How to break into a computers administrator account - Legend_27 - Jun 23, 2023

Son we're going to kick it oldschool.

You're gonna need an 8 GB physical thumb drive.
Rufus, and ubuntu, you can download rufus, and ubuntu below. You'll also need a computer to break into.

Downloads]
Forgot I cant post links you'll have to use google for now, Rufus is a USB Installation media creation tool.


Anyways once you've got it installed flip the computer, or laptop on its side/over and look for an information sticker. and do a quick google search for the computers "Boot Menu"

Once loaded up you should see the the flash drive listed as a bootable medium. Use the arrow keys and hit enter once its selected.


Next you should either have one of two things happen. Either it'll prompt you to install, or "try" the operating system. You want to boot into livemode.

Ubuntu will ignored file permissions on the hard drive of the computer allowing you to modify the files.

Next open up nautilus aka "File Manager" or whatever the fuck they're using these days,


Next find the C: drive with windows installed and go to C:\Windows\System32 and use ctrl + f to find "osk.exe" and change the name to "osk.exe.bak" so you know what the files called.

Next we're going to look for "cmd.exe" which is the on screen keyboard. next rename it to "osk.exe", then reboot the computer.


When you get back up there should be a butten on the left hand side for assistive technology, you'll see the on screen keyboard. Click it, and a command prompt window should open under SYSTEM permissions allowing you to have administrator ptivs to the PC.

Now type

net user

and look for the main users, you may see multiple usernames, or just one.

What you want to do is find the persons username

once you locate the adminsitrators username, and not the default "Administrator" account type

net user <name> *pwned

the password will now be changed to "*pwned"

Close the command prompt window and login, you can remove the administrators password entirely under the control panel's user settings.

Congrats you have now broken into the computer. 😈
