For starting, for newbies
Windows NT 5.0 = Windows 2000 (all edition)
Windows NT 5.1 = Windows XP (all edition)
Windows NT 5.2 = Windows 2003 (all edition)
So throughout this post I will refer our target as Windows NT 5.x (as following content are equally applicable to all Windows NT 5.x OS family).
So lets start the fun. You will be surprised to know that you can break into any Windows NT 5.x system without any software tool 80% of the time! So does this mean you can break into 80% of the system only???
No No No, If this would have been true, I'd never posted this. I believe in 100% result. So for 20% system there are another 'n' no. of ways and I'll tell u a bit insecure way later. First lets get to 80% of the vulnerable system.
In Windows NT 5.x, you can create any no. of user with different names & privilege and optionally password.
One such account with highest privilege level, with user name 'Administrator' is setup by default (at par with UNIX/Linux's root account).
At the time of installation Windows NT 5.x prompts for password but many system are setup by vendors and other person.
The user of the system is different than one who installed and these lazy people are always in hurry and SKIP this password window. (Now I feel this is something wrong with Windows. It should be like Linux's installer anaconda who forces you to provide password for 'root' user).
The irony comes next. In final step of installation you create an account. Lock it with password(optionally) and start using the system. Now on welcome screen you see account(s) with different name. But have you ever seen 'Administrator' account name (except you skipped somehow to create another account or booting in safe mode').
Now if u can't see 'Administrator' account on screen, and system is locked against administrator privilege.
You can hit 'CTRL+ALT+DEL' (in Windows XP) to get Authentication window of Windows 2000 style.).
If you still fail to get windowed login screen, boot the computer in safe mode ( It is done by pressing F8 during booting and selecting "Safe Mode" from the menu ).
Once you get dialog box. Enter user name 'Administrator', leave password field blank and hit ENTER to brake into the system!
This is what works 80% of the time (I know its hard to believe but rather simple to TRY IT OUT!!!!).
Now for rest of the 20% system (where 'Administrator' password is not blank). There are literally more than 100's of tool available on Internet and the tool I use, I like, I refer is here.
I don't know its name. I got it from my hacker friend ROGER. I named it WinPass.iso. Its an ISO image and you can download it from megshare where I kept it for downloading! Burn this ISO on a CD' Its bootable image of 2.7 MB.
It has Linux OS with text-mode only. (No Linux Knowledge Require here!!! Great naa'.). After booting from CD' A menu driven program will start with options and their description at each level.
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE GOING AHEAD as any wrong-turn will make the target machine unstable. One mistake may crash the system to the reinstallation phase! So test it first on systems from college, office, etc!
It worked 100% of the time'.As its 3.03 MB (after extracting) you can burn it on a mini-CD and keep it in your wallet all the time, so can roam around having master key to all systems having Windows NT 5.x family OS!!!
You can search on Google for Windows Password Cracking And Hacking Tools and would get plenty of them. Soon I would be posting as in how these softwares work. Njoy !!!
Ready to crack in your friends comp huh ?
