  1. I tried all the steps described above but when i got to the part which says “You will see a file private.bat . Double click on it . A new folder will be created by this batch program named “Private“, i didn’t get any new folder created ! I tried clicking on the private.bat couple of times, but i got nothing. My laptop is HP Stream 13 with windows 8.1 and 64-bit

    • Hi Robel,
      Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately there was a bug on the code. I have just updated it. Could you please check it now? I am sure it will work now

  2. Sumit Ranjan Mishra says

    Aren’t you just simply hiding it? I mean, I switched on “View Hidden Files” and I found the folder just sitting there with a different name.

  3. Soyal Dominic says

    Simple.
    Just right click on the batch file and open it with notepad. There we can find out the password.
