How To Find BSNL Broadband User Id ?

Most of the time we configure our modems once and leave them untouched because they have an auto connect feature so we do not require to enter our user id/username and password every time we want to connect to internet. This is most basic reason why we forget our username's/user id's and passwords.

BSNL is an Indian Telecom company which also provides broadband through landlines, as discussed above most of the broadband users forget their user id and password as they configure their modem once and after that they set it on auto redial mode. Another reason for forgetting the user id or better to say that not knowing the user id and password is when we apply for a broadband connection, the broadband company simply sends their engineers to set up our modem and after setting up the modem their engineers just walk away without telling us the username and password.

So if you are the one who is finding it difficult to find your BSNL user id and password then you are at the right place. In this tutorial you will find the four ways through which you can find your BSNL broadband user id easily.

So these are the four simple approaches :

• Finding it on your monthly bill.
• By using the BSNL self-care portal service. 
• By using customer care service.
• By guessing it by yourself.

Lets discuss the first method which is an easy approach as compared to the second method but the second method has its own advantage so we discuss it in details after discussing the first way of finding the BSNL user id. Third approach is also an easy approach but as we all know that BSNL's customer service is pathetic but since it is a way so we would look into it also. And the fourth and last approach is for those who are not able find their BSNL broadband user id by all the three methods.

Finding BSNL User Id on Monthly Bill:

• If you are a BSNL user from some time and regularly getting your bills then this approach is a better for you because there is not need to register for BSNL self-care portal.
• So first take out your monthly BSNL bill and see the second page of the bill.

• Here in the corner you will find your BSNL broadband user id which would look like:

• [Two Characters][STD code without zero][Your Phone Number][Underscore][Some BSNL Code]

• Now you have your user id, so you can use it to connect to the internet.

By Using The BSNL Self-Care Portal Service:

• If you are a new BSNL user and haven't received your first monthly bill from BSNL then you can choose this option.
• The first thing you have to do is to register an account on BSNL Selfcare Portal. You may find it difficult because BSNL has separate sites for different regions so follow the below tutorial if you don't know your region as well as the other details which are required for registering an account on BSNL Self-care Portal.
• How To Register For BSNL Self-Care Portal ?
• After creating an account on BSNL Selfcare Portal, simply Log in with your username and password provided by the BSNL.

• After that you will be redirected to your account.
• Now look at the left sidebar and click on My Sevices And then select View Broadband Usage from the list as shown in screenshots.

• Now you can see your broadband user id, which is given just below the heading "Broadband Usage Details".

How To Get The Password ?

• By default the BSNL broadband password is "password" itself that is you have to write "password" in the password field.

By Using Customer Care Service :

As we all know that BSNL customer care is not good but still they provide good service in some areas so there is a possibility that they might help you out. So for getting your BSNL broadband user Id and Password dial 1504 (BSNL Broadband Customer Care Number) from your land line phone and ask the customer care executive for your Broadband user id and password. If possible he/she will provide you your broadband id and password.

By Guessing It By Yourself:

As we have already discussed the format of BSNL broadband user id in first method and also we know that the default password is "password" itself so it is not difficult to guess the BSNL broadband user id.
Since we know the format which is:

[Two Characters][STD code without zero][Your Phone Number][Underscore][Some BSNL Code]

So, the first thing we need to figure out is Two Characters.

How To Find These two characters ?

The first two characters of your BSNL broadband user id is generally the first two letters of the name on which land line is registered.

For example: If somebody has a Land line connection with the name "Ajay Singh"then his broadband user id's first two characters would be "aj". Make sure to write these letters in small letters/lower case because all letters in BSNL broadband id are in Lower Case.

Now the Second Field is STD Code, so if you have a land line connection then it is obvious that you know your city's STD code. So from the STD code remove the first number which is generally zero.

For example: Suppose your city's STD code is 0562, so remove the zero from it and use the last three letters that is 562.

Now our Third Field, which is Phone Number. There is no need to discuss it because we all know our phone numbers. So here we are taking an example of phone number so that we can use it to show you how your user id will look like after filling up all the fields.

Sample Phone number: 2212XX7 

Now the Last field, which is BSNL Code, generally they use "ncdr" at the end of the broadband user id but if it doesn't works for you then you can ask the code from any friend living near by you who is using BSNL broadband. Generally BSNL gives the same code to all users for a particular region / area.

So after filling up all the fields from our examples our newly generated BSNL Broadband User id will look like : aj5622212XX7_ncdr

Kruti Dev 010 Fonts Not Working In My Browser- How To Fix It ?

So you have downloaded and installed the Kruti Dev 010 Fonts (Hindi Fonts) but still you are not able to see the content in your browser and also not able to figure out the problem. So let us tell you the solution of this problem, actually this is not the problem with your PC, window or in font style itself but the problem is in browser. It is a compatibility issue rather than issue with anything else.

Basically our new browser versions do not support this font style and hence they are not showing it even after installing the fonts. Yesterday while surfing the net we found this issue with a website where the content is not shown properly because of incompatibility issue, the site was asking for downloading the Kruti Dev 010 fonts to show the content correctly but even after downloading it we were not able to see the content. Then first thing we tried that we checked our font directory to ensure whether we have installed the font correctly or not.

