This is a "trick" called : The sticky keys trick. With this you can bypass or reset an administrator windows password. I am not sure if this can work on windows 8, but
it works on windows 7, windows vista and windows xp.The whole point of this "hack" is to change the name of the .exe of the sticky keys (sethc) with that of the .exe of the
command prompt (cmd) . What happens is that when you press five times the Shift button ,instead of the stupid sticky keys pop up window, you will see the command prompt because
when the computer takes the order to execute sethc.exe it will execute the .exe with the name sethc.Now, there are many ways to achieve rename the two files. The easy way is
when you are logged in on the computer and have access to the file : Windows, you can go to c:/windows/system32/ for example and rename the two files .But what if you are not logged in to the computer?
What you want is to somehow gain access to the folder system32. You can do this by having a live cd of your windows ,boot from the cd and when the pc starts use repair mode
to gain access to the command prompt and by there you can rename your two .exe. But when i was trying to do that, i didnt have a windows vista cd to access my brother's laptop
but a windows 7 cd. Well that's ok, because when i booted from my cd it said that my cd wasn't for this version of windows. So i had the option to load drivers from
hdd.After that i just had to go to system32 folder rename sethc.exe to something else and tne cmd.exe to sethc.exe. When i restarted the computer i pressed five times
Shift while it was asking me for the administrator password. The command prompt windows popped up and i inserted the command net user administrator active/yes and then restarted and
there was a new administrator account without a password. You can also reset the password but the user will understand that someone hacked his/her account. When you finish
doing you job you can restart,insert the command net user administrator active/no , and all of your traces are gone. You can access the folder system32 by shutting down
your pc while its on the windows logo and chose tto restore the system afterwards, then you can chose to see the license or something like that from there, and the notebook
will open. Go to Save As and you can access system32 folder from there in no time.
I dont know if anyone else posted about this, and if someone already did i am sorry and i'll delete this post if that's the case. Its not actually a hack or something
like that but a trick , "noobs" like me can use to bypass windows passwords. Also its my first time writing a post about something so excuse me if i didnt analyze the
subject enough or for violating the English language.
