| How to I bypass someone's password protection on Windows XP home edition? The reason I'm
asking is my stepdaughter's father gave her a PC for X-Mas and told her not to share with the rest
of the family. I know I can use her Dell system restore disk but I don't want to do that unless I have to.
I want to have admin privileges and not her. Any suggestions?

This has worked for me every time. Just "blank" the password though, don't
try to change it. I could never get it to work if I tried to change the
password to something else. I had to "blank" it.
Be advised though, if any of her files are encrypted they will be deleted
and unrecoverable.

If her father gave her a PC what business is it of yours? If I were him I
would beat you for interfering.
Your attitude makes it more likely she and others within your family will
distrust you.

I couldn't care less what he does with that information. It's his family
and his business. It's incredibly easy to find how to do this on google
(not the only tool to do it), and there are plenty of legitimate uses for
this program.

Ron -
As you see here by the posts most people think it is wrong and unethical.
I would suggest that you not tamper with the computer, rather have the
mother of the child handle the situation. DO NOT put your self in the
middle of the situation for you will loose all the way around. It
appears to be a nasty custody fight situation, so reason with the child.
However, the prudent course of action would be to check first with the
local law enforcement seeing if there are laws regarding tampering with
the computer. If the mother wants you to take over the computer, and
there are laws being broken, purchase a computer for the child and return
the computer to her father saying it is not acceptable gift with the
conditions placed upon it. If no laws are being broken, and the child's
mother insists on you taking over administration of the computer and
purchasing a computer is not an option, and reasoning fails to work; give
the child the option to either give you the password or have the system
wiped clean.
However, like I said this is a no win situation for you or your wife.
Been there done that and lost it all.

You might have a point. Maybe I would have been better off just staying out
of it now that I've re-read the original message. The funny thing is that
he could have just left out the backstory and asked how to recover an XP
password, and most people probably would have helped him without question.
There's a way to recover a password on almost any machine when you have
physical access.
I appreciate you explaining your concerns without resorting to namecalling.
Unfortunately, others (myself included) couldn't overcome that in this
thread.
| |
|
| you are welcome. I personally just feel it unethical to interfere in a
situation like this. And you are correct, had the individual simply avoided
giving the details about why he wanted to bypass the password many
people(myself included) would probably have helped without question. I
personally think we should all be careful when helping people bypass admin
passwords, unless we are absolutely certain about the reasons behind the
request.

Good, now I apologize. And you are correct in your assessment, a better

So I'm suppose to let this idiot give his daughter a PC with AOL with no supervision?
Then when some cyber stalker makes a move on her I get in trouble with child welfare!
Not under my roof!

| he may have given her a computer--but the parents control the
money.........aol does no good without phone lines and internet access--and
both cost money...think about it. Again, delving into ethical issues here.
Talk to the girls mother, have her get the password or simply have her
mother take the computer and get her one where you, the mother, or both
control everything, but don't ask for ways to crack a password and gain
admin priviliges, because it is unethical.
as I said--this is a family issue best handled within your family. There
could be potential criminal liabilities with damaging the property of
another person, even that of your stepdaughter, given the fact the computer
was given to her by her father he may be able to pursue criminal charges
against you, depending on the laws of your area. check with your local law
enforcement, or consult an attorney, or better yet have the mother get the
password...........
Asking for ways to crack a password just to get admin control because you
don't like what your stepdaughters father gave her isn't going to make you
any friends, because it is completely unethical, I understand your
reasoning, but still, its unethical, because there are other ways.

While you are raising some valid points (many of which are the reasons why I
gave you this info), I also agree with the other posters that a lot of this
is best left unsaid. I'm happy you found my information useful, but I hope
that you will use it wisely. It'd be best to talk things out first and only
use the "hack" method as a last resort. That's all the more I'm going to
say on this as it really isn't my business.
| |
|
| I'm not saying your the only one in this position--and I sympathize with the
position you are in, but there are other ways to get the password without
resorting to cracking it and possibly making things worse, if indeed her
father chose to try and have it prosecuted, because you would be hacking the
computer for one, and you would also be essentially destroying or damaging
property that did not personally belong to you. Your wife could get the
password, you could simply deny phone access to the computer--no phone, no
internet......or, you and your wife could agree to simply take the computer
and replace it with an equal computer, one which you and your wife
control---there are all sorts of ways.....again, its an issue I think best
handled between you, your wife and stepdaughter--reasoning works wonders
sometimes, but there are other avenues open to you in this matter if you
will simply stop and think about it. My issue is that what you requested,
though I understand and sympathize with why you are asking for the
information--is unethical nonetheless.

| If you can't teach your step daughter to be careful and stay away from
people that might cause her harm in AOL or in the streets, then you need
some serious parenting skills, most kids would listen to adults when talk
about issues like this, but don't be a sneaky parent, and then complain that
she doesn't respect you.
Be upfront and face her openly.

Now you are speaking of a different want/need. It is your house and you
pay the ISP bill(?). This would be a nice time to set down with her and
make her aware of the dangers out there.
You might lay down the law on usage times and criteria that will allow
her to keep you off her back. Depending on the relationship, you may
even want her to know that you will check her usage tracks; as opposed
to sneaking in without her knowing you can. I can only imagine the
response should she catch you on her computer, or notice changes in
date/time stamps.
Tons more could be said, but you get the idea.

| Alan Smith 2005-04-06, 2:28 pm |
| Why not ask your wife to simply ask her for the password. If she refuses the
MOTHER can make the box off limits until she is willing. Children left
unsupervised get into trouble period. My son (8 years old at the time) thought
it would be funny to look up "www.butt.com" (remember looking up words like
"fart" etc when you were that age). Well, he showed me right away and we had a
talk.
But he is MY son. It would not be my place to impose my will on another's
child. It is morally wrong. It is your wife's place, not yours. You have no
right to dump it in his yard either. Your wife was married to the guy, doesn't
mean you need to hate him or call him names because he gives his daughter a
very good and educational gift.
If your step-daughter wont give her mother the password. Then I think you
should talk to the mother.
That's how responsible parents handle things. Not by having temper tantrums or
being deceptive.
Perhaps the four of you should get some counselling.
And for the record, I would have helped you too, but with your rationalization.

| I dont have any kids (I'm 27), so for whats its worth.,....
I grew up in a fairly strict/religious house, so I was not allowed a TV
in my room, for the obvious reasons, content filtering and mass amounts
of time spent staring at a box. TVs belonged in a living room when I
was a kid, and if I ever have kids, so do the computers. (and just to
add to the rant, I'm never putting a tv in the car either, its called
books people)
God knows I only look at porn on the PC in the garage (where my GF
never goes), not on the PC in the office, where she is every day.
As for gaining access to a PC, well here is a few ideas:
Knoppix boot CD
atelier web commander
and the link above works too
this is useful too

Not worth paying for. There's plenty of free and small programs out there
that will do the trick.
