June 16, 201016 yr ok so my dad's a teacher and his school had 30 laptops.. but the last week of school someone stole something like 22 laptops (my dad had yet to hand his in). and the school decided that they are just going to buy new ones and teachers who still didnt hand in their laptops can keep them if they wish. so my dad decides to keep his, but the admin has it locked down. using my basic "skills" i can get into command prompt but nearly everything in it is blocked. how can i completely reset or gain control of the system? i can't install new programs but it allows programs to be run off of a usb drive.

June 16, 201016 yr Blank the admin password. Here's how: Get a computer with a cd-burner. Go and download this:http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ Burn to cd Boot into cd on the laptop Blank admin password ??? PROFIT! STEP II: Find gpedit.msc Simple run should get it out. Set everything to "not configured" I used to work as a school's admin for the computers, setting up the security was a breeze, do it once and just clone the pcs. But then old computers get rotated out and get redistributed to faculty and staff, then I had to go in one by one to disable all the stuff I put up.

June 16, 201016 yr Author okay so i burned cd-whatever.iso to a disk. i put it in the laptop and nothing happened. so i went to the disk through my computer and the BOOT icon was the only one that actually had an icon. so i clicked it and i got the message: Invalid public key security object file this file is invalid for use as the following: security catalog edit: thanks for the link, trying those now.

June 16, 201016 yr Author quick update: stellar phoenix password recovery only works from admin account. john the ripper doesn't work because i can't disable virus scanning, and it seems like the boot cd isn't quite what i'm looking for, though i downloaded it. any other suggestions? or did i do something wrong?

June 16, 201016 yr Author Did you burn the iso as an image, or do you now have a disc with a *.iso file on it?If you have the former, as you should, you need to boot from the CD and run through the directions given there. I suggest just doing a clean OS install. i burned it as an image.. there were about 10 files that were on the resulting disk. how can i do a clean OS install without the installation disk?

June 16, 201016 yr Boot the pc to the cd, go under bios and change boot order so it boots through cd first.
June 17, 201016 yr Author i don't think i can go into bios on startup.. it goes straight to the login screen. but i'll try later.

June 17, 201016 yr You can always go straight to the bios, a screen will come up asking you to hit delete or f12 to enter setup, or some related key. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
June 17, 201016 yr Start spamming the F keys, one by one, and maybe throw in some Del to spice things up while the computer is booting.
