    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.



    How clever would the *friends* admin be?

    basically seeing as uve used ur 'administrator' account as an actual account ur stuffed as far as exploiting windows without any tools goes.

    get urself a live copy of knoppix or another linux distro that uses ntfs and remove all the passwords for all accounts
