List of Smartphones - Android Jelly Bean Devices

It’s been a month since the latest version of Android was announced. Dubbed “Jelly Bean”  keeping with the tradition of naming successive versions after desserts alphabetically, version 4.1 of the world’s most popular mobile operating system was met with positive reactions. You can read about the new features here. However, the one thing on everyone’s mind is, when is it finally going to be available widely and what are the Android Jelly Bean Devices? Considering the track record of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, not everyone is hopeful about a smooth deployment. After all, Ice Cream Sandwich was released way back in October 2011 and it still isn’t available on most devices.

Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to be hopeful does it? Google has been rather tight lipped about when and how many devices will get Jelly Bean. So here are the devices we know will get an upgrade to Jelly Bean or come with it out of the box. They are categorized manufacturer wise:

Lets have a look at how we canrecover our windows passwords.But sadly for the windows Vista and 7 users, this method is not applicable.

1) Firstly to recover your windows XP password, you need to boot your computer into safe mode. To do this, just reboot your computer and keep tapping the F8 key until you are redirected to the Windows Advanced Options Menu. Here, select the Safe Mode option and hit the return key.

2) Windows will now boot into Safe Mode. It might take a little longer than that of the usual boot-up. It’s alright. After a while you’ll be presented with the User Account logon screen.If you click on your account, it will still ask you for the password which you do not know. There is another Administrator account which has no password by default. Click on the Administrator account to load windows.

3) Once Windows has finished loading, a pop-up box will appear, this is a simple warning that some of your devices may not work properly. This is due to the safe mode boot up, it disables all your multimedia and networking devices and drivers. Click on the yes button to confirm you are happy using Windows in Safe Mode.

4) A basic looking version of windows desktop will appear, click on the start button, then go to control panel.Locate the User Accounts Icon and open it. You will now see a list of user accounts, choose the account of which you have forgotten he password of.From the list of options, click change password. Now a window will appear, since you do not require the old password to change it, you can simply enter the new password and get yourself a new Windows password.
