Hello, This is my first post here! My name is Aaron. This site is really great! Ok enough with the blabbing.

My question is, I was wondering if there is a way to get pass the Log-in screen on Windows XP. In other words, when you boot up, the log in screen appears. Is there any way to crack the password or just simply by-pass the login screen and have admin capabilities? I have heard of different ways on Windows 98 and stuff, but none for XP. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!


Best Regards,

AARON

try this

as it boots hit F8 to boot in to safe mode...now providing the owner has not setup a password for the default admin account on installation..you can login and create an account

you should see 2 accounts (ie)

Admininstrator login ... default
owner login .....passworded

Hey Dude theres a few ways around it , the easiest way and only way I feal like explaining , (I dont have 2 hours) if to get a password recovery boot disk just google it .. It will take the hashes show the accounts and from there you can give the Administrator account a new pass.. That account is the best to reset if on another persons computer solely because its the one rarely used and usually doesnt show up on the XP log in .. After you reset the password at the log in screen hit CTRL + ALT +DEL a couple times youll get a different log in screen Type in the Username and the new password and away you go

Actually heres a link too one Ive used in the past


http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ seemed to work well, but then again everything can and will screw up at one point..

Thanks alot man., I will give it a try. I'll let you know if it works.

no prob man lol hit the right keys and it will work

Windows XP boot disk into recovery console works with win2k as well

might be far off from whut you're asking but if you just want to elevate your privilege... pipeupadmin might help...

there was a trick i use to use at skool.
not sure this is very relavant to the topic but ill tell ya anyway.

when on a skool network unplug the network cable from the back of your
workstation. at the login screen delete the text next to domain
and leave username and password blank and hit cancel.
this way the computer doesnt validate on the network.
then when u want to surf the net plug it back in and goto IE.
its good 4 getting around download limits and lets ya look at Pawn and stuff.


Peace

If You continue too read and you follow the link below, You will realize that I am not talkign about a recovery disk made by Windows for those shitty moments, read a little farther and comment again

Thanks for all your replies!! I learned alot. I do have another question, and sorry if their is another topic about this. Is there a way to diable "FoolProof"? I am not sure of the version number etc. I belive it's on Windows 98 or 2000, I know it's a big difference, but that's all the info I can get. My teacher was asking if anyone thought they could get into blocked files/programs. After class I told my teacher I might be able to access some blocked stuff, she said I could try anything I wanted. Then I tried and I was able to get into cmd.exe [MS-DOS], but once in there, you can't type I was upest and embaressed. lol. So now I'm determined to show her something I can do on the school computers. This is all with her permission BTW. Anyways, thanks alot. and hope to get some more respones from you. Just in case you forgot the question after all of that.............

Is there any possible way to disable the program "FoolProof"???

Thanks!

Regards,

Aaron

LOL ....ok i gotcha

your or (where) hacking your school computer..only we dont know that lol

you have got past the login... with the advice from above

But cannot run anything

we 'ooppps' you have to bypass FoolProof...for you

thus you gaining a rep in school as a cool hacker

and with your teachers blessing 'what a girl'....

neat.... i like it 10/10

Yeah to bypass fool proof you can boot into a cmd promp , edit win.ini usually a section in there to load it delete that crap usually all is well after ..

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Actually before you realize Im probably wrong I'll say it first..lol Win.ini if yah can if not the original disk I gave yah the link too has a reg edit before windows on it yah can run you can rip that bad boy right out if it comes down too it

The first thing you should do is download and install FoolProof on your own home computer to become thoroughly familiar with the program. You can download it here:

FoolProof Downloads
http://www.smartstuff.com/downloads/fps/index.html

You will need two codes: an unzip code, and an Install Code. Can't post them here.

I hacked FoolProof about a year ago. It's not that hard, unless the person who installed it hardened the default settings. I used the ECHO command once to overwrite the FoolProof exe file, and it worked. But it really depends on the individual settings. You want to try and copy the settings files and install them on your own home installation of FoolProof in order to know what you're up against. These are the settings files:

Basic Settings are located in c:\sss\local\basic.lfl
Other settings files seem to be located in c:\sss\local\00000000.lfl
c:\sss\local\00000001.lfl, etc., and c:\sss\defs\resource.lfl

Since you know the password on your own version of FoolProof you could substitute the settings files from your school's installation of FoolProof, plug them in to your own installation and open up the FoolProof control panel and see what settings are in place. And what is NOT restricted too. The trial version of FoolProof is fully-functional.

