If you've ever needed information on hacking Windows, then here are two methods you can use. However, keep in mind that this is for learning purposes only.
Steps
-
When the computer starts up, hold down F8 before you see the "Windows Starting" screen. This will bring you to a screen with choices. Your best bet will be "Safe Mode with Command Prompt". You can then do as you want.
-
Open Notepad and press "save as". Select all files from the drop down menu. Name the file: "Something.bat".Advertisement
-
Go down to the bottom and select "All Files".
-
Go to where you saved the file, and open it. This will open up Command Prompt.
-
If the computer has Notepad blocked, you can use edit. Access this by opening command prompt or command.com and typing edit. Also, you can even use Microsoft Office or something if you can save it right.
-
Do as you wish inside command prompt. Here is how to add or delete accounts:
- Add Account: C:>net user USERNAME /add
- Change Accounts password: C:>net user USERNAME * then you'll be able to enter a new password for the account. If you just press enter without typing anything, the account password will be reset.
- Delete Account: C:>net local group Administrators# # Another way is to open up notepad, (if it's not blocked), and type in "command.com". Then go to File->Save As. A USERNAME /ADD

QuestionIf I hack Windows, will I lose all the files on my computer?Stephan BrunCommunity AnswerUsing this method, your files should be safe. The first method just gets a command prompt with admin privileges; nothing else is touched. The second method changes a file on the hard disk. Normally, you will want to restore that for normal login screen functionality, so the seth.exe file should be copied to a backup.

Warnings
- Don't be an idiot and mess up someone else's computer. Only do anything like this if you need access to the root of Windows. It was written for learning only. Also, don't try anything unless you know something about DOS.Thanks
- It is not recommended to attempt this at school or at a library. The consequences could be negative for your convenience, and legal trouble could also ensue. Again, it is not recommended to attempt this at school or at a library unless you really know what you are doing and how to get out of it.Thanks
- Doing this stuff on a computer other than yours is illegal , so don't do it on someone else, unless you have been given the permission to do so.Thanks
- You could go to jail for doing this without permission.Thanks
