Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Windows XP password fux

So I've got a laptop that apparently used to be a company work computer and is password protected as such. I have no idea of the password and cannot seem to get through in safe mode or as 'administrator' (Yes, I suck at computers), and I've done some googling and all of it seems to be based around getting by the login screen in the first place.

I know this is probably not that hard but can anybody tell me how to (short of re-writing the hard drive) get by the password??

EDIT: Shit yeah this should probably be in T&T eh? Lil' help plz??

No, this should NOT be in T&T.

This is the right forum for hacking into the box. First thing's first -- use another machine to download the Ophcrack LiveCD. There should be instructions how to use it -- it breaks Windows passwords rather quickly.

If you don't want to do that but have a CD or floppy disk available, there's http://www.loginrecovery.com/ -- their free service promises to crack more than 98% of Windows passwords within 2 days, and within a couple hours if you're willing to pay.

There's a couple options; I'm sure some more will be mentioned.

Wrote a tutorial for this in the sticky.

Gotta love ophcrack.
