liquid nitrogen
tongs

Remove the hard drive from the computer. Dip for a few seconds - using the tongs - in liquid nitrogen. Drop from a third floor window or roof.
Password removed.

by jdclyde

in liquid nitrogen be dropped?

Let me assure you, just dropping it on the floor will have spectacular results. B-)

I saw a Banana submerged in Liquid Nitrogen and then dropped. We where picking up bits of Banana for weeks after that. After that I was told that they used a Rose to do the same demonstration with because it made less of a mess.

After I escaped school I had a few times where we where using Liquid Nitrogen and had a play with it 8 inch floppies looked spectacular when dropped. :D

I'll not make any mention of Metallic objects. :)

if he submerges his head in the liquid nitrogen for 30 seconds, it all becomes clear -- he will be able to read the computers mind.
However, if this is untrue, he needs to adjust and shake the 'mind ability' loose. All he needs to do is use a hammer (lightly) and 'rap' the top of his head a few times.

Simply don't forget your password, i have to remember many passwords for many systems i never forget.

Or if you do forget, forget that you forgot and get over it :p

...please continue to the end of the thread. It just keeps getting more and more "helpful"!

works just fine, but its expensive. I prefer to manually retreive it from the MBR of the HD. Remove the boot drive from the computer. Carefully remove hex screws holding the case closed. Next you will need a magnetized USB input device, which can be made quite easily. Find a USB cable and clip off one end to expose bare wire. Solder the red green, and black wire to a steel magnet. (It needs to be steel or the solder wont hold well.) Okay, back to the open HD. Carefully remove the top platter. Plug your USB cable into a laptop, open hyperterm, point it to the ipadress 127.0.0.1 (loopback) and set it to 8 1 8 none. Now run the magnet along JUST the inner ring of the lower platter, you should see some binary code being read into hyper term, if you dont, move to the middle of the platter. Once you have the code, carefully put the disk back together, put it back in your machine. Now, in hyperterm, highlight the binary code, right click and select "Convert To Human Readable". You should see your password in the text in the form pWu:admin=.

Hope this helps.

(For a Honda vehicle)

Find the two mileage sensors located under the carpet on the drivers and passengers carpet.

Their wires are bright yellow, so you can spot them easier. With the ignition on, short the pair of yellow wires on the driver side at the same time as the passenger side. Be sure to duck, and you will see the odometer go back 10,000 miles.

Ignore the slight burning-percholorate smell and the talcum powder..they are harmless. Tuck your new cloth steering wheel cover back into the steering wheel, and the new dash cover back into the new hole above the glove compartment.

It's actually much better to ladle in Foundation Powder and thickly spread this over the Platters.

When you go near the Platters with the Magnet the Foundation Powder reacts like Iron Filings and you can read the Password in it's Hex format. The Foundation Powder is nondestructive to HDD's so you don't need to remove it just close up the drive and replace in the computer to use when you have decoded the Password.

can become whatever I want it to be.

So..here it goes.

Had a call that payroll couldn't process this morning. Me and the other programmer banged our heads against the wall for an hour and half before figuring out the solution to a very bizarre problem. (Turns out it was nothing).

Hit a pot hole and bent the rim on my tire. So, there goes a wad of cash.

Got dropped off this morning and left my coffee in the car and had to drink the swill here at work.

I have a headache.

Rebuilt our test environment (with the help of our vendor) on Monday and restored OLD data, so now I have to redo the whole &$#&ing thing.

Can't go out to lunch because I have to wait for this process to complete.

I STILL have a headache.

okay. I'm done bitching now. For a few minutes at least.

by robo_dev

into the payroll software?

You know, the code that wire transfers an extra 10 grand every month into that bank account in the Cayman islands?

Mine is working great so far...:)

by maecuff

I don't have that routine. But it sounds like a good one.

Maybe I could just go the Caymans and visit YOUR money?

by jdclyde

Here in Michigan, if improper road conditions cause damage to your vehicle, you can get the state to pay for the damage because it is THEIR JOB to keep the roads up.

The exception is, the condition has to have been reported at least one week prior to give them a reasonable amount of time to fix the problem.

Worth checking into.

I had a flat tire over the weekend. :( Turns out it was a bad valve stem. X-(

No headache for me. Maybe you and Shell have the same thing?

