Hacking Windows XP Passwords is quite simple compared to unix and linux passwords. There are many ways to crack it, you can either brute force, create your own password, or keylogging (IF THE COMPUTER HAS INTERNET!). There are a little more ways to crac
... receive the hash, you will get a format like the above. I suggest getting the hash from a floppy disk, which boots into dos. (You can find the floppy image in the downloads page of my site,(http://hcpf.cjb.net)) Once you are in dos, you type [qd.bat](Without the brackets). Once you have succesfully booted in dos, received the hash, you can now go back to your computer, (Or restart the computer if you are cracking your own) and crack the has with a program. (You can find the hash inside a file called pass.txt) I suggest using CAIN and ABEL. You can find out more information with CAIN and ABEL. (You can also find that in the downloads page). LINUX, CREATING YOUR OWN PASSWORD If you want to create your own password, or set it as blank for the user, you can use this method. You can either use linux, a linux boot floppy, or ebcd (Emergency Boot CD). I suggest using a linux boot floppy, since CD's are expensive, and most people who read this dont have a linux. In the floppy disk, you change your current directory to your SAM directory, mostly /dev/hda1/windows/system32/config/. Then open up the sam file, and follow the directions inside the floppy you downloaded, or if you have ebcd, just keep pressing enter after pressing 5 at boot. Then you can replace the password with your own, (Somtimes making the password blank helps if others have not worked). I somewhat suggest this method, but the keylogging is the best for not being expelled or imprisoned. KEYLOGGING One of the best methods, keylogging is simple, once you set the password blank from linux, you input a keylogger, (Of course, downloadable from my site), set it...
