How can you get out of this situation without formatting and re-installing the operating system?

One method of gaining access to the system is by trying hard to remember the forgotten password, or a password of another user which has the same level of administrative rights. However I don't think this approach will help you, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here reading article, would you?)

Another method is by trying to restore a backed up System State (in Windows 2000/XP/2003) or a ERD (in NT 4.0) in which you do remember the password. The problem with doing so is that you'll probably lose all of the recently add users and groups, and all the changed passwords for all of your users since the last backup was made.

A third method might be to install a parallel operating system on a different partition on the same computer, then use a simple trick to gain access to the old system. Read more about it on my Forgot the Administrator's Password? - Alternate Logon Trick article.

Note: If you are looking for password cracking tools that can be used for miscellaneous objectives such as password-protected PDF documents, zipped archives, Office documents, BIOS protection and so on then this pages is NOT for you. See some links at the bottom of this page for hints on where to find such tools, but I can tell you right away that Google might be a better choice for you.

The fourth option is by using 3rd party tools that will enable you to reset the lost password and logon with a blank password.

Update: You can also discuss these topics on the dedicated Petri.co.il Forgot Admin Password Forum.

Freeware Password Recovery Tools

Here are some of these tools:

Free Windows password-cracking tools are usually Linux boot disks that have NT file system (NTFS) drivers and software that will read the registry and rewrite the password hashes for any account including the Administrators. This process requires physical access to the console and an available floppy drive but it works like a charm! I've done it myself several times with no glitch or problem whatsoever.

Beware!!! Resetting a user's or administrator's password on some systems (like Windows XP) might cause data loss, especially EFS-encrypted files and saved passwords from within Internet Explorer. To protect yourself against EFS-encrypted files loss you should always export your Private and Public key, along with the keys for the Recovery Agent user. Please read more about EFS on my What's EFS? page. Out of the following list, the only tool that will no cause any harm to EFS-encrypted files on your hard disk is the Windows Password recovery system.

Here are 5 of these free tools:

1. Windows Password recovery - Can retrieve forgotten admin and users' passwords in minutes. Safest possible option, does not write anything to hard drive.

2. Petter Nordahl-Hagen's Offline NT Password & Registry Editor - A great boot CD/Floppy that can reset the local administrator's password.

3. Openwall's John the Ripper - Good boot floppy with cracking capabilities.

4. EBCD – Emergency Boot CD - Bootable CD, intended for system recovery in the case of software or hardware faults.

If you happen to know about other free tools please let me know .

Important note for Windows Vista users: At this time there is only one solution for Window Vista and that is Petter Nordahl-Hagen's Offline NT Password & Registry Editor

Note: These password resetting tools are usually good for local users on a stand alone computer. For Domain Admin password resetting procedures please see the Related Articles section at the bottom of this page.

Note: I'd like to put together all the info you have about these issues. If you have any tips, recommended links or any ideas about how to figure out a lost password - please e-mail me and I'll get back to you .

Windows Password recovery

http://www.loginrecovery.com

This site provides a tool to recover lost Windows XP passwords. It works for administrator and user accounts, it doesn't change the password just tells you the old one. It works with encrypted files (EFS) and password hashes. It even works if no passwords at all are known for the machine (as long as you have another computer with internet access to view this website with).

Author claims it also works with Windows NT and Windows Server 2003 and Windows Longhorn, but the BEST thing about it is the fact that it won't reset your passwords, but simply reveal them for you to remember and then use.

Give it a try. The author would like to receive feedback. There is a free service as well as a priority service that will retrieve your passwords within minutes. The fee for the priority service is very cheap, and is really just to cover server costs.

Note: You'll need a blank floppy to run the process.

Update: Author now offers the same tool as a CD image for those of you who do not have a floppy in their computer.

Usage, instructions and additional information can be found at

http://www.loginrecovery.com

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (v060213 - February 2006)

Petter Nordahl-Hagen has written a Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista offline password editor:

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd

• This is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista system, by modifying the encrypted password in the registry's SAM file.

• You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.

• It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppy disk or CD. The boot-disk includes stuff to access NTFS partitions and scripts to glue the whole thing together.

• Works with syskey (no need to turn it off, but you can if you have lost the key)

• Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!

Caution: If used on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP or later service packs on W2K, all encrypted files for that user will be UNREADABLE! and cannot be recovered unless you remember the old password again!

Download links:

• cd060213.zip (~3MB) - Bootable CD image with newer drivers

• bd050303.zip (~1.1MB) - Bootdisk image, date 050303.

