Hack Administrator using Guest Account by Sticky Keys ~ Hack The Dark

Hi Folks. I hope you all are doing good. I'm sorry for not posting anything for so long. Actually I was busy with Reversing, Coding and other technical stuff.

Here, I'm sharing a pretty popular trick which I was using a way back long for hacking windows xp admin account from guest. I actually forgot about this trick until it was reminded by a guy who claimed to be a hacker in my college. Obviously I leave him with the Happiness in his dreamland. :)

Anyways, enough talk lets take a look how you can do this.

This trick actually works with sticky keys.

When you press SHIFT key 5 times, you'll see something like this.

This also work at logon screen. Here we have to remove the file sethc.exe with cmd.exe file so that when we repeat this action at login screen, We can get the command window with full prevelage.

Now go to > C:\WINDOWS\System32. Copy the file cmd.exe to the desktop.
Rename this file as sethc.exe

Again go back to > C:\WINDOWS\System32 and paste this new file.
It'll ask for overwrite. click yes.
go to login screen and press SHIFT key 5 times. You'll see the command window.
In the cmd window type : NET USER ADMINISTRATOR XXX where XXX can be your new password or you can leave it blank in case of no password.
Click on administrator account and login with you new password.
Congrats you hacked the Admin account.
