Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:

Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

EditTips

  • You can also change other user settings.
  • In any text editor type Run: control userpasswords2 and save a file as filename.bat
  • Take the bat file on a USB flash drive.

EditWarnings

  • You can not actually view the user password, so anyone will be able to tell if you've been on their account.
  • Do not use this to access people's personal files.
