Tech-Hut : Your Daily Dose Of Technology!

I've seen many people searching for some way out to break the administrator password, either they forgot their own password or they want to hack into someone else's computer.

As a matter of fact doing this is not as hard as it seems. In this article i'll talk about different ways in different scenario.



CASE 1: You want to reset the password of some account and you already have access to a administrator account.

This one is quite simple.

*Go to run, type command cmd to open command prompt

*At the prompt type command net user

*This will get you the list of all the user accounts on that system, note down the name of account that you want the password reseted.

Now you can use two ways

1. type command net user username * .
(where username is the name of account whose password you want to reset it will ask for new password. type it(remember you won't see anything you typed but its still there in invisible) and you have the password reseted.

or

2. type command controluserpasswords2 . this will open up a new box. there select that account and click reset password button

But as we earlier talked... this way works if you already have access to any administrator account.



CASE 2: Okay now You don't have access to any administrator account.

The first and most obvious attempt in any password cracking is Guessing. So First try to guess the obvious.

On the Login screen of windows where you enter the password for different accounts Press CTRL+ALT+DEL Twice . This will take you to an advanced login box where you have to enter the username and password Both . In the username field type Administrator. Now we have to do some hit-and-trial.

Username: Administrator

now for password first try these
1. blank password i.e leave the password field blank
2. administrator
3. Administrator
4. Admin
5. admin

You might be thinking of these as childish but believe me they DO work. i am talking about it here bcoz they are based on basic human nature. In the time of windows installation many people leave the field blank for password. some choose administrator or admin

If this thing Is not working for you, here is the FULL-AND-FINAL

1. Download this zip file. Click Here To Download

2. It has an .iso image of a bootable CD. Extract the image and burn it on a CD. The password is tech-hut . you can use nero.

3. Now go to the BIOS settings(press DEL on the very beginning of booting) . there set the first boot device as CD ROM. Save it and exit

4. Now your computer will boot on the CD.



Now Follow these Steps.....

1. After booting the first option you'll get is to select the partition. By default it has [1] selected so, just press enter

2. Next it will ask for the path to the registry file. By default it has the path so, Just press enter

3. Next it will ask to select the part of registry. Type 1 and press enter.

4. You will now get the main menu. here you have to select the task. To change password Just press enter key

5. Now you have to select the account. I recommend you go for the administrator account rather than any other. By default it has administrator selected. Just Press Enter key

6. Its time to change the password. When it asks for new password just type * and press enter key. it will delete the previous password of administrator account.

7. Now it will ask " do you really wish to change it?". type y and press enter

8. In the next part type ! and press enter. to get back to the main menu.

9. In the main menu type q and press enter

10. It will say "About to write files back". Type y and hit enter key

11. Now it will ask if you want a new run. Type n and hit enter key.

12. Now restart your computer manually.


Now again change the boot priority back to Hard disk as First and CD ROM as second as you did in step 3. earlier.

When you get to the login window, press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice to get to the advanced login box. There in the Username field type Administrator and leave the password Field blank. Hit Enter.


YOU ARE IN!!!


P.S- If somehow the administrator password is not removed, don't give up. Do these steps all over again... i assure you, it works! There might have been some mistakes that you made. But remember to make a proper shutdown just before your next attempt.