Tonight is dart night. Woo Woo! Second night of the league, and feeling hopeful to do better this season. Tired of 3rd out of 8 teams. Shoulder is killing me, so chewing on pain killers. IF I can get the ache to go away, I should do well tonight. If not, I will have to drink extra..... ;\

by maecuff

Have fun tonite..and do I have to tell you to be careful mixing alcohol and painkillers??? You don't want your liver jumping out of your body ready to kick your ass, do you?

by gsg

I have a cold.

I have a bad headache.

My shoulder hurts. I slept on it wrong, and separated it in my sleep.

I'm sitting in a room with 12 other people doing "integrated testing" and one of the people is going to be biatch slapped, and I'm the biatch that's going to do it. Just shut up and do what you need to do and it will go faster.

Tomorrow is to be near 70 degrees, but then it is to start snowing on Sunday with an Ice Storm on Monday.

I slept 2 hours last night.

My Diet Dr. Pepper is warm.

My nose itches.

I think I've covered just about everything.

by jdclyde

Either you had a bad shoulder to start with, our you are one hell of a bed flipper! :0

by shellbot

Must be a sale on headaches...

I've still got mine.. I'll trade it to you for that warm dr pepper

by Member 25348569

I'm so overwhelmed that I don't know what to say. I'm not laughing about the headache or the cash that you've got to spend - that would be just mean - but the rest, especially the old data restoration...

Thank you.

:D

by maecuff

That's fixed now. Except the stupid tool who ran the process neglected to properly back up some security files, so I had to add a bunch of records in manually.

by jdclyde

so most of it will be "processed" by the time it is go time. :D

More anti-inflammatories than actual pain killers. Most of the GOOD pain killers are to addictive for me to want to deal with. Will live with the pain.

Not to mention, because I have to get up at 6am and drive an hour to work, I never have more than a few pitchers of beer. B-)

by maecuff

I've had the GOOD pain killers from time to time. And while it's been because I was in PAIN, there is always a small part of me doing a happy dance.

Good thing I don't get hurt often.

by the scummy one

if it was his password to begin with. However the hypmotist may be able to 'grant' the ability to talk to the computer

by jdclyde

the more you drink, the less you notice/care how you bowl? :D

I can't shoot pool sober, but will smoke you after a few rounds.

The reason? What state are you in when you do the activity? If you are always buzzed when you play/practice, it only makes sense..... ;\

My bowling days are long gone. Shoulder just can't handle it anymore. Years of working on a drill press, wore the joint out, gawd, over 15 years ago. :(

by magic8ball

I havent played pool in quite a while but enjoy playing it. I bowl the same whether buzzed or sober. A friend of mine has the same shoulder issues that you have after he worked in a machine shop for several years. That kind of labor does harsh things to joints as you well know.

by jdclyde

he tried an anti-inflamitory regiment to see if it was just an irritation, but I knew that wouldn't do it, and sucks to have been right.

I will NOT do the cortisone shots because they only last a few years and tear the joint apart.

I guess there is a new treatment where they REcoat the joint. Not sure if that will work for me or not.

by maecuff

I'm older than you and I can still bowl. The aging process must be a lot more difficult for you than it is me.

by dmambo

I was so proud of this from the last PW hack thread, I think I'll post it again.....

My nephew's Dell Latitude D500 power connection wouldn't work and I said I would take a look at it. At one point, I wiggled the power supply cord a bit and the battery charge indicator came on, but when I let go, it went out and I couldn't duplicate that wiggle. I pulled the mobo and stripped it down to nothing. I had the electronics guy here at work check it out under his microscope and reflow the solder that he said looked a little cracked. Anyway, to make a long story short, it didn't help.

I researched the issue on Dell's forums. I found that it's a fairly common problem on D500's. One person actually got Dell to send him a new power connection assembly under warranty, but said that he couldn't find a shop that would pull the old one from his board and solder in the new one. Anyway, to make a long story short, Dell's forum had several pissed off users, but no solution.

I told my sister-in law (nephew's mom) about all this. She thanked me for all the time I spent and then told me that she was a little pissed at my brother for buying a crappy used laptop in the first place. She told him just to get the kid a new one a year earlier when he went off to college. My brother does very well and and it's not like the money's an issue. This was all around the end of November. Anyway, to make a long story short, she said that she was going to get the kid a new machine for Christmas and I gave her a couple of contacts for the vendors we use here.