While checking our font directory we found that it is correctly installed and PC is showing no issues with it. Then we tried different browsers to see it whether it is working with any one of them but again we found that no browser is showing the content. After that we tried it with compatibility mode in Internet Explorer then we found that our problem is resolved and we could see the content properly.

So this is a case of compatibility issue and if you are the one who is facing the same problem then you can run the website which requires Kruti Dev 010 fonts in Internet explorer with compatibility view mode and also with other browsers by adding an extension in them but if you don't know how to set the compatibility View Mode in browsers then you can follow the below links:

How To Set Compatibility View Mode In Internet Explorer ?

Sometimes while surfing the net we visit some sites that are not compatible with our browsers and they start showing that Browser Not Supported. The actual problem with these sites is that they are designed for older versions of the browsers but when browser developing companies develop new browsers that have additional features or if they change a feature completely then the sites that supports older version of browser starts showing this error.

One more case that we found while surfing the net is the problem with some font styles mainly with those font styles which are of different language like Hindi fonts, Arabic fonts etc. While we were surfing an Indian government website we found that our browser is not supporting the Hindi fonts written in it and the site is suggesting us to download some specific Hindi font to view that content, we downloaded it and installed in our computer but even after installing the fonts the problem remained the same. So we tried to figure out the problem and what we found is that the font supports the older version of the browser, so for viewing the content of that website we require older versions of our browser.

So we have two options either we uninstall our new browser (which we do not recommend) or run our new browser in compatible mode so that it can support the websites that are compatible with older version. The solution of this problem is our old Internet Explore browser, which has a compatibility view mode feature which we can use to view a website in its compatible mode. But if you don't like Internet Explorer then you can also set your other browsers(mainly Firefox and Google Chrome) in compatible mode by using an extension, so if you want to set your other browser in compatible mode then you can read this below article:

• How to set compatibility view mode in Firefox ?

So for setting your Internet Explorer browser in compatibility view mode follow the steps given below:

• Open your Internet Explorer browser.
• Then Open the website that is not compatible with your current browser.
• After that click on Tools tab tab which is present on the top right in your browser or see the below screenshots.

• Alternatively you can also use ALT+X to open the tools.
• Then select Compatibility View Settings from the list.

• Now a new window will pop up where you have to add the the URL of the website which is not compatible with your browser.
• After that click on Add tab and then Close tab.

• Now refresh your page and it will start running in compatibility mode for that particular website/webpage.

How To Save Flash Files ?

Flash files always attract us, we can see the flash files on various websites. Nowadays people are using these files all around the web because it always gets the visitors attention and also enhances the looks of a blog/website. So it is very normal that when we see a flash file on a website we want to save it so that we can use them on our blog/website or for some other purposes. But when we try to save it as we save images on our computer then there is no option of "Save Image As". So if that is the case then don't be disappointed, its not a very hard thing to do but requires your little time and effort. So in this article we will discuss the two very popular methods of saving these files.

But before discussing about the two methods its better to know few things about flash files that we require later in this article.

• Flash files are saved in SWF format with .swf extension, where SWF stands for ShockWave Flash.
• In this article first we find out the URL of the flash file and then using that URL we would save our flash file to desktop.

The Following two methods are:

1. By using your Firefox Browser.
2. By viewing the source code in any web browser.

By Using The Firefox Browser:

• Every browser developing company tries to provide some unique features in their browser which are different from others so as to maximize the number of their browser users. We often need different browsers because of these different features like in Internet explorer there is a feature called Compatibility View mode which is not present in other browsers likewise Mozilla Firefox also has a different feature called "View Page Info" which is not present in other browsers. This feature is very useful because many a times it saves our valuable time, so we are going to use this feature to save our flash file.
• So first open the website/webpage(which contains flash file) in your Mozilla Firefox browser.
• Then Right click your mouse anywhere on the webpage.
• After that select view page info from the list.

• After that a window will pop up, then click on Media as shown in screenshots.
• In Media Files you will find that there are some URLs/Links, so search the URLs that end up with .swf or you can search a flash file URL by seeing the Type in Media Files. In Types these flash files are generally given as embed and object. So copy the URL of your required file or if it is difficult for you to find out which URL is the correct one then you can copy them one by one and accordingly paste them in the address bar of your browser till you get the right one.

• Now you have got the URL of your flash file, so paste the URL of flash file in the address bar of the browser.

• Now you can see your flash file, then click on Menu tab which is present on the top right of your browser or see the below screenshot describing the position of the menu tab.

• Then click on Save Page As and save the file in your desktop.

• Alternatively you can directly press CTRL+S, this will save the file to your PC.

• But Make sure that you have saved the file with .swf extension otherwise your file will not run.

By Viewing The Source Code In Any Web Browser:

• Open the website(which contains flash file) in your browser.
• Then press the right button(right click) of your mouse and select View Page Source from the list.
• Alternatively you can also press CTRL+U for the same. 

• Then a new window will pop up, now you can see the coding of the entire page.
• Then press CTRL+F and in search bar enter .swf, this will search all the URLs that end with .swf.

• Now search the URL of the file you want.
• Then copy the URL of your required file and paste it into the address bar of your browser and press Enter.

• Now you can see your Flash file in a separate tab.
• Now click on the Menu tab present on the top right of your browser, then click on Save Page As tab and save your file.
• Or you can use CTRL+S for the same.

• Now you have your flash file use it wherever you want.
