How to break password of windows xp administrator and also on screensaver.

.

This person is cheating. I want to cheat now, too! No fair!

There is no site rule that I am aware of which forbids what he did, enforced to the point of official sanction.

Which is not to say there is no rule enforced professionally and individually. In other words, professionals here would personally not get caught dead doing what he just did.

He is of low personal and professional moral.

Is, "vvhore".

as to what was suggested.

Oh well.





They offered a tool that bypasses passwords.

I was just wondering if it was something "new".

Mr. Powers41 doesn't read ...

you're thinking BIOS password when our CaPiTaLIzaTIOnaLLY challenged inquisitor clearly says "Administrator" and "Screen Saver" ... removing the motherboard battery and all power for 5 minutes does nothing to the windows user's password.

the terms of use which states that TR remembers are not to offer assistance/info on how to recover/reset passwords.

Oh well.. not like there isn't billions of links out there on the how to..

and I did look and couldn't find the rule book.. thought maybe it was finally dropped since its a relatively stupid idea ... much like book burning... "oh we don't like that idea, lets burn it" ..

There are possible legal ramifications involved in this. I know it can be easily found on the web but that's really not the point.

The point is that assisting someone in breaking a password could be considered assisting in a crime. It's more a precaution than anything else.

Its called, "Go somewhere else for that."

You have to know that professionals reset passwords in a variety of ways on a regular basis. This isn't some kind of censorship, it is about not having any way to know the bona fides of the person asking the question. In other words, we aren't going to chance assisting thieves and crackers to another person's information.

You are right - there is information all over the place on such things. So, people can easily look elsewhere.

And I still can't understand why signing up to post a comment is easier than doing a web search. I am entirely unable to understand how internet users are incapable of doing a search. Half of them have a search engine as a home page, and can find all sorts of other stuff.

did a repair install which doesn't toast passwords or programs
which a full re-install will do both

If you re-install, it cannot possibly be asking for a password. Must have done a repair.

Re-format the drive and do a clean install. For a really clean install, download & run DBAN on the drive first.