So, the question came up about what to do with the old D500. It worked fine with a charged battery, but unless you wanted to swap batteries every couple of hours, it was kind of useless. I figured it would work fine if it was docked because the power would be fed through the docking port. My nephew didn't want to use a lame docked laptop and knew he'd get a new one for Christmas. Also, he kept all his important stuff on his school's servers, so as far as he was concerned, he could use a school machine for the last 3 weeks before Christmas break. My brother had no use for a perma-docked PC and didn't want to spring for the $400 for a refurbished mobo from Dell or some lesser amount for a non-guaranteed board from e-bay or something. Anyway, to make a long story short, he asked me if I wanted the thing.

So, I said I'd take it because, as is well know in the forum, I'm a cheap SOB. Eventually, while I was cleaning up at work, I came across an old Dell docking station. We just moved from Dell to HP as corporate supplier for desktops/laptops and I would have chucked the port replicator, but I thought "hey, this sucker would work with that D500 and my kid would be happy with it". I slapped that thing into the dock and fired her up. Powered up just fine. But by this time my nephew was back at school. How could I log into this thing without reinstalling Windows??? It's not like I even had the disk or anything. So I figured I'd just have to crack the admin PW. Anyway, to make a long story short, that's what I did. It's really not that difficult.

by melissab

Ask it the same question over and over again for days on end. Do not let it sleep. Keep a cattle prod or tazer handy if it tries to sleep. Keep asking. This may take some time but it is sure to break that damned password and trust me...it will spill its guts!

by gsg

I had trouble sleeping so was flopping around, but I've also had a surgery called a "Mumford and Decompression". I had to have the end of my collar bone removed due to bone spurs, had my shoulder decompressed, and they used what I call surgical super glue on my rotator cuff as it was starting to tear.

Now, I can separate my shoulder just by coughing or sneezing. It does NOT feel good.

While true it does however make it far easier to get out of Straight Jackets. Which is a [b]Must[/b] when you work IT. :0

Col ]:)

by gsg

Now why would I want out of the straight jacket. It's safe and warm, and when I'm in it, I can talk to my invisible elephant friend named Roger and no one will bother me.

by gsg

I have my gumball machine out and I'm shaking out some ibuprofen for you. Take 3 of these with something caffeinated. Next, put an icepack on your forehead and a heating pad on the back of your head and neck.

If that doesn't work, then drink three shots of rotgut and go to bed.

Are giving you the expensive ways of doing this just go here and listen to the contents of this web site it will explain everything easily in Nontechnical Terms that anyone can follow.

Can't beleave I missed the party on this one!

So why is it all these posts are from Hyderbad, India?

by jdclyde

the instructor took the rubber bulb from an eye dropper and threw it across the room. Great fun as it bounced all around.

He then dipped on in the liq nit, and threw THAT on the floor. It sounded like glass breaking as it shattered into a few million pieces...

cooooooool! B-)

by maecuff

It's a pass o ward. Which, of course, we all know is the tradition of passing your ward around. The wards generally don't like it, but it IS a rite of passage.

by maecuff

Someone suggested using a Neti Pot for my headache since it's definitely sinus related. Anyway, I woke up this morning and my headache was as bad as it was yesterday. I used the Neti Pot and it reduced the headache by over half immediately.

by gsg

I tried one of those things and almost drowned myself.

If anyone could do it, I could!

by maecuff

and you have to tilt your head waaaay forward. I actually have a different brand, its a squeeze bottle with a wide, round tip that you put snugly against your nostrils. I would think this version would be easier to handle than the tea pot thingy. The brand I have is NeilMed.

And yes, it feels very very wrong. And it took a while for anything to come out the other side. Oh, and if you squeeze too hard it comes out of your mouth. Blech.

But still..it really worked on the headache. I was willing to try just about anything to get some relief.

by shellbot

geez...
the images..

think i'll hold off.. i'd want to be WAY pasy my pain threshold before I tried that!!!!

by jdclyde

Didn't like the idea of the squeeze bottle, but same brand.

The main thing, you have to remember to tilt your head way forward, then way back a few times afterwards to get everything out..... ;\

This still makes me laugh. (same link as posted about neti pot)
