There's that delicate balance... That's the only concern I had posting it but the positives out-weigh the negatives.

which method are you referring to when you say all encrypted messages will be lost? And what determines which messages are encrypted or not? Sorry, new to this computer world. | My System Specs | | |

Hello taskforce403, welcome to Seven Forums!
The method described in this tutorial, if you use this tutorial to reset a user account password all encrypted files be lost; you would have to have personally used encryption software to encrypt files, Windows does not encrypt any files by default, all system files will remain unchanged. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number * BFK Customs * OS W 7 64-bit Ultimate CPU Intel Q9550 Yorkfield Motherboard ASUS P5Q Pro Memory 8GB Dominator 8500C5D Graphics Card ATI : XFX 5870 Sound Card Realtek HD Audio 7-1 Monitor(s) Displays 1x 47" LCD HDMI & 3x 26" LCD HDMI Screen Resolution 1920x1080P & 1920x1200 Keyboard Microsoft 500 Mouse Razer Diamondback 3G PSU Corsair 620HX Case Cooler Master RC-690 Cooling Tuniq Tower 120, 2x 140mm and 3x 120mm case fans Hard Drives 1x 80GB Intel X25-M G2 SSD : 1x 500GB & 1x 640GB WD Caviar Black(s) Internet Speed 14 Mb/s Other Info 1x Koutech 3Gb/s SATA HDD Hot Swap Rack |
