There was a time when computers were so expensive that, to own one was beyond the means of a common man and, they were only affordable for the elite of the society. Times have changed and the prices of computers have fallen so drastically that it has been moved from the list of luxury items to the list of essential items in a household. They have become so cheap that you can easily buy a brand new personal computer with basic configuration for just Rs. 13,500/- excluding tax, or a used computer for around one third that price.

One of the simplest HR issues that a company has to handle is managing leaves. Initially we did not have a fixed leave policy and leaves and holidays were granted on a need basis and on short notice. However as we grew we realized the need for systematizing this to be able to manage and plan our activities and projects. Creating a leave policy might sound easy but we had to put a lot of thought into this. We wanted it to be as flexible as possible but with enough rigidity to have a predictable system.

A general issue faced by many of our customers is that they forget the administrator password which is required to login to the computer. Without this password, there is no way a normal user can gain access to the computer system and its contents. Most of us will end up formatting the hard disk or installing a fresh copy of Windows as a remedy. As a result, we make an unwanted payment for the service provider for both formatting and installing Windows. There is always a remedy for gaining access to the computer system without formatting or installing new copy of Windows.