• sc050303.zip(~1.4MB) - SCSI-drivers (050303) (only use newest drivers with newest bootdisk, this one works with bd050303)

To write these images to a floppy disk you'll need RawWrite2 which is included in the Bootdisk image download. To create the CD you just need to use your favorite CD burning program and burn the .ISO file to CD.

Support and Problems? Don't call me! Talk to the creator of this great tool. He also has a good FAQ set up covering most of the day-to-day questions. Read it right HERE

Author claims that this tool was successfully tested on NT 3.51, NT 4, Windows 2000 (except datacenter), Windows XP (all versions) and Window Server 2003. Notice that it is NOT compatible with Active Directory.

Need to change Windows NT/2000 Domain Admin password? This tool, however useful, will only reset the local administrator's password (e.g. the one found in the local computer's SAM). To reset a password of a domain administrator (or any other user for that matter) you must perform the routine that is described in the following page: Forgot the Administrator's Password? - Reset Domain Admin Password in Windows 2000 AD.

Note: The above trick will probably not work under Windows Server 2003 due to service account security changes. To work around these limitations please read the Forgot the Administrator's Password? - Reset Domain Admin Password in Windows Server 2003 AD page.

John the Ripper (v1.7.0.1)

John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different architectures), DOS, Win32, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash types most commonly found on various Unix flavors, supported out of the box are Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP LM hashes, plus several more with contributed patches.

A Pro version also exists on the author's site, however that one costs money.

EBCD – Emergency Boot CD (v0.61 - October 2004)

EBCD is a bootable CD, intended for system recovery in the case of software or hardware faults. It is able to create backup copies of normally working system and restore system to saved state. It contains the best system software ever created, properly compiled and configured for the maximum efficient use.

EBCD will be very useful when you need to:

• Copy/move files (with long names, not necessary in CP437 encoding) from/to the disk but OS which can handle them (windows, Linux...) cannot boot. In particular, you may create a backup copy of normally installed and configured Windows and later restore Windows from such backup copy. So, in the case of fault OS itself and all software and its settings can be restored in 5-10 minutes.

• Perform emergency boot of Windows NT / 2000 / XP. When the loader of this OS on the hard disk is damaged or misconfigured, you are able to load OS using another, standalone loader from this CD.

• Recover master boot record of HDD. This allows to boot OS after incorrect uninstallation of custom loader (LILO, for example), which made all OS on your PC not bootable.

• Delete, move, copy to file (image) and re-create partition from file. Image transfer over network is also supported: so you may configure one PC and then make contents of hard disks of other PCs same as contents of the hard disk of the first one.

• Change password of any user, including administrator of Windows NT/2000/XP OS. You do not need to know the old password.

• Recover deleted file, even file re-deleted from Windows Recycle Bin, and, in contrast, wipe single file or a whole disk so that it will be impossible to recover it in any way.

• Recover data from accidentally formatted disk. Sometimes it helps to recover data from the disk, damaged by a virus.

• Recover data from a floppy disk, which is not readable by OS. Format 3.5" disk for 1.7 Mb size.

Also the disk includes full set of external DOS commands, console versions of the most popular archivers/compressors.

Moreover, emergency boot CD includes minimal Linux distribution (Rescue Linux distribution) which may be very useful to a professional user.

18 May, 2007 Reasons not to mess with children.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him ".

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk arou nd to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."


One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are so me of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"


The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the gr oup picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted,
"Cause your feet ain't empty."

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

It doesn't matter how many people you send this to, just remember if it made you laugh, your friends will laugh too.

