For privacy protection and data security purposes, it is very necessary to set a login password for the Windows user in use in many environments (especially the public places). But sometimes, we may forget our login password for those computers we don't use very often, or remember the wrong password, and fail to log in. This case, reinstalling the operating system is a inadvisable bad plan; and taking brute-force password cracking is extremely inefficient. Therefore, clearing the original user password has always been the first choice - also the easiest and most efficient way.

Each of the released versions of Microsoft Windows is not perfect, this is the fact that can be accepted by the public. But the behavior of Windows 10 started to insanely stealing its users' privacy info (euphemistically called: data mining) has been deeply embedded into the every process of the whole system operation, while this is unbearable for any senior Windows users. So we have to resort to some third-party applications to protect the security of our digital privacy.

There are too many software that can encrypt any type of files, but only very few file encryption tools are able to protect a file as easily and directly as setting an access password (anyone can access some file at any time, on any computer by just providing the correct password), especially for multimedia files. Because these methods usually require the user to install the corresponding encrpytion software and perform decryption operations.

When phasing out the use of hard disk and other devices storing digital data, for ordinary users, the private data inside should be erased effectively in order to avoid the abuse or leakage of privacy made by people with ulterior motives; for enterprises and institutions, the data is often very important, sensitive and confidential, so that they must be destroyed strictly. To do this, we have to turn to some third party professional data sanitizing tools, because deleting the data itself and formatting the entire disk are all futile.
