fucking bullshit
Thank you for this video!!!!! very helpful!!!!!
Open ze backdoor
Now..How do re-name osk.exe back to cmd.exe? Access denied.
That was a very useful video, thank you.
The whole point of passwording your computer is to stop people from doing criminal activities on your PC. These days, the activities conducted on your device, you are responsible for. And unless you can prove without a doubt that somebody was doing something on your device and that was what they were doing, you are going to get fucked up by the law if it goes there. This goes for phones as well. With a bypass like this, you might as well forget about the windows password as the only protection, and consider other alternatives to protecting your stuff.
fucking shit my friend.. before I ve had a problem, I had to reset my password. but now I ve got 2 problems.. I bloody fall asleep randomly too
I'm a systems engineer and thought your presentation was very good and very interesting.
thanks for taking to make this clear video. you saved my computer.
You ROck!
P.S. to my last comment - a win2k does do the job. Trawled thru my collection of ISOs and found a win2k_workstation_sp4.iso - which gets you a command prompt via the c key. Its rather easier/more convenient than the Linux options for alot of windows-centric folk.
Hi - good vid - but I think you should point out that using a win xp install disc to boot from does not work - it does not get you to a command shell.
That's great. But I actually am faced with a BitLocker encrypted driver and (Win7 ) that wont even allow access via 'safe mode w/ command prompt' nor any other "alternative access" (bitlocker's wording) routes so I can delete users password. Has anyone gotten past this double whammy?
Just a quick question. If the option for "Repair your computer" Isn't available in the advanced boot menu, would I need to use the method you're using?
All of the things are helpful. I just need a my name Marie McWherter administrator and a new pass word , because I can't remember my old one. and everyone I have ever used I have put on. and was diened This has been 2 years.
Only I don't have the Windows installation disc.....,
Great tutorial. It save me from downloading software to crack password. This tutorial is little bit time consuming because is explained every steps. Those who are in a hurry you can skip to 9:18. Thank you Wesley David
cool video mate
this doesn't work on my win 8 i have. get to command prompt it take me to a user name i click on name then it ask for the user password so i cant even use cmd with out the user password. so this video is doesn't help my problem at all
My son somehow changed my mother in laws laptop password and she wanted to kill him until you saved the day! She told me to tell you "Thank you so much you saved her grandsons life!"
