Checked and didn't see one, stupid questions thread.

So my friend forgot the password to his laptop, and he said fuck it and he's going to just upgrade his windows. The thing is, he has a number of important files he needs to save before he formats.

Question: Could I use a Live cd of some linux OS to copy the files to an external drive, and if so which OS would be best for that?

FOUR. FUCKING. HOURS.
That's how much time I've spent today fighting with this stupid notebook and Windows.
First off, let me just say that Windows is the stupidest thing I've ever dealt with. Windows 8 is even stupider.
Whoever thought that the BIOS being accessible only when booting into Windows first should be killed. Then revived. Then killed again.
Secondly, ASUS should be smacked because I don't think they tested PXE. It successfully downloads something then proceeds to discard it. This is the first time I've had to run diagnostics, tools, and install via USB for years.
In this day and age where even the BIOS can see and address a USB stick, there's no reason why Windows can't. But no.... Windows is too damn stupid to figure out how to make a partition.
I had to do a few hacks via diskpart in order to create a partition to install on.
I finally got Windows 7 installed thanks to Smart86 for telling me that Win7 drivers are finally available.
Everything works. Except USB3. The USB3 drivers that are available apparently don't work for the OS that's installed. *facepalm*
For the record, USB3 works just fine within various Linux distros out of box without issues.
I hate you Microsoft.

Does anyone have access to barnaby jacks programs discussed in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsXLwdw76-Y

I am in Africa and the ATMs here can be exploited using the dillinger and scrooge programs.

Other tools that are similar in function are also welcome.

Firefox has become so bloated.

Any good non-bloated browsers? I don't really like Pale Moon because of the lack of muh vimperator.
