Ok, can anyone prove it safe to say, that these links .EXE are non malicious?

Boot Disk tool work perfectly.

DL the tool ran the install option, which created a boot disk with the program into my floppy.

Booted computer from floppy. The program will rest your administrator password to blank, or whatever floats your boat.

Works like a charm on my Win 2000 system.

I'm not sure I follow the LOGON.scr trick thing, is all you're trying to do gain SYSTEM access? There is a much easier way (for XP anyway), and excuse me if this has already been mentioned somewhere and I guess it won't work on all OS':

Open CMD from any account (e.g. guest)

enter the command:

at 10:31 /interactive "cmd.exe"

Where 10:31 is a time 2 minutes in advance of your current system clock.

Wait 2 minutes and a new CMD window will popup as a SYSTEM process.

open the taskmanager and kill the Explorer.exe

in your new SYSTEM CMD window enter:

cd..

to get to %systemroot%

then enter:

explorer

and there you are logged in as SYSTEM, useful for.. well all sorts really.

disregard that last post, doesn't work from the guest account after all.

... Safe mode boot, Administrator.

safe mode administrator never has a password from my knoledge.

get there and change password, and live happy.

 

[Osiris]

true unless you set it up with a password or disable the account

 

[Yin-Yang]

yeah. exactly and most people do not.

What if admin is disabled?

 

[Osiris]
