How to hack a windows account

What I am here to do is give those poor people with a windows account that is less than that of an administrator, (or people that want to just get into other peoples privacy) a chance to really piss somone off. i'm here to say how to hack into a windows account.

Step 1 The beginning

To start off, simply click the start menu, and hit run. Type "cmd" into the run bar. Without the quotes of course.
A windows Dos command prompt window should open up. This can also be done by clicking; start> all programs> Acessories> Command prompt

my computer can't find ("cmd quot)

[blenderogre]

I don't see how someone with the username "13 year old computer geenis" can be so stupid as to spell genius wrong

[rabbitkillrun]

or can't open cmd...

[octavian234]

hahahahahahaha

[mooman911]

this isnt hacking this is just changing the password from the command prompt. its just like going to control pannel and changing the passwords from there. jesus u are sooooo dumb

[dgomme]

whoah man, it IS hacking, ESPECIALLY if theyve blocked control panel :p

[YummyPancakes]

No offensive remarks, please!

[askirata]

Any way to find the password without changing it?

[handerson3]

hey can you make a vid

[the master 2]

when i do this it says:
system error 5 has occurred
access is denied

[dgomme]

yeah, that happens. usually to get cmd you go 2 notepad and type command OR command.com, save as something.bat and run it, and you'll have it. be warned though, other restrictions on the commands you do are still in place.

PS accessing the c drive can b useful, just go into your account, open up whatever file u want, right-click, new, shortcut. Type in C:\ and choose a name. Done. you can also use this for network drives. hope it helped :D

[RedFlash]

One tiny question... What happens when you have finished messing around with their account?

I'm thinking they might go to the IT teacher and kick up a big stink because they can't log into their account

[PJEC]

If you start the pc in safe mode, you can often get access the Local Administrator, and the password for that will either be nothing or "password", unless the IT have been very clever. They then won't know who did it.

[ERHassett]

Mine says "The user name cannot be found. More help available by typing NETMSG 2221"

[junky360]

im working on a batch file for this so you wont need access to a command prompt just open the file and then it will do it all for you.

@echo off
start cmd.exe

or if cmd is locked

start command.com

Save as something.bat

[anubis221]

It don't work on a network. If the admins r smart. I tried 2day.

[Creepy Shamwow]

Good idea. Another way is just to type admin or administrator into the username bar.

D O N T SWEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[runkrocker]

doesnt work it says it cant find it

[Sir Maverick]

I believe it doesn't work if your not a system administrator. That's why you get the "System error 5 has occurred Access is denied" error.

[rabbitkillrun]

that's correct... only an admin can change passwords or create new users etc in command prompt... so really you need a way to run command prompt in the admin account...

[octavian234]

Which kind of makes this useless since why would you mess with an admins account and risk getting your privs taken away if your an admin

[rabbitkillrun]

exactly... there are a lot of instructables similar to this one on here... They are written by stupid teenagers that don't know the first thing about hacking, or user privileges, or even cmd etc...

[Sir Maverick]

I agree...you shouldn't talk about something if you have no idea how it works.

[rabbitkillrun]

but yet, so many people on this site do... in the whole world actually... <_< i was going to write a proper instructable on this subject, but didn't for two reasons... 1) i forgot iw as writing it... lol 2) why would i want to tell these guys how to do it...? i figured it out myself, and learned about the windows OS myself in the process...

[Sir Maverick]

Haha...same...there are too many script kiddies out there...I learned everything I know form google and trial and error...it worked really well.

[rabbitkillrun]

tell me about it... <_< the only way to learn something is to start from the basics... if you're too lazy to do that, then you don't really want to learn to do the hard stuff that much... i hate the script kiddies that start saying they hacked a site etc when they used programs/methods made by others, and give them no credit... i want to slap them silly, and then some... One way to get rid of a script kiddie? Give him a simple batch program that's gonna mess up his comptuer somehow... if he's not a complete script kiddie, they'll relise...

[Sir Maverick]

Yeah..I agree with you 100%. And even making websites...isn't so simple and yet people go download programs to do it for them.

[rabbitkillrun]

the world is full of ignorant people...

[Sir Maverick]

haha...yeah...it is.

[erikals]

*claps with appreciation* Great instructable. I tried this on the server at school while the admin was out at lunch and it worked great. *Applauds with real appreciation* 10/10 for your 'ible

[andre 1156]

This didn't work for me at school and same occurance on my laptop at home (made an extra account for trying this), it has that crap like 'tycrooks69' undeswent

[Carnage]

When i read through this i was thinking "school" :P But unfortuantly my school has blocked you from going start > run or to accsessories. If i opened windows explorer and type "C:\WINDOWS\system32\" do you think it will load? - on school computers?

[andre 1156]

Not sure, but the easiest way to get cmd.exe without administrators permissions is: 1. Open notepad 2. Typer "command.com" 3. Save as "cmd.bat" And there you have your own cmd.exe(well .bat really) on your desktop for accesss when you want it.

[School_ART]

Most school computers block access to windows explorer, however, there is yet another way to access command prompt. This can be done by opening note pad. >START>ALL PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>NOTE PAD Once note pad is open, on the first available line type this exactly: command.com Now, click FILE>SAVE AS. save this doc. as command.bat IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE command.bat AS THE FILE NAME. After you have saved the doc. close out of note pad, and open your doc.s click the gear looking icon and command prompt will run with full access.

[octavian234]

or just command instaed of command.com

[rabbitkillrun]

or just cmd...
