    There's a few options for handling this. But the absolute first thing you should do is change your password to something longer with an abundance of numbers, case-sensitive letters, and ASCII symbols (be careful if you use uncommon ones, for some devices may not be able to enter those...

    Unsatisfied with Laptop, Should I sell it and buy the one I want?

    Should I buy an I5/I7?

    I bought an I3 with my new pc, because it appeared to be the cheapest and most powerful processor at the time. However, this processor quickly reaches the maximum temperature (100C) for gaming and I wanted to get something more powerful. I was planning on buying an I7-4770k or I5-4690k to...
