Solve : Password breaking? |
|
Answer» my friend had a computer and using windows 98. he had set a password to the system. How can he open his computer if he FORGOT his password?Windows 98 passwords are very weak. Rather than typing in a password to log on, you can just hit 'ESC' and bypass the logon SCREEN. Your friend can then delete and recreate the user as he wishes.Ok, to get rid of a windows 98 password. Load up. Logon, press esc. Goto C:\WINDOWS then delete UserName.pwl (where UserName is the name of the user) When relogging on, windows will ask for a new pass, Since win98 security is super bad, just hit cancle to set no passwordOr just hit enter.I knew Windows wasn't exactly popular for it's security, but that is just horrible. Win9x has no inbuilt security and Win NT/XP is little more than cosmetic.Tell me about it. Less than a minute with an NT/XP machine and your logon password is gone. Can be useful- when some wise kids decide to change the local ADMIN password to something unknown. (Dells at school- all had the same local admin password... it got LEAKED).Which is why all my important documents are password-locked. (XP SP2) |