16 May, 2007 The days of agony

Yesterday was a scary day for me, I had problems seeing when I woke up in the morning.O could hardly open my eyes due to the sunlight.My mum had to bring me to National University Hospital to see the specialist. People there keep looking at me.Even the nurses ask me questions like is it very painful,I had to say yes.The queue there was long but due to the circumstances of my case, the nurses let me see the doctor.The indian doctor examine my eye and I was referred to another indian specialist, she toled me that she need to refer me to the cornea specialist.A nurse came and brought me to see the specialist who is a chinese chap.He was friendly and he told me that he need to take a look at my eye.He shone some light into my left eye and he said that is some fungus on the top of the eye and I was lucky.He said that he will need to ask the lab to mix some eye portion for me and I need to send it to the pharmacy.I had to come back to the doctor's office after that as the portion will take about 1/2 an hour to blend.
There in the office he told me that he need to scrap the fungus from my eye and send it to the lab for some testing.When he asked me to sit down and put my chin on the instrument and look below,he opened up a blade and some plates,he put the blade close to my eye and started scraping the fungus out.It was really very painful.Than he told me that he will give me 3 days medical leave and I have to come back on Thursday for the appointment.As I left the room I thanked him for his help and he told me to be careful next time when I put contact lenses on or if there is some dirt in my eye, I need to rinse my eye.After I left to the counter,the bill came and you would not believe it.I had to pay S$151.26 and for the medication I had to pay S$14.16, wow......so expensive.I took a cab back home with my mum.
In the cab,mum asked me to get some lunch near our place.I agreed.Thank GOD I am able to open my eye slightly.I went and got some lunch and walked back with my mum.Every hour,I had to apply the 2 bottles of medication on my eye to kill the fungus from spreading.I slept most of the day as I was not able to look on the computer screen or watch tv as my eye was still painful to the light.Slept pretty early as I never really slept this early before.
Got up in the morning,mum had made some coffee for me.Than I went to my room to do my officer's computer as he had send it to me on Monday to my place to get it done for me.I realise that his hard disk is gonna crash soon as there is some bad sectors,so I backup all his files for him.I called him and told him to get me another SATA hard disk from Sim Lim and come over to my place.He will come later in the night.So now here I am just updating my blog for yesterday and today.I hope the guys in the office are able to handle the things that is going on.Hope the new guy is also getting on well enough.Ok will update more later in the day if I could see better.

CYA.

10 May, 2007 Tiring day it has been for me

Well Rosemary's computer has been infected with a malware software that does not allow her to launch the internet explorer.So I had to login in safe mode with networking,once I was in the system I was able to launch the internet explorer and I went to Norton Website to do a scan on the infected pc and found the malware.Later with the help of Aref,we deleted some of the files in the registry after uninstalling the software.The malware was a program called Starware.In between I went downstairs to install the driver and made sure that Lynn was able to print from the printer as she needs it urgently.Manage to get it running for her,so there is no problem now.Left for home about 1850hrs.Came back,was a little tired,rested for a while watching the movie teen wolf......ok time for me to have my shower and dinner....than I need to start work on the other side of the world.

Skydiving lessons this weekend

This weekend I will be giving some Skydiving lessons to some students from Russia with my other sky-diving instructors in the northern part of Malaysia (Area is confidential -I will have to kill you if you wanna know).There will be about 15 people attending the jumps excluding us instructors.So I will be doing 3 jumps (1 will be Tandem jump and the other 2 will be Accelerated Free Fall).I always love sky diving since quite some time back.Well I intend to sky-dive in places like Japan,Europe,South & North America and many more other places yet to mentioned.Certain things you do,you do not need to take photos as the thrill is there for you to enjoy.Taking photos are costly since the lesson is already so costly for you.Not many people could sky-dive as they might have the fear for heights.Dun talk the talk when you cant walk the walk.Finally I have been waiting for a long time for the next lesson to be given as I have been waiting for candidates for the jump.Now I can do it again.In life you have to enjoy to the fullest and do the things that you think that you have not the courage to do.Some people give excuses and I bet there is only a limited number of Singaporeans who could sky-dive.Are we sporting enough?Well that is for you to decide.

Suspect that you have been infected with a virus

Some of my colleagues and staffs have been infected with some virus/malware/Trojan issue,not all virus scans are similar.If anyone tells you that than I wonder what sort of IT engineer are they.I have done my scope of checks and I realized that one of the softwares will detect while the other wont,so if you think you are smart enough to come up with the correct answer than let me know why is that so,either than that "DON'T GIVE ME SOME LAME ASS CRAP BULLSHIT".
Ok you should proceed to this page at http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/support/index_virus.jsp
and also remember to run it under safe mode with networking (restart the computer and keep pressing the F8 button till you see the screen and choose safe mode with networking)make sure that you are running this from internet explorer and you have to install the ActiveX when there is a pop up.Once install it will do a virus scan for you and you have to wait for quiet sometime before you see the results.There are 2 scans which you should do and they are SECURITY SCAN AND VIRUS SCAN,you should choose one at the time.It will not be installed in your computer and it will not affect your present virus utility on the system.So try it out and see whether you get to find out what is in your system that has been affecting you for days.

Episode 3 of Battlestar Galactica has ended.