The password file is c:\sss\local\fp.db. You might try and substitute your own password file onto your school's computer (using the password file from your own installation of FoolProof). Then you could open up FoolProof Control Panel and turn it off. Try copying it from a floppy disk (or download from your email) to c:\sss\local to see if it will let you replace it. If you just delete the password file it does you no good, since you still cannot open the FoolProof Control Panel. A message just pops up saying "Database not found."

You can use Process Explorer to kill the two FoolProof processes:
fpwinldr.exe 32-bit shell hook loader
fpwldr16.exe 16-bit shell hook loader
The fpwldr16.exe you may have to be patient with. It takes 40 seconds or so before it dies. Do it twice if you have to.

But you will still need to edit c:\config.sys and delete the following line: DEVICE=C:\SSS\FOOLDRV.SYS

Also, another powerful hack on Windows 95/98 is using a wininit.ini file (a simple text file you can create with Notepad) to delete all the FoolProof files. You'll need to use syntax like the following:

[Rename]
NUL=C:\sss\shlhkw16.dll

Save it as wininit.ini in the Windows directory. Wininit.exe executes this file before most everything else loads. It is used to delete files in use. Include the line above too, because shlhkw16.dll is the only file I was not able to delete because it was "in use". wininit.ini will delete it on the next reboot.

Download the Manual
http://www.smartstuff.com/downloads/fps/index.html

Using Process Explorer and wininit.ini and deleting pointers in special boot files like config.sys, autexec.bat, winboot.ini you can hack most all Windows 95/98 security programs.

Process Explorer
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware...e/procexp.shtml

FoolProof Downloads
http://www.smartstuff.com/downloads/fps/index.html

The syntax for the wininit.ini is as follows. One NUL line for each file to delete. Create it in Notepad and save it as wininit.ini in the windows directory. Then restart the computer.

[Rename]
NUL=C:\sss\shlhkw16.dll

Kill that puppy!!

Aaron, I sent you an email here on this system too. Check it.

williamtell323, thank you so much! You would not belive how much I appreciate a response like that. I will reply to you through the e-mail, so we can talk.

Aaron

if your on 98 or 2000
hit F8 on bootup then if you dont mind f*(&ing the computer a bit
then delete the win.ini and autoexec.bat from your c: drive.
then try the trick i talked about earlier.
unplug the cable then login. you would have FULL access then.

OR

download "cain" and get the admin username/password for that computer
that way you can just uninstall that programe your tAlking about.

Goodluck
Peace

hey guys.. first post... i tried the programs that you guys put links to and they dont work.. i have xp and i tried the things they gave for xp... but nothin seemed to work... plz help!

Hwy wait yes they do work ...use the password reset bootdisk all the time. try again

im such a newb... us that just another cd? or is it on the original windows xp cd?

What do u want guys?.. You want to reset the Admin password and you have the full local access to the XP machine.. Why can't you think of the LINUX boot disk to reset Admin password and get in to it?. I had posted the CD image for making that disk in this forum.. Search for it.. Pretty cool, nothing to worry... Then, I think I don't need to teach u how to make a bootable disk from Cd image, Well, use Easy Cd creator or Nero, Striaght forwad thing..............

Boot with this Cd and reset the Admin or any user password... Cool........

I should add the CD image once again here, I guess.. Here we go..!!

don't hack your school's computer but your girlfriends computer and perhaps you'll discover things you've never have know. put a keylogger, msn logger, remote desktop prog, ftp , etc
Really, believe me, it helped me to discover a lot of things about her I didn't know

Johny, before doing all those stuffs, try to check ur PC first, whether there are no keyloggers or other (filtered) stuffs installed... ... Lollllllllll..

I got a stripped down knoppix on a floppy disk, wouldnt be without it!!
