Forums / The hangaround / Obtaining PC Account Passwords

right, well problem is my sister created an Admin account where she has total control over the computer. She set a password for the login and now im stuck to her regulations on computer consumption :P. So is there a way to find out what hte pass is or something? i know there is something to do w/ IE7 where you can see all passwords used, can yall post how here thanks... my times up :) id do it myself but im limited :) help a fishy out eh? ;)

Why try to fix the problem when you can go around it?

I would blow the computer with the operating system disc, and set my own admin password to be in control... Whats hindering you from doing that?

Take a few important cables of the pc she can't easily replace and offer a Trade.

indeed, i know that one trainreq :P but problem is that im denied that access since im not an admin :P hahah ... so another solution must be taken. Tho i will try that the second im alone with the computer w/ her account ^^ haha

Salamon, restart the PC and hit F8 and go into safe mode. Log in under admin which usually has no password. Go to the user settings in the control panel and change your status to an admin.Then restart the PC normally.

i tried the net user <username> *
first it wont let me type but i can click enter 2x and then says Error 5. Anyone know whats up? thanks ill try when i get back in a few hrs :P

on the screen where it shows the different accounts to login put in ctrl/alt/f4 or ctrl/alt/delete... i cant remember which, if all accounts on the computer are logged off it should go to another screen where you can type in the user name and password, for the user name type in "administrator" and for the password leave it blank and hit enter, this SHOULD log you in as an administrator and you can go to control panel and delete and change passwords for user accounts as you see fit. if the blank password doesnt work try using "administrator" for the password aswell as the user name. for most windows xp systems this little trick will work because whoever installed windows never bothered to change the administrator password... if you need more detailed instructions get at me on msn or message me but i think i explained it well enough for you to figure out.
(note): all users must be logged off for this to work
(note2): anyone who says that im wrong for telling him to ctrl/alt/delete or ctrl/alt/f4 is dumb and doesnt know what there talking about

imma try that mpesh, i have vista so wish me luck... erm im trying this
net user but wont let me type -.- at all i can only hit enter :P inno explained this up there but i dont whats the problem. I also get System Error 5 when i just keep hitting enter, and then says Access denied :P.

I tried control userpasswords2, i couldnt reset it because i dont know her password :P and you need it to do so -.- but i was able to create an ADMIN account :P which i did :P so hopefully it works :P

Tell mom! :O

iv got the same problem and iv tried all ur suggestions except dark overlords wish me luck

get a keylogger

      A keylogger should work most easily,  though I can't back up the above software since I've never needed it (I have full control over my computer).  Or watch carefully and wait until she goes away from the computer for a bit, jump on and give yourself admin privileges. After you've got admin privileges, seek revenge, I recommend giving her an extremely annoying fake virus, or impersonating her online (if she's into the messenger thing and all that).  good luck

 

lol nothing worked :(

aint got flash on my account and i cant download because i dont have admin powers

That's why I say; buy apple!

Try holding a knife to her throat...if that doesn't work then you could try slamming her head into a wall until she tells you. Then when she tells you, cut her throat and frame pedobear...

*gets strange looks*

I prefer septims idea =)
