Practical guide if you forgot Windows 8 picture password
Forgot Windows 7 password is the most common problem many uses faced. While the security of personal computers is always a priority for most consumers, Microsoft is taking password protection to the visual level with picture gestures. Very soon we will be drawing our Windows 8 picture password.
Lately, Microsoft's developer chief Steve Sinofsky said in the building Windows 8 blog, Windows 8 will boast new picture password technology to protect the system security. "Picture password is a new way to sign into Windows 8 that is currently in the Developer Preview"
The new picture password technology lets users draw a pattern around a picture they have chosen. Once you have selected an image, Windows 8 will divide the image into a grid. The longest dimension of the image is divided into 100 segments. The shorter dimension is then divided on that scale to create the grid upon which you draw gestures.
To set up your picture password, you then place your gestures on the field we create. Individual points are defined by their co-ordinate (x,y) position on the grid.
When you attempt to sign in with Picture password, the system evaluate the gestures you provide, and compare the set to the gestures you used when you set up your picture password.
But if a gesture type is wrong, authentication will always fail. You then locked out of the system. What should you do if you forgot Windows 8 picture password? Windows 8 picture password is difficulty though.