Last night I have completed watching episode 3 of Battlestar Galactica and it was a really nice final series of the episode.Baltar was on the final stage in his trial and it seems that things really got heated up,but in this episode,we learn about the honesty of being a human and not giving justification to something that was done in the past to the present.Everyone has the right to be forgiven for the crimes that were committed as crimes were committed for a reason.This will tell you the fundamental points in accessing a person to the point of verdict ion.Slept about 2.30am in the morning after doing some marketing presentations for the US wholesale markets.

08 May, 2007 A BRAND NEW DAY AFTER THE MEETING

After yesterday's meeting,I came to work with MILITARY MODE activated.From now on things are gonna be different.If anyone wants us to do anything they have to talk to our higher level to pass the matter down to us.And from now on if things are said I will also email and cc the email to the various parties in concerned relating the spoken conversations.So from now on English will be a powerful vocabulary if you do not use it wisely.There is no IFs, MAYBEs, I THINK SO, I THOUGHT, I PRESUME.Its either a YES or a NO.In the past many of my friends have asked me to be a lawyer as I could always quote what the other party always said.There is no modifications done on the sentences but the word itself that was heard.My English at times could be really deep to understand,only my foreign friends could understand it better,or close friends who know me.Throughout the day,I handled a couple of cases smoothly and some managers have spoken to me and I suggested to them to send an email to our department and cc a copy to their department heads as to make sure that we are doing the right thing and someone somewhere has to be answerable for the actions that are not taken to rectify the much delayed work that is needed to be done.Dimas also went home early and as for me,I went out with the guys from the 2nd flr who are my closest frens now and I trust them the way they trust me.We went to Bugis for dinner and had some talks and laughs, after which we walked towards Sim Lim and took separate cabs back home.Came back home,had a cold shower for 15mins and waited for a guy to come and collect the SATA harddisk that he wanted to get from me.

Monday's Events

Well Monday seems to be a hot day as I tried to sleep but could not sleep,the time I fell asleep was coming close to 4 in the morning.Got up at about 0615hrs and was tired.Had a cold shower and took a train to work.Many things were on my mind.Came to work had some problems in the morning due to the change in the new EWAnet kerridge ids.It affected a lot of workshop guys in Mercedez Benz Center, Pandan Gardens, Pandan Loop and many more other places.But things was better somewhere close to the late morning and I had to let Dimas know about it.Also informed the rest of my team members.Next we also had the storage problems in the network as users could not store all their important datas on the network drive. Later in the afternoon, our team reminded each other of the meeting that was to be held at 1900hrs on the 3rd flr meeting room.I had to rush to Sim Lim to get my new 19" Wide Screen LCD monitor.Was happy that I manage to get it and than had to rush back to Alexandra for the meeting.Was really tired.During the meeting a lot of things were said and there were so many things that we found out. I regretted signing the contract till end of the year again.Now it seems that we are given more shit to do.We are doing more of others job rather than what we are supposed to do.I am not happy with anything now.The best part is that we will be moving into a room that is gonna be glassed enforce and they could see the things that we do.Now I realized that the line has been drawn way above the border and this has gone far beyond the limits.If our team start resigning than I think this company is gonna be in a lot of shit.I also heard from some of the departments that some of the staffs are resigning or quitting due to the pressure.First and foremost,the incidents that happened here had made me realized that this is the only IT department that stabs people from behind.WELL SINCE THEY ARE BEHIND STABBING US AT THE SAME TIME THEY CAN TAKE THEIR TIME BY KISSING OUR ASSES.I am really frustrated how someone of such position could manipulate the exact words that was spoken.THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A REAL LIFE IMBECILE OF HIGHER AUTHORITY.By the time the meeting ended it was close to 2200hrs and none of us had taken our dinner.Me,Dimas,Rajan n Irwan walked out together while Aref and Patrick went back together.Ma n Irwan took a cab and I drop Irwan at Bt.Gombak MRT while I proceeded to my block.Came back,set up the monitor and than went to have a cold shower since it has been a hot day for me.Ok....the story shall continue.........

