4. Select Boot from CD/DVD from the boot menu
5. Boot the Live CD( iso or whatever method you did) in Text mode
6. Once the bash prompt shows, type fdisk -l to show your drives. Usually it's /dev/sda1
7. Make a mount point, type : mkdir /mnt/vmdisk                    - type enter
8. Mount the vm disk, type :  mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/vmdisk (replace /dev/sda1 with your drive’s info)     - type enter
9. Change shell roo,t type :  chroot /mnt/vmdisk                       - type enter
10. Change the root password, type :  passwd root                    - type enter and type a new password
11. Confirm the change is saved to disk, type :  sync                  - type enter
12. Reboot the image, type :  reboot                                         - type enter

Now you should boot into your VM and be able to use the new password.

After this is working, you may want to change the .vmx file to reduce the boot delay down to a smaller value like 5 seconds (5000), or to delete that line.

Why hackers hack a page in social networks - Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google plus - How to be safe

All of these applications are developped by hackers to hack YOU, it's not safe for you, do not download such programs

Why hackers hack a page in social networks - Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google plus - How to be safe

Learn facebook ShortKeys : Facebook ShortCut Keys

Social networks are increasingly popular on the Internet. We can spend hours on these networks, make comments on photos of our friends, play games and simply chat, and it's no more a secret for all of us, that all social networks are a very good target for hackers, to retrieve information related to anything (advertising, terrorism, personal photos, videos...), so to protect your information and navigation while on social networks; real the following :

Why hackers hack a page in social networks

Attackers hack pages on social networks quite often. The most popular social networks, including FaceBoo, Twitter, Pinterest, Google Plus+, Tumblr, Instagram, VK, LinkediN. There are several reasons for breaking your page:

v Ordered to hack your page to get confidential information (correspondence, photos, etc.).
v Using your page to try to hack your friend's page.
v For spamming.
v Blackmail (page redemption money).
v Distribution of computer viruses.
v Theft of money.
v Despite the cause of the rupture, the result is always the same - you lose access to you page and the attacker knows your personal data (correspondence, personal photos, etc.) and through your page, they can hack your friends pages.
v Beginners hackers to test their skills.
v Anyway to protect your resistance.

How to protect your page 

Get a reliable mailbox
When you enroll in any social network, you need to specify an e- mail. It is necessary that, if you forget the password of your page, you could get a new one (or restore the old one ) through the mailbox. If an intruder breaks into your inbox, then, hacking your  page is not difficult.

Most reliable Mailbox systems are Yandex, Google, Yahoo and Hotmail. Be sure to set a password to your inbox. To create a password, use the password generator.

Set a strong password for your Account
A fairly common method of hacking pages is - search for various combinations of passwords. This is achieved by a special program that can create thousands of combinations of passwords per second.
Be safe against this threat is using a complex password on your page. The better the password is, the longer and harder to break your page. To create a password, use the password generator

Or do not give your password even for you girlfriend or your wife.
Attackers often fraudulently try to learn your password, How ?

They send you an email, where the email looks really close and similar to the social network target (for example Facebook), they tell you that you can go to your Facebook administration page to see new applications or whatever...
Or they can tell you that that there is an error occurred on the server (or similar situations) and you must send your password. You can even get another message, but the purpose is all the same, to lead you type your password in the form and click send, once you do that, you’ve been hacked.

Remember that the owners of social networks have all passwords pages. They make a backup of all data and never ask you to send your password or e -mail address. They do not need that information. Do not believe and do not respond to that kind of messages at the request to send the password.

Please enter your mobile phone
The major social networks (VKontake, classmates) have an additional opportunity to protect your page - send your password to your mobile phone. If you cannot go to your page, you can enter your mobile number and you will be sent a password to restore access .

Make sure you take this opportunity and provide a mobile number during registration. This protection is more efficient and provides quick access to pirated content.

Install a good Antivirus
There are computer viruses that are able to read the keys pressed on the keyboard. Imagine that you’re on the social network page and you enter the password. In the first pages the virus begins to read all pressing buttons on the keyboard and sends this information to the attacker.

To be sage against these viruses, you need to install a good and reliable antivirus.

Check the website address
There are viruses that redirect you to a page that is completely identical to the social networking page. When you enter your user name and password on this fake page, you got in the trap and the attacker gets these information.

These sites are specially designed for passwords. Even their names are very similar. Agree that nobody will notice the difference between the current location Site “www.odnoklassniki.ru” and location "www.odnoklassnki.ru" and the attacker  is “www.odnaklassniki.ru", another example is the famous www.facebook.com and www.Fasebook.com or even www.faceboock.com

Of course, the creators of social networks are struggling with such sites and try to buy these addresses, to prevent attackers from using them for fraud, but still be careful.

Be honest user
The social network is a small world in which the rules are still living. Be honest user. Do not go to strangers that would please or joke page. Do not add yourself to friends of unkown people. Do oot to engage in a large number of groups and communities. All these actions make your page more attractive to hackers.
