How to Lock Your Computer using Usb – PREDATOR


Technical advancement has brought new vistas of safety and security and today it is very easy to make your laptops and notebooks safe and secure with technologies such as fingerprint readers, face recognition, eye scanners etc. But is there any way to make your personal computer safe?
Here, you’ll find a simple trick that will let you lock your computer using a Usb. This will make your computer work only when you’ll plug in the Usb and once you’ll remove it the keyboard as well as the mouse will be disabled automatically and the screen will turn dark. And finally your computer will be locked automatically. And in order to unlock it, you will have to insert the Usb again.
You can use this trick on all the versions of Windows which include both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows.
So, here we go for the trick that will get your computer Locked with the help of Usb using Predator:-

Step 1. Download the predator software.
Step 2. Once the installation gets completed, Predator gets launched automatically but if it doesn’t happen so in your case, you always have the possibility to run it from –Start/Programs/Predators.
Step 3. After this step, you’ll have to insert your Usb. You will now receive a message asking you to define a new password for yourself. (At the same time it is notable that this won’t get your pendrive formatted and hence your pendrive data will not get lost by this.)
Step 4. Click on the Ok of the dialogue box after which another dialogue box will appear, simple Enter your new password in it.
Step 5. Make sure that the drive letter that gets displayed under “USB key drive” really matches your flash drive. Otherwise you can also select the correct letter from the dropdown list.
Step 6. This is the final step where you are simply required to click on the Create Key button and after that on the OK button.

n the OK button.
Now, the software will automatically exit and after this you will just have to restart the program for which you’ll have to click its icon on the desktop. But remember, a few seconds will be needed in the initialization of Predator and when you’ll find the icon in the taskbar turned green, the software will have self initialized.
