How to hack a windows password...

[Eol]

Greetings mortals! This is how...

First when u are in windows, select Start / Run. Type cmd. ENTER. Type net user. ENTER. It shows the list of all users o the computer, select the user you want to change the password for and type net user "user name"* . ENTER. It should now move down a line and say type a password for this user. So type it. It will not show what you type, so type carefully. ENTER. Type it again. ENTER. It should say the command completed successfully.

don't you need administrative rights of some kind to make the change? I just tried it on an XP system and it only shows more info about the specific user without the option to change password

Yes if you don't have elevated access rights you cannot change the password for a local user or domain user. There are ways however to very easily elevate access rights within WinXP.

That's what I suspected I just wanted to make sure as it wasn't expressly stated. Off and running.

Well this is sort of the basic thing you just know if you have a bit windows experience. Already having admin access is routine. No offence but id at least expect guides to things that isnt somthing 10 year old kids would know.

Oh yeah.. almost forgot.. Exactly what part of this qualifies this as "hacking" ?? as the title say..

If you already got the admin rights and are logged in.. why not use the gui and change the password like everyone else ?

1: You have full access to all the files on the computer anyway.. why reset it ??
2: If the files of another user is encrypted you wont get them by resetting their password. It will merely delete the files.
3: This has nada to do with hacking the xp password. At least post a guide to get the original password or as a MINIMUM how to do it while NOT logged in as admin.. which still is kids stuff with the nt password reset bootcd..

AGREED. I think I have a real dilemma in my post about how john the ripper didn't work. Cracking a domain password that is stored on the local machine.....

Slick little video. Need to note though that unless you have actually replaced utilmon.exe with your own app to open cmd this will just bring up disability support tools.
