Something awful happened.

Tweet

I received a huge shock and quickly became distraught. i opened my laptop and turned it on and i had blank pages with default settings. everything was gone. no bookmarks meant hours and hours of research, gone. no photos, documents, no emails. my accounts all gone and i could not sign in to anything as all my dozens of passwords were gone. No history or sign in info so I couldn't retrieve anything and when i tried, my emails were not recognised. I found a help site and found a chat session and the guy took over my screen and said I was signed in with a temp user. He found my docs and photos and music and backed them up to my hard drive. He told me it was up to me to remember my passwords - yeah, sure, dozens of them and yes, i have some written down but not all. I thought of the money i have in accounts I could not get to like swagbucks and so on. He also said Windows 10 was still in Beta and apt to do some weird stuff. I spent a couple of hours trying to fix what I could then went to bed after 2am. Then I woke again at 4:45am and turned my computer back on and it was back to normal. I can't tell you what a shock I had received but I'm so pleased now and just hoping it doesn't happen again.
