how to crack the admin's password without hacking

In a few short, easy steps, i'll tell you how to crack the password of an admin without hacking and no pictures needed

if she asks a question that doesn't have a word similar to "virus" than abort the plan immediately

NOTE this may work on more than one school computer.

I thought i would do this because that happened to me by coincidence and a comment i posted 1 month after

Step 1 Pull a prank

now, in order to pull this off, we need to trick the teacher with a computer prank.

the prank we will use has been posted so many times that i will give you a link.

after that unlock the taskbar and drag it Down to the bottom

Most Schools with an IT department have a plan in place that if the computer is compromised they receive a service LOG and let IT Staff deal with it while the teacher moves the student to another PC. This stops the password sharing, and allows the teacher to do what he/she is to do (teach), Virus removal can be simple or extensive and teachers are not qualified to do that type of work in the first place. Another tool that is used on some of my systems restores a HD after a special boot sequence so no mater what you do (Virus, FDISK, DOD government wipe disk) the entire drive is restored back to its previous working state. We like that and no passwords are needed to do that, takes 3 minutes to setup. We are promoting this model to many districts around the country.

 Wich stupid teacher give his password to a student?

[penhaifai]

lol..i like that... =D

[freakyqwerty]

you could you into task maneger and stop explorer.exe stops the taskbar

[sniper_lew]

"after that, tell her that the only way to get around the virus is to go on the admin account and then let her give you the password." I see a flaw in your logic, unless your admin knows nothing about computers this isnt gonna work, also I dont think many admins would take advice from a student. Lastly, if you say its a virus, your gonna get detention... the only guaranteed method to gain the admins password without hacking, is to get a job as the admin...

this should be filed under "soical Enginnering"

hahaha
lol
i made that

:D:D:D

the real thing to do is volunteer for community service helping teachers. they actually seem like human beings when they're not in school hours. and are way more prone to tell you something if you act like a good guy. I got the admin pass at my school by pretending to be interested in computers when a tech came after school. he let me help him fix the computers (which involved giving me the password) I don't think he knew that I knew how to use the password. the truth is: adults think kids are stupid. if you act like a stupid kid, people will treat you like one! even if they are half a year older than you! use it to your advantage...

i don't like ageism :(

I would like to see you try and pull this off. Just install a keylogger. You're bound to get the password after a few tries

[dude1236547890]

your STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lamboboy732]

Less of a crack and more of a trick. The only problem is many school computers now don't have direct access to an admin. account unless connected directly to the schools main server.

This reminds me of the program brutus if it takes too long it says "it's better to call the admin and ask for the password" this probably won't work with the sysadmin at a school, because everyone with an internet connection knows this prank. but if your admin's stupid enough, good luck

[coolz]

no,no. you don't ask for the password, you trick the admin into giving you the password through a prank that has been posted 5 times

[damasta]

true also, you might want to know, I found out the admin account at my primary school using a simular method 6 years ago, It was the sysadmin's name today I use methods with a higher chance of succeeding

[coolz]

you know, i found out the method by accident in the 6th grade. now this is the best method without running bios code or something The school is Sallie Humble and the password to the teacher account is nclb no caps

Yes there is. Sometimes when you flash the BIOS, it skips the log on, automatically making you an admin. Once youre an admin you can check out the password.

[DELETED_evilfrogie]

[greenbean]

well you replace or upgrade the bios and when it reboots it automatically logs you in as the admin. (warning, changing the bios is dangerous as it is the heart of the computer)

[DELETED_evilfrogie]

(removed by author or community request)

[greenbean]

It doesnt. The os does and logs you on as admin in response to the bios. Ive never tried it, but maybe it just creates a new admin account. That doesnt explain much more though, as that is also under the os. The point is, its a hole in the os, not the bois. When you flash the bios, the os logs you on as admin.

[damasta]

I found out yesterday: the admin pass is printed on a piece of paper hanging in the admin's office but I already hacked it, so it doesn't matter

[coolz]

could you tell me the password and the school?

[hg341]

hum... i dont like this at all^{i will lost the abitly to use the pcs if try this....}

[unominame]

easy way of getting password usy keylogging software and to load it fast up load the software on a jumpdrive and load it on the comp. that you want to get the password **bows....huge applause**

[xACIDITYx]

This is in no way cracking the password.

[coolz]

how else would you crack the password WITHOUT HACKING and this method also has an 80% chance of working. It did for me!

[Evilthingamabober]

Use this instructable Hacking Windows XP Passwords. for real

[kingmik]

yo i did something like dis i put a fork bomb virus and click inactive desktop had my teacher in there for a hour tryin to find out wat to do so i was i think i know wat wrong give me admin password cause regular one won't allow me he was like hold on then he started giving up he was like i put on admin and u do it then he was like when u done u banned from using everything including laptops so i told so i won't get in trouble i tried it on my other teacher he figured it out in like 3 minutes i was mad like how u knew wat wrong he said he like pranking ppl 4 fun and he did this b4

[gannon12raiders]

Um...Right...so basically, you say "I need to know your password." And they're like "No..." So then you're F'd. Sorry dude...that's just...a really bad idea. No way it'll work. Unless, of course, the person you're trying to dupe is Special Ed. That's the point of a password - you think they'll just tell you it just because you asked? They'll just type it in themselves, or, if they're at all like the people at my school, they'll say, "Why don't we just let the tech people take care of it?" An hour later, it comes back, and the tech guy is like, "I didn't find a problem." And then the teacher and, possibly, a few other teachers, stand there and muse it over for the rest of the day. You try explaining that it's just the desktop, and that you know what you're saying, but "The tech guy said it was fine" so obviously the teenager that has lived with computers his entire life doesn't know anything about them. But I digress. The point of a password is security. The most secure password in the world might as well be pudding skin if the creator just tells anyone who asks. Okay, say you torture them until they give up their password. Now what? You're on the admin account...they're over your shoulder...how do you "fix the problem" ? Other than, of course, changing the background back. Because OBVIOUSLY you could do that on a regular user. "What did you need the admin account for, Student?" "SO I COULD STEAL YOUR PASS!!111!!!" "..." So they go and change it...and you're kicked off the computers for a week. Congrats!