I met this fren of mine yesterday nite and was shocked to know certain things from him.We do keep in touch from time to time.He was not around for almost 4months now and he has become a RICH MAN.When he was down and out most of his frens have left him and always will not help him out.I can see what he has been through and I realized it.Now he tells me that when his former frens know that he is making millions,they come looking for him for help and he shrug them off.He told them when he was in trouble where were they.No one was there for him.He said he learned something important from him that is not to lend money to anyone accept family on certain grounds that made him realize a lot of things.He was grateful to me to be a fren there for him and he wanted to take me to Millenia for something to eat but I decline the invitation but sat with him at the coffee shop and had coffee with him instead.We talked about many things and he is happy that I was always there for him to give him advise and talk things out with him.Well there is one thing that you should know when someone who is in need and you cant help much the best is to be a listening ear to the other party but after hearing him out,what we should not do is to gossip of the other party.Hey nobody's perfect,but there are some who are genuine assholes and imbeciles.They care more of their needs than others.Sometimes it is best to keep opinions to yaself if you think you cant take the shit.It takes a greater man to walk away from trouble than create trouble.Those who think they have all the authority abuse it in so many ways.My fren has been abroad and the stories are similar than the ones I encountered when I was abroad too.Anyway after that I came home and went to bed as I needed to work today in the morning thou it will only be half day for me.Ok I might update the blog further later.Thank you for coming in and hope to see you people again in my blog.God Bless N God Speed.

04 May, 2007 Definition of happiness

There are many of us,human beings,when comes to making someone happy,we have to lie at times to make the person happy but when telling the truth will hurt the other party what is the point.Well lies are prominent in this world where we live in and it co-exist with the truth but to bear the truth is so painful,no one wants to hear the truth.I just cant understand,what is the point in lying when you cant accept the truth.That is where honesty is.Sometimes we lie and we are guilty for our actions and we confess to the things that we have done but we are not forgiven as we came out telling the truth.I guess everyone will be happy with lies as they cant face up to the truth.Weird it may seem but put yourself in a position of telling the truth but you get kick around like a ball.How would you feel?Will it make you happy?That is why sometimes i dont understand that to get happiness you have to lie to survive in this world and the only person you could trust is yourself as you know you could do a better job a it.I,for one,did lie a couple of times just to make others happy but I did not think of my own happiness.I honestly would like to tell the truth but people cant take it when you come out straight to the point.All they do is whine and insult you.So do you think you wanna take all these?I guess not,that is why many people lie,even the presidents of the world,the prime ministers also do tell lies.Nobody is a saint here.Who can be like the next Mother Theresa?I bet no one else could.Courage, pride and dignity comes in telling the truth which in turns bring in happiness if you are willing to accept the fact.So sit down and think carefully before you make a decision.I am sad to say that majority of the humans lie but not animals.We have to feel with our hearts rather than with our minds as to achieve stability in happiness.We have to be strong in not wanting to give up without a fight to show the way that is right,I am not here to preach or be an angel of GOD.I am just here stating the fact that many seem to neglect and make it their everyday life to lie.Sheesh honesty is a unbearable trade where many cant seem to take a grip on.

02 May, 2007 WHAT IS LOVE?

What is love?Some people come out with funny definitions for love.Men must always be older than women for women to fall in love with them.Love buys anything they want for the others.Love is when the person is good-looking.Love comes with the price of money.Shucks these are all the most stupid answers that I have heard from some of the many that I had asked.Ok let me give you my definition of love:It is something that has no boundaries,age is not a difference,money cant buy love,love could stand the test of time,love could get jealous,love is remarkable,funny,crazy,weird,love will to the most embarrassing things.Love will get you tongue-tied,love will give you butterflies in your stomach.Love could be imaginative.Love is strong,courageous,warmth,friendly,kind, silly.Well love basically is a good adviser,it sees straight from the heart rather than from the head.These are my definitions of love.WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Late Update.

I was supposed to update with regards to one of my colleagues who has been having problems in her relationship with her husband.Well....let me 1st start by asking you this,why do people get a divorce?There are many reasons to it.But to have someone not get a divorce due to the incidents that have happened to her cuz for her children,I find it absurdly ridiculous.Man should not abuse their spouse, control to the extend that there is no freedom(more like a slave).Man should not beat their spouse.Who gives them the right to beat their spouse.They are not GOD,even GOD will not do that.She has been telling me alot of things and for the sake of her children she stays with her husband.How naive and ridiculous could this woman be.I mean anyone in the own straight of mind will know that there is good from bad and moreover we are not living in the 16th century where you have to endure all this.She could still divorce her husband and also fight for the rights of her children.Does not she know about the Women's Chapter in the Singapore Courts?How lame.....well I keep giving her alot of advices but it seems to fall on deaf ears.So be it.Why should I bother too much if she cant even care about the things that might happen in the near future to her or her kids.Some people lack the compassion or love to see things,they have this conservative primitive way of living that they are in oblivion to what is happening.I cant say much anymore as I have boiled to an extend to where I just do not wanna be bothered if they themselves cant be bothered.I end the chapter here for now.
