Hack Windows XP/7/8 admin password easily without any software Hello guys. Heres a new 100% working trick to hack windows password . I know theres a lot of softwares out there to get it done . But thats not geeky & also not time consuming . The real fun is when you can hack this manually within just a few minuets . So here are the steps to do it. Required things: 1) Windows 98 bootable USB drive ( We will learn to make it as we proceed) . 2) Basic knowledge of DOS commands . 3) Basic knowledge of how to boot your PC from a USB drive . Theory: Now you may wanna know the theory behind this hack . So heres how we do it . In windows we can change the password of the PC with command prompt very easily . with the command line net user username password . (replace username & password with the credentials you want ) . But this can be possible only if you have admin access to the command prompt . A command prompt with admin access is called elevated command prompt . When you simply open a command prompt window it brings you to the C:\users \username directory . But in an elevated command prompt you are brought to the C: \windows\system32 directory . So if we can start an elevated command prompt window in the windows login screen, then we can run the above said command and change the password to what we want . So the main problem is how can we do this . There are some programs which we can run directly from the login screen. These are our keys to hack a windows password . The programs are: 1) sethc.exe ( windows xp , windows vista ) 2) narrator.exe ( windows 7 , 8 ) 3) magnify.exe ( windows 7 ,8 ) There are more but these will be enough for us . In windows 7 & 8 we can access them by clicking on the Easy of Access button in the login screen & then selecting narrator or magnifier then apply & then OK All these files are stored in the C:\windows \system32 folder . And also the file for command prompt is stored in this folder ( named cmd.exe ). So if we can replace one of those above mentioned files with cmd.exe & then if we start those programs in login screen, we can get an elevated command prompt & then type the net user command to change the password & we can gain access to the system . Now the question is how to replace those files with command prompt when we have no access to the system ? The answer is by using a live OS which we can boot from an external USB drive & then accessing the file system through it. Most people will suggest you to use a Ubuntu live CD . But Ubuntu is near about 800 MB in size . So Ill suggest you to use MS-DOS 98 with an external usb drive which is 3 MB in size . Now here are the steps to make a Bootable MS-DOS 98 usb drive: 1) Download DOS 98 from the link given below . 2) Download HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool form the below link . 3) Unzip & install the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool . 4) Unzip DOS 98.zip and extract the folders ms- dos & ntfs dos . Remember the location . 5) Plug in your USB drive ( pen drive ) in your pc . ( make sure you backed up your contents of the pen drive, because your pen drive will be formatted . ) 6) Now run HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool . ( in windows 7 right click on it & run as administrator ). 7) Now on the device window select your pen drive . In my case its kimgston data travelar... . 8)now in the file system select FAT . & tick both quick format & Create a dos startup disk . 9) now click on the 3 dots next to the box & select the ms-dos folder you extracted earlier . & press ok . 10) Now press start . Let the process complete . 11) Now copy the contents of NTFS folder in your pen drive . Thats it . Now your bootable USB pen drive is ready . Now here comes the main part. Booting the target PC with this pen drive: Switch on the target pc with the pen drive pluged in . And wait until a black ( sometime blue ) screen appears . There you will see some options like ** to enter setup , ** boot menu etc . In my case its like F10 - to enter setup , Esc - Boot menu . Press the button which says Boot menu ( in my ps its Escape button ) & select the pen drive from the list of available devices. Now you should see the dos window . *Check your PCs BIOS manual for more info on accessing boot menu. Some PCs dont have the Boot menu . In such cases you need to Enter Bios setup by pressing the particular key ( in my case its F10 ) & then change the boot device order as Removable media in the first place . **To know more about how to change boot order of a PC follow these links or refer to the BIOS manual. lifehacker/5991848/how-to-boot-from- a-cd-or-usb-drive-on-any-pc pcsupport.about/od/fixtheproblem/ss/ bootorderchange.htm Real Hacking Begins Here: If you booted correctly from the usb drive, you should now see the dos prompt. something like this with the C:\ prompt . Now the first thing to do is to find out the windows instalation directory . For this just change the drives serially , check for the windows directory in that drive with dir command . Your commands should look like this: C:\> D: (press enter) --------- Changes the prompt to drive D. D:\> dir (press enter) --------- Lists all the files and folders in the drive D . D:\> some results with files & folders. -------- Search for the windows folder here. You should probably find it here in the drive D . If not then change the dir again to E . D:\> E: (press enter) --------- Changes the prompt to drive E. E:\> dir (press enter) --------- Lists all the files and folders in the drive E. E:\> some results with files & folders -------- Search for the windows folder here. If not found repeat the process with F , G , H , drives serially untill you get the windows folder . In the below image the windows folder is in C drive . We get the below result after executing the following command . C:\> dir (press enter ) Now suppose you get the windows folder in D: drive . You should return on the D:\> prompt automatically . Now type the command cd windows\system32 (press enter). You should now see D:\windows\system32> on the prompt . Now type the following commands exactly as they are. copy narrator.exe c: ( press enter ) copy cmd.exe c: (press enter) del narrator.exe (press enter) ren cmd.exe narrator.exe (press enter) This should look like this. Thus we replaced the narrator.exe file with cmd.exe . Now whenever we start the narrator process we will get the Elevated Command Prompt . Changing The Password: Now restart your PC normally . without the pen drive plugged in . Now when you are on the login screen . Click on Easy of access on the left bottom corner . And tick the narrator > Apply > OK . In no time youll get a command prompt window . Like DOS . Now type in the command net user your_username your_new_password . Suppose the user name is computer , then type net user computer 12345 (enter) . And the new password will be 12345 . Now close the command prompt & enter your new password in the box & go . Bingo ! now you have access to the system . ***Note In windows xp theres no easy of access button so you have to change the commands a little . copy sethc.exe c: ( press enter ) copy cmd.exe c: (press enter) del sethc.exe (press enter) ren cmd.exe sethc.exe (press enter) And then on the login screen press shift key five times in a row & the command prompt will appear . Least of tutorial is same for windows xp . If i was not clear at any point please let me know to help you out in the comments section. This hack was successfully tested on win 7 & 8 . But i hope the above said WIN XP hack will also work . Let me know if it works. Im posting this tutorial only for the password recovery purpose in case you forgot your windows password .
