One day, Tina came to our dormitory with two thumb drives to copy some movies. She connected one thumb drive to my roommate GAO WENJUAN’s Macbook and the other to another roommate QI QI’s computer. The instant she connected the thumb drive to Qi Qi’s computer, however, the monitor became dark and the computer had no response, according to which, we soon became aware that there must be viruses that were rather strong in Tina’s thumb drive.
Luckily, the process of copying movies on WENJUAN’s Macbook went smoothly. Nevertheless, given that the other thumb drive contained viruses, WENJUAN was quite worried about her Macbook believing that the thumb drive connected to her Macbook also contained viruses and the viruses were in such a great diversity that some of the viruses might even be compatible with Mac Operating System (Mac OS). Having found that the program responded much slower than before, she was determined to do something. So she clicked on security and somehow set a master password to add to the safety of her Macbook.
The next day she switched on her Macbook, she found that she couldn’t log in. So I surfed on the Internet to help her find out the solution. Then we knew that the master password she had set, had 128 digits, thus, this password is called “gold password” and no one would have the patience to figure it out.
After making all the efforts, we had to turn to the Macbook service center for help. Then we knew that the main aim of the master password is to lock extremely important files, therefore, if you don’t have the password in mind, you have no access to the files. So the only way to have access to the computer was to give up the files store in the computer and install the operation system again.
As it is very complicated and difficult to install the Mac OS, WENJUAN had to do it following the guidance give by the service center through the phone. Unfortunately, when it comes to the most crucial part, WENJUAN’s hand phone broke down suddenly. Then she didn’t know how to do with both her hand phone and Macbook.
After this unlucky experience，my friend got to know that be careful with the thumb drive connected to the computer and never set a master password.
