Hacking Windows Administrator Password

This article introduce very simple way to hack Administrator Password on Win XP System.This tutorial tells you how to break administrator password and gain access to admin account.Also if you need to crack/reveal the password you find the steps here to accomplish that also.

First of all let us have a close look at the Security flaws/Loopholes in Win XP

Microsoft stores all Security Information in many files but the main file is the SAM file (Security Accounts Manager)! this file contain security information about users(mainly Password).You can explore the SAM file here in this folder

$windows\system32\config

SAM is the file which contains the passwords in the form of a HASH.A HASH is a mathematically irreversible form of encryption,so that theres no way of decrypting the password back .Also there’s a file called SECURITY that contains a list of all users in the system & their related information

We will Not be able To copy them Under XP since it doesn’t support any attempt to copy this file.

The Idea Behind Cracking the password

The Idea is simple I will explain it manually and it can also be programmed.Here’s the idea..

The SAM contain’s a Security Information(password/s), so I have created a Free Windows XP SP2 Logon account (Administrator Account without password) that means when windows Launch it Will enter directly to the system without asking about any password.So, this SAM file contain’s an open password(no password).If you have two operating system then you can get this type of SAM file from another operating system for your further use in breaking the password of the system.

So, the idea here is to replace the SAM file of victim’s computer(which contain’s password) with the SAM file which contains no password.When this is done the password of the victim’s account is erased and it let’s anyone to login to the computer as if there is no password set by admin.

But this SAM file cannot be manipulated(copy/rename/replace/delete) when the operating system is running.So here are some of the ideas to replace this SAM file.

1.If there are two OS installed on the computer we can boot from other OS and replace the SAM file located at

$:\windows\system32\config

2.If there is only a single OS then use the tool NTFS4DOS (http://www.free-av.com/antivirclassic/avira_ntfs4dos.html) to access the location of the SAM and SECURITY files from the boot command prompt.

NTFS4DOS creates a bootable floppy disk.You can use this floppy to access the NTFS drives by booting the system and mounting it to DOS.

Here are the steps to be followed to break the password.

1- Get the SAM file from another OS.

2- Go to the target Machine , and try to Access it by Booting from the floppy created by NTFS4DOS or by other OS(incase you have two OS installed)

3- After Getting Access to the Boot Command prompt c:> Go to the config folder

$windir$\system32\config

And Copy the SAM File and SYSTEM File(we will need it later) To other any folder, Then replace the original SAM file(In $windows$\system32\config) with the SAM file i have provided

5- Reboot and Make windows enter Normally

6- Yeah, Now you can directly enter the system without any password. ie:The PW is broken!.

Now you have broken the system administrator password and you can directly enter system.Now one phase of the password hack is over.If you need to know/crack the admin password then you can use the two files SAM & SECURITY that you have copied in the above STEP-3(This step is optional).It is done as follows.

Download any of the following Password crackers

1.LC4 (Lophtcrack).New version is LC5

OR

2.SAMINSIDE

LC5 is better according to me

Once you have either of the two password cracking tools,you can load the SAM & SECURITY files and start the cracking process.This process may take a long time since it is Bruteforce method depending on the size of the password.

NOTE: THE ABOVE METHOD IS ALSO APPLICABLE FOR WINDOWS VISTA

Hack Administrator by bootable device

Here we present the rock solid windows hacks
for educational purpose only!

This
is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid
(local) account on your Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista system, by
modifying the encrypted password in the registry’s SAM file.
You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
It
works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off
a floppy disk or CD. The boot-disk includes stuff to access NTFS
partitions and scripts to glue the whole thing together.
Works with syskey (no need to turn it off, but you can if you have lost the key)
Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled user accounts!
Caution:
If used on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP or
later service packs on W2K, all encrypted files for that user will be
UNREADABLE! and cannot be recovered unless you remember the old
password again!

cd070409.zip (~3MB) – Bootable CD image with newer drivers
bd050303.zip (~1.1MB) – Bootdisk image, date 050303.
sc050303.zip(~1.4MB) – SCSI-drivers (050303) (only use newest drivers with newest bootdisk, this one works with bd050303)
To
write these images to a floppy disk you’ll need RawWrite2 which is
included in the Bootdisk image download. To create the CD you just need
to use your favorite CD burning program and burn the .ISO file to CD.

Log In WithOut Win Xp Admin Password

You can bypass the admin password by following trick for that you only need bootable Windows XP CD and little know access hole in Windows XP
Let’s get started

1. Place your Windows XP CD and start your comp (before that set your bios set to boot from CD)

2. Screen messages for booting is typically “Press any key to boot from cd”

3. The first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.

4. When you get to the Welcome setup screen press Enter to setup Windows now

5. The licensing Agreement comes next – Press  to accept it.

6. The next screen is the SETUP screen which gives you the option to do a Repair. It should read something like “if on of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”
Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (in case you have more than one Windows on your comp – if you have one, it should already be selected) and PRESS R TO BEGIN REPAIR process.

7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.

8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot.(this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”

9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to booth from CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice INSTALLING WINDOWS is highlighted.

10. Keep YOUR EYE ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN AND WHEN YOU SEE THE INSTALLING DEVICES progress bar, PRESS (SHIFT + F10). This is security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

11. At the prompt type NUSRMGR.CPL and press ENTER. Bingo! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made tour changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with Repair.

13. Once Repair is done you will be able to log on with your new password (or with out if you chose not to be asked for password) and so lives go one.
