We prefer "upholding the highest professional ethics" or some other lofty sounding BS phrase.
Welcome aboard, and thanks for not asking a hacking question on your first post. It's astonishing how often that happens. If you're at all interested in hang out here for long, be sure to update your profile. It lets other members know your background so we know how much detail we need to go into. Doing so also sends the message that you're at least half serious about participating here. A new member with something in their profile is more highly regarded than one with nothing.

A password is a security feature to protect data/accounts. It is set on an operating system user, to protect that users data from others.
Passwords can also be set on files in many programs. These are in place to keep people from seeing the data inside of the file, except for those who have the password.
Passwords are a pretty weak form of securiy overall, but they are effective most of the time.
Bad passwords can be a problem, same with easy passwords. An alphanumeric password is much stronger, and password length can add more security as well.
to break a password, it is easiest to ask the person who created the password, what it is. Once you have the password it should work just fine until it is either changed, or the password becomes corrupt in some form.
Breaking a password can be quite easy with the right knowledge, and can be done in several fashions, dependin gon the amount of damage you are looking to do. Since you are looking at the Windows Password, it seems that you want to go right to it.
At the ctrl -- alt -- del screen, press the buttons at the same time. Then type in the password for the user account that you are trying to access. If it does not work, take a flathead screwdriver and short out the keyboard. After the keyboard is shorted, randomly type several characters (note: it appears that nothing is happening on the screen).
It does not matter which characters, any will do. Next, plunge a phillips scredriver into the side of the case (with the front facing you, it will be on the right side). REMEMBER: it needs to go near the CENTER of the case to work properly. Also, this only works on desktop systems. For a notebook, you need to use a tazer directly on the motherboard after removing the keypad.
For an added feature, you should call the manufacturers helpdesk (even if it is out of warranty) and instruct them about your intent, and everything that you did to resolve he problem.

This person is a novice, so I avoided that part. Going this way will only get the user PW in question (not the admin PW or you would be correct).
And now, you need to tell us Which Brand Duct Tape works best for this feature!

I took the flathead screwdriver and shorted the keyboard, but then couldn't find a phillips, so I used the flathead to plunge into the desktop as well. Unfortunately, I guess it had to be a phillips because the flathead didn't work at all.
In all seriousness, I too have a .doc (2002) that I need to get into because of a case of an ex-employee, but from the sound of things, this isn't the right spot.
Yet, I found this site looking for said hack, and I still might be able to get plenty of other information that I might need as well.
Thank you, and I hope to visit on a more regular basis.

If not, one would miss out on the whole show!!!
But I think that I forgot to mention to use a screwdriver that is UNPROTECTED. After all, we would not want a plastic or rubber handle to get in the way of progress, would we? An all metal screwdriver while following my instructions is the best way to go...

So, you're a transplant; you must get flack then from both sides of the Mason-Dixon.
BTW, no need for "a$$, "@ss" or other substitutes; "ass" seems to be "legal" at TR again.
If you hold your wedding reception at Hooters because your new mother-in-law gets the employee discount.
While I don't have, have never had, and don't plan on having any version of a Confederate flag, I am a NASCAR fan. Remember, there are only two types of people who go to stock car races: Foul-mouth, tattooed, shirtless drunks, and their boyfriends.

You dont french kiss your girlfriend because she will steal your chew....
Wait, I dont think that was one of Jeff's...
Maybe it was a personal observation. Yes, even in Ca, we get rednecks, but usually they do not stay long because they cannot grasp the concept of dating outside of the family!
