Recovering passwords deleted or overwritten in Opera
I personally suffer from a very bad memory, sometimes I wonder if I still have one. For that I rely too much on the Opera wand to save my passwords. the bad thing is that sometimes, and by mistake you overwrite a good password that was stored. and you can’t remember what it was.
Unfortunately, opera does not backup your passwords, and to recover this precious password you will have only one hope, and you will have to running windows Vista or 7..
1. Close Opera
2. Navigate to E:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera and find the file wand.dat.
3. right click it, select properties and select, “restore previous versions”
4. if you are lucky, there should be a previous version of the file dating before the date where you overwritten the password.
5. Overwrite the current file with the recovered one.
Open Opera, you should have your password back!
I think you also do this to recover deleted history, deleted bookmarks, etc. you will just have to recover the right file
Use Opera unite to access thousands of shared music and video files
If you don’t know what is Opera Unite, then you can read some more about it here or visit the official website here
Today we will discuss how to use Google to access the media and data files that other Opera unite users are sharing after their permission to have their shared files indexable by Google.
To keep things simple I will set a few links that will give you direct access to Google search results.
1. Streaming music files
2.Streaming Video, Audio, and downloadable PDFs
3. Any shared files.
4. Shared Pictures
5. Acess to self hosted websites click repeat the search with the omitted results included. to show all results.
Clicking repeat the search with the omitted results included. will increase the number of results because Google tends to assume that multiple results are repeated.
Some of the results you will try to access will be offline, this means that the computer hosting the application is currently off, or Opera is not running.
Please carful while accessing self hosted website, there is no way to know the kind of material that can be hosted there. Also do not download suspesious or pirated apps from other’s computers, this can be very dangerous.
To have your opera services indexed by Google and publicly accessible, do the following.
1. register with opera unite and prepare all the application you want to share.
2. Right click each of the applications that you will be sharing and select properties.
3. click on the advanced settings arrow, then check “make application visible to search engines”.
4. If you wish for your files to be publicly viewable, please remove the password protection. to do so open the admin tab of the application that you sharing and click “Public” then save your settings.
that’s it!
It’s of course obvious that your internet bandwidth will be affected if you are sharing huge files that are publicly accessible, and let’s not neglect the risk of virus infection if you were smart enough to open a publicly accessible “File Inbox”
Please do not do illegal stuff with the info provided here. Opera gave us a good thing, let’s not ruin it!
Feel free to post your Opera unite applications links (and passes if any) here.
Opera Unite
Opera unite is a new service provided with the latest Opera browser 10.10. The idea is simple, you create an Opera account, and to that account, you can connect multiple computers (say: Home , Work, Notebook etc) and on each of these computers, you can install applications to do various things, like file sharing, or music streaming!
Other than that, you can connect to your friends computers, check the pictures they are sharing, leave them notes on the fridge (a note sending service is literally called fridge) , or listen to their music.
You can password protect your shared services to increase your security, but on the other hand you can go public and make the files you are sharing appear on search engines!
Another great feature of Opera Unite is the ability to provide a web server. You can host your own website on your computer without stressing over network related issues (static or dynamic IP, port forwarding etc). Opera will provide you with a URL that will give you direct access to your website from anywhere. I think I will write more on some applications of this very soon.
Many more applications are also available, like video streaming, group spreadsheet editor, file inbox and I expect much more to be available soon.
If anyone cares about testing the new Opera Unite as a group, please write your request here.
