu >> Settings >> Phone >> Phone mgmt. >> Security settings >> Phone and SIM card >> Remote phone locking.

Step 2: Select Enable and enter a “remote locking message”. This message is the SMS lock command, it must be at least five characters in length.

Step 3:  Enter a PIN code, Default Pin is 12345 if pin not changed.

Now Test!!!
Send SMS from another mobile phone with the text message of remote lock command which you used in configuring remote phone lock. As soon as your mobile receives the message with lock command, it will lock your mobile…wow “Phone Locked”

Login To Your PC Using Face Recognition System.!!

Do you get bored to select your username and then enter a password to every time you login? Not in old versions of windows but also in newly Windows 7. Why has there not been a built-in Windows feature to

change the way of users login to Windows?

Here you need Luxand Blink! Pro.

 Every new version of Windows brings improvements over its previous versions like interface, desktop customization, handling files, or security but why the Welcome Screen and the way users login still unchanged. Don't worry we've an alternative to traditional Windows login which known as Luxand Blink. It provides its users with a different way i.e. through facial recognition to login to Windows.

 Luxand Blink starts running after the computer starts up but before it has logged on to any account. We can then look into the webcam and have our face recognized by the application. It uses its advance image recognition algorithms to recognize our face. Such is the competence of this application, that whether the lighting is different or our hair are different, Luxand Blink will still recognize our face and log us in.

 Blink! Pro makes logging into Windows happen in a blink of an eye. Just look into a webcam, and Blink! Pro will identify your face and let you in instantly. It has never been easier! Blink! Pro employs advanced biometric identification technologies to ensure secure near-instantaneous authentication.
Adaptive Face Identification: Blink! Pro comes equipped with identification techniques that adapt to varying lighting conditions, and can tolerate a wide range of changes in the appearance of a person. Tungsten and fluorescent lighting, makeup and new haircuts, beards and moustaches, glasses and contacts are among the many things that are easily tolerated.

Secure Authentication: Biometric user authentication is considered more secure than old-fashioned logins and passwords. While passwords of reasonably secure length are hard to remember and end up on yellow sticky notes, face-based biometric authentication is nearly infallible. In addition to the added security of biometric login, Blink! Pro offers corporate users the ability to record who logs into Windows and when, regardless of whether password-based or biometric authentication has been used. Each record is accompanied by a webcam snapshot, allowing combating identity theft and identifying compromised Windows accounts. In addition, Blink! Pro offers the ability to continuously monitor whether the registered user or anybody at all is present in front of a PC, locking access if nobody is there for a defined period of time.
More Is Coming: Blink! Pro is an innovative product undergoing constant development and development. More features are coming in the near future, including the ability to register multiple faces for sharing a single Windows account, and support for completely unobtrusive background operation.

Supported OS: Windows Vista and 7.

How to lock any file or folder without any software

Most of us have private data. Not all of us have a private computer to keep that data. So, we just end up with other people viewing that data. Although password protecting software do work, it is almost useless to hide private data with these software(because we are always questioned as to what it is that we are hiding with the help of these software).


Hidden folders do not work as they can be easily searched with Windows Search. So, we need an alternative way to create hidden password protected folders which only we can access. And that is exactly what we will learn in this post.

With this trick, you can create a secure password protected folder in Windows which no one except you can access. To use this trick, follow the instructions given below:-

• 1.  Open Notepad.

• 2.  Copy and paste the exact code given below:-

cls
@ECHO OFF
title computer-tricks-corner.blogspot.com
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST MyFolder goto MDMyFolder
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure to lock this folder? (Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren MyFolder "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock Your Secure Folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== computer-tricks-corner.blogspot.com goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" MyFolder
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDMyFolder
md MyFolder
echo MyFolder created successfully
goto End
:End

• 3.  Click on the File Menu. Click on Save As.

• 4.  Select All Types (or all files) in the Save As Type dropdown menu. Save the file as *.bat or Locker.bat 

After creating the file, double click on the Saved file. A new folder will be created. Enter your data in the folder. Again, double click on the batch file. Type Y and press Enter. The folder will be hidden from view.

To re-view your folder, double click on the saved batch file. Enter password as 
" computer-tricks-corner.blogspot.com " without quotes ("") and press Enter key. This is also the default password. Your folder will be visible again.

To change the default password, edit the part of the code given in blue and enter your own password.

The overall usability of this trick can be improved by deleting the batch file after hiding your folder and re-creating it when you wish to access your folder again.

If you face any problem using this trick, you can write a comment and I will do my best to help you.

Note : This works on Windows 7, Windows XP and Vista. First try this on useless data to be sure and then only hide your personal data.
