Changing an admin password through a limited account

n this tutorial, I will show you two ways to change an admin password useing a limited account. This is for Windows XP, but I dont know about any of the older OSes

Way number 1: Command Prompt

A1. Go to Start > Run… > type in “cmd.exe”
RESULT: Brings up the Command Prompt window.

OR

A1. Bring up notepad, type in “Start cmd.exe”, then go to File > Save as… > Save it as “cmd.bat”
RESULT: Brings up the Command Prompt window.

A2. Type in “net user”
RESULT: Shows you all accounts on computer

Lets just say you chose an account called Alex
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

A3. Type in “net user Alex *” (the ” *” is very important to remember. Without it, you wont change the password.)
RESULT: It prompt for password

A4. Type in your new password, press enter, than conferm it. Both will be invisible when you type them.
RESULT: Password changed

A5. You may now exit out of command prompt and log into the admin/other account with the password you chose. If you pressed enter through both of them, there will no longer be a password.

Congradulations! You just hacked your own computer through a limited account! Once you log into that admin account, you can control anything bascicly.

Way number 2: Batch file

RESULT: You have a nice little batch file

B3. Double click the batch file to launch it. In it, type in the account name you want to hack, then it will prompt for the password just like in Way number 1.
