OPEN RUN-TYPE EXACTLY “CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2” WITHOUT BRACKETS

ENJY!!!
METHOD 2:-FOR XP ONLY.
IF YOU HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT (NOT GUEST)
THEN THE XP USERS’ PASSWORDS CAN BE RESET USING COMMAND PROMPT.
GO TO THE TASK-BAR AND CLICK ON THE START BUTTON, THEN CLICK ON RUN AND IN THE PLACE GIVEN ON DIALOG BOX TYPE “COMMAND”, PRESS ENTER.
NOW IN THE COMMAND PROMPT TYPE “NET USER”
THE SCREEN WILL DISPLAY THE LIST OF USERS AVAILABLE ON MACHINE
SUPPOSE THERE ARE THREE ADMINISTRATOR USERS WITH THE NAME OF ADMIN1, ADMIN2 AND ADMIN3
THEN THE PASSWORD OF ANY USER CAN BE CHANGED BY LOGGING INTO THE ACCOUNT OF ANY ONE ADMINISTRATOR
FOR EXAMPLE IF WE WANT TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD OF ADMIN1
THEN WE CAN CHANGE IT FROM THE FOLLOWING COMMAND
NET USER ADMIN1 PASSWORD
THE GENERAL SYNTAX IS FOR CHANGING PASSWORD IS
NET USER <USER-NAME> <PASSWORD>
LIMITATIONS: THE ABOVE METHOD WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE LOGGED IN AS THE ADMINISTRATOR USER.
METHOD 3:-FOR XP ONLY.
WINDOWS RECOVERY OPTION,
BOOT FROM THE WINDOWS XP CD AND PRESS ENTER WHEN YOU ARE PROMPTED TO INSTALL WINDOWS COPY, ON THE NEXT SCREEN THERE IS A REPAIR EXISTING WINDOWS VERSION. THIS METHOD IS ALSO KNOWN AS WINDOWS RECOVERY METHOD,
THE REPAIR OPTION WILL TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS THE INSTALLATION WOULD HAVE TAKEN BECAUSE THE WINDOWS FILE-SYSTEM IS REPLACED INCLUDING THE SAM FILE WHERE THE PASSWORD IS STORED.
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SAM
WHEREAS THE USERS’ SETTING REMAIN UNTOUCHED.
THUS THE USERS’ PASSWORD IS RESET TO NULL VALUE.
METHOD 4:-FOR XP ONLY.
BOOT THE COMP IN SAFE MODE.
DISABLE PASSWORD.
METHOD 5:-FOR (XP, VISTA, WINDOWS7).
BOOT YOUR COMPUTER FROM A LIVE LINUX CD OR DVD WHICH HAS AN NTFS/HPFS FILE-SYSTEM SUPPORT.
THEN MOUNT THE DRIVE WHICH HAS WINDOWS COPY INSTALLED ON IT. COPY THE SAM FILE ON THE LOCATION
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SAM
WHICH WILL BE MENTIONED AS /MEDIA/DISK-1/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/CONFIG/SAM
IT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT SAM FILE CAN BE VIEWED THROUGH NORMAL TEXT EDITOR, SAM FILE ISNT A NORMAL TEXT FILE.
GNOME, KDE OR VIM TEXT EDITORS WON’T DISPLAY THE CONTENT OF THIS FILE
OPEN THE FILE USING EMACS EDITOR (AVAILABLE IN NEARLY ALL THE DISTRIBUTIONS OF LIVE LINUX). IT WILL BE HARD TO FIND THE THE PASSWORD HASHES, SO GO FOR THE USER-NAMES WHICH ARE NOT ENCRYPTED, JUST AFTER THE USER-NAMES PASSWORDS’ HASHES CAN BE FOUND OUT, COPY THE CODE BETWEEN “%” SIGN AND ON THE THE GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE RAINBOW TABLES, THEY WILL PROVIDE THE DECRYPTED VALUE WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN BRUTE-FORCED EARLIER. THIS IS ISN’T A SURE SHOT METHOD, AS THE RAINBOW PROJECT IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT. THE PASSWORD CAN BE SET TO NULL BY DELETING THE CONTENT, BUT THIS MIGHT RESULT IN THE CORRUPTION OF THE SAM FILE, AND RECOVERY IS THE ONLY OPTION LEFT AFTER IT.
LIMITATIONS: THIS METHOD CAN CORRUPT YOUR SAM FILE, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A REPAIR OF WINDOWS XP, AND YOU CAN RISK YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH THAT.
