The members of TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover a password. However, we cannot verify your motives and will therefore not assist anyone in what may be an attempt at gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. Due to the open nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that we the members of TechRepublic will not take. Please do not ask questions of this nature on TechRepublic.

If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery issues should be taken up with Microsoft's technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, etc.. To those viewing this post: Please DO NOT respond any further to this thread.

[b]Ask M$ or your System Maker or find the bit of Paper you wrote the Password down on or under go torture till you revile the Password to yourself.[/b]

Would you please post a link to the TR member policy that prohibits us from helping? While your comment is logical, the sarcasm in closing is truly unprofessional.

by thumbsup2

It says the MEMBERS of TR will not help. It says nothing about being a policy of TR.

To put it in simple terms... those of us who answer the questions here will refuse to help anyone crack/hack/bust/steal/recover/remove anything to do with a password.

Although I strongly disagree with the stance you few have in regards to this matter, I'll respect it. The presumption that the OPs motives are malicious just by using the word "hack" is what's not becoming of members with such varid backgrounds and professional experience such as yourself.

dinuiiht@... just google your question....

This is a [b]PUBLIC FORUM[/b] that every boy and his dog is free to read.

So some time after a post is made it is possible to read what was posted and others besides the original Poster have access to that Information. As IT Professionals we would be making our lives much harder if we where to answer questions on how to [b]Crack[/b] Passwords. Besides after you have seen up to 10 of the same question every day it gets tiresome.

By helping you with a Cracking Issue we could inadvertently be helping the person who steals your computer in a few years time.

... if one searches for it.

But, we don't have to make it easy to find.

you say you are in IT, and a manager, but you are dense as all ....
Obviously you suffer from severe issues which would require actual thought patterns. So, why not just decide that you arent getting an answer for it here and stop pushing it!
