Google Voice # with my phone number

Source : https://support.google.com/voice/thread/17955571?hl=en

ECH NOTE: [CRITICAL]: There is a bug in the Google Voice number verification process whereby a successfully verified number may not be successfully applied to the account following verification. Nothing will be communicated to the user to indicate that said verified number has been rescinded. No explanation for the revocation of said verified number will be provided.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Follow the appropriate steps to create a Google Voice number using your Google account and an existing phone number for verification.

2. Verify said number via text or automated phone call.

3. Observe in web browser that number creation is successful. This confirmation will be posted on a page with URL https://voice.google.com/u/5/signup.

The message will be: "Phone number added. (***) ***-**** has been successfully linked to your account and will ring when someone calls your Google Voice number."

4. Click Finish

5. Observe that the successfully linked number does not show up in your account. Nothing is communicated to the user to indicate why the successfully linked number has vanished.

Actual results:

The successfully linked number does not show up in your account. Nothing is communicated to the user to indicate why the successfully linked number has vanished. Your phone number has now been burned and cannot be used again for Google Voice number verification.

Expected results:

The successfully linked number should show up in your account. If something has prevented the link from being successful, something should be communicated to the user to indicate why the successfully linked number has vanished. Preferably this should be messaging should be accomplished using a combination of  pop-up error messaging and email/text notification.

Workaround:

None. Some successfully verified numbers will result in this kind of false positive. This is a known bug that there are no plans to fix. In this case, the user must keep in mind that they should never believe everything they read on the Internet. Just because you receive a notification that an action on your account has been successful does not mean that the communicated success has occurred!

How to Reset Your Forgotten Password in Windows 10

Source: https://www.howtogeek.com/222262/how-to-reset-your-forgotten-password-in-windows-10/

First, start by booting your Windows 10 installation into the setup by changing the boot order in your BIOS to take priority with the CD, or use the ISO as a startup disk instead.

You’ll need to boot from Windows 10 installation media to do this. First, you’ll need to create Windows 10 installation media on a USB drive or DVD. Once you have, change the boot order on your PC and boot from the USB drive or disc.

Once the setup begins, hit Shift+F10.

This will bring up a command prompt. From here, we’re going to use the command prompt to replace the Utility Manager at the login screen with cmd.exe with the following commands:

move d:\windows\system32\utilman.exe d:\windows\system32\utilman.exe.bak

copy d:\windows\system32\cmd.exe d:\windows\system32\utilman.exe

Once this is complete, use the command “wpeutil reboot” to restart the machine.

After you’re back at the login screen, click the Utility Manager. If everything went right, you should see a cmd.exe launch like the image below.

This is the prompt you’ll use to create a new administrative user from the login screen. Type in the following commands, replacing with the name you’d like to assign to the new account (no carrots).

net user <username> /add

net localgroup administrators <username> /add

Now close the prompt, reboot, and you should see your new user in the login screen.

How do I get Chinese handwriting on Windows 10?

Source :
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/chinese-handwriting-input-for-windows-10/6e4aa7e6-5996-4356-a5eb-bd12e9aad787

. Open the Start menu and select Settings.

b. Then in Settings, select "Time & language" (After this is set up, you can just click at the bottom of the input methods menu. And a right-click on the old-style task bar input method button goes even deeper).

c. This will take you to the Time & Language settings. In the "Region and Language" section, under "Languages", select "Add a language":

d. Scroll to the right as needed to find "Chinese (Simplified)" and/or "Chinese (Traditional)" in the list:

"Chinese (Simplified)" actually includes a Traditional character option, and "Chinese (Traditional)" includes a Simplified character option, each with some limitations.

The default Chinese "region" choices are mainland China and Hong Kong for most users of an English-language Windows release. Microsoft has put the Traditional character display language pack downloads only in the Hong Kong settings. (Unlike Windows 8 the Taiwan and Macau locales do offer the handwriting feature, and all include speech.)

When you're done, back in the Languages section you'll find the regions you've selected. When you click on their names, you'll be rewarded with the three buttons you see here. For now, select "Options":

The default keyboard for PRC and Singapore is Microsoft Pinyin. The default keyboard for Taiwan is Microsoft Bopomofo, but for Hong Kong it's Microsoft Quick (a quicker Cangjie). Click "Add a keyboard" to select another from the menu. A keyboard that has been selected can be removed by clicking on the name and selecting "Remove".

"MS Bopomofo" supports Hanyu Pinyin in addition to Zhuyin Fuhao. On the next page you can change the keyboard to Hanyu Pinyin, and on later pages we can use this IME for Simplified characters, and use MS Pinyin for Traditional characters, as well as the display language, handwriting, and speech features.

The Cantonese Phonetic input method (Jyutping) was added in an automated update to Windows 10, but it cannot be selected from the menu shown above.

Now you can click on the name of each input method editor (IME) you've chosen, to get at the Options buttons.
