Hack Windows Xp

There are many times that you forget about your computer and then forget the administrator password. Windows XP is not that safe you know, you can easily hack it and get your password. With these methods, hacking password will be like stealing candy from a baby.

It will be good if you note down these steps to hack in a notebook and then try it out. Windows XP can get sensitive at time so its better that you do this properly.

Part 1: Hacking Windows XP in DOS. This hack has 2 parts so you have to execute both of them properly, like a real spy.

Now put your boot disk (the floppy) and go to dos mode. In dos mode type the following:

1. cd\ this will take you to the C: drive if you are already there then don’t bother typing this.
2. cd\ Windows\System32 this takes you to the System32 folder of Windows XP.
3. mkdir backup
4. copy logon.scr backup\logon.scr
5. copy cmd.exe backup\cmd.exe
6. Step 4 and 5 creates a back up, in case you mess up things.
7. del logon.scr
8. rename cmd.exe logon.scr

You must be curious about what we did here. We backed up command prompt and screen saver file and then told windows xp to load unprotected command prompt in place of screen saver file.

Now wait for sometime in Windows XP mode for screen saver mode to come up. Now Part 2.

Part 2: Find out the user name of the admin account, if its admin then here is the command that you have to type in order to hack the account and change the password.

1. net user admin password

Now you have changed the password of admin to password successfully. We can easily undo the effect of the part one hack by copying the files in the backup folder in System32 into the main system32 folder.

But this method does have some limitations such as it cannot be run if its a NTFS type. In my next post I will be showing another method to hack windows xp. If this one didn’t go out that well, that one surely will.

I wanted to post about password cracking of zip files today, the method which you could use in case you lost the password of your zip files or you wanted to be a peeping tom, looking inside your friends files but before that I want to create a large user base for my blog so I will be posting some nice tricks which you can use to enhance your windows xp experience.
