Foreword (9/27/09): I understand that the concept of having Windows 7 before release date and activating it for personal use is illegal.  I also understand that there are lots of sites out there with similar tutorials teaching the masses how to do the same type of task.  It is unfortunate that it has come down to this, but in short Windows 7 is a great OS, and if you have the due diligence to give Microsoft some hard earned respect, it is by purchasing this OS.  We are only the messenger, not the creator of any of these activation programs.  If you are looking for someone to take down and nail, then I suggest you browse http://win7vista.com and find your answers there.  Good luck, and have fun on your PC journey. ~ Versatile

• Be sure to select either 32bit(x86) or 64bit(x64) during the install

Getting Started

Now that you have your windows 7 ISO your gonna need to burn that iso file to a disc.  Make sure you burn the ISO at a low speed like 4x to ensure quality also run a verify check on the disc afterwards

Use any burning program that supports iso files.  I suggest using ImgBurn or Deepburner because they are freeware, but you could use any  iso burning program that you prefer.

Get ImgBurn here (IMGBurn) Get Deepburner here (deepburner)

Installing Windows 7 Ultimate

Now that you have your windows 7 iso  burned to a disc, just insert and run the autorun.exe and begin your install.  You will be asked on whether or not you want to do a clean install (erases all data on your computer) so make a backup if you go this route.  Next option is an upgrade from vista (with this you will keep all of your old files but the install will take alot longer) Note: typicall install time is 1 to 2 hours, also always backup before installing a new OS. Read the notes below to get this fully activated OEM to work.

NOTES: For a clean install you need to boot the disc on startup.  For an upgrade you can run it from windows(you can only upgrade from vista or a previous windows7 release) not from XP.

Windows installation pics:

Very Important info during the install…

write this down otherwise it won’t work and you’ll have to reinstall

Whether doing an upgrade or a clean install make sure that you uncheck the box to automatically activate windows online.Then when prompted select Ask me later.

Pics of this are below sorry for the image quality it came from the faxcool’s images for install.

• Make sure to Uncheck the “automatically activate windows box” and to select Ask me later when prompted.

• Also a good rule of thumb is to install with your internet disconnected to avoid making a mistake.

• The copy is already activated by simply doing these 2 steps during the install. It’s that simple.

Proof of activation can be checked by typing activate windows in the search and you should get the first pic below

Or you can check your windows experience and get a picture like the one off my laptop. 2nd Pic down.

Finally, here we go with the first new article in a long time.  Let’s ease ourselves into some delicious knowledge, shall we?

As you may have known, in Microsoft Excel, there is a password feature that the user can use to protect the worksheet as well as the workbook.  Why would you want to password the file?  Well, let’s think about it.  You may want to password the file if:

• It contains hidden information you do not want the user to have access to.
• The document needs to be read only so it does not get modified.
• Do not want people modifiying the data and then giving it to others with wrong information.
• Form of security.

There may be more reason why you want to password protect your files, but this is the highlights of it.  Well, what do you do if you enter in a password and then forget it later on?  Well, first of all, shame on you.

Yes, but how is this article supposed to be Underground?

Of course, the real reason why you are here.  Here is a good example.  Someone at work created a great pricing spreadsheet where you enter in the product’s catalog number, and in the end it spits out the price of that product.  Well, this is great until you have to edit the numbers in the background to have the spreadsheet output correct pricing for current day standards. The problem? The person who was in charge of maintaining this document was laid off, and leaving the password behind was not at the top of his priority list.

Am I doomed to use the old pricing?  Not at all.  With a clever macro script, I can remove the password, take a look at the algorithm, and then update it how I please.  Now that is underground!

Note: I suppose people may dupe others into supplying them excel documents with sensitive information where the giver is under the belief that you will not be able to guess the password. Well, now you will soon have the knowledge to make the creator think twice!

Tutorial

First of all, you need to go to www.straxx.com and download the excel password remover program.  It is compatible with Excel 2003 and below.  It may work on Office 2007, but since Office 2007 has stronger encryption the macro might fail.
