How to hack admin account on XP? (Harder than usual)

[Grand_Master]

The laptops I and my friends got from school is locked. We may not install programs or similiar actions.
But in fact we "need" to install some programs to study effective.

The admin says he's gonna fix it, but that the server currently is down, and that it will take a couple of weeks.

I've tried to hack the permissions, but failed. Pleas help.
I will give as much info I can (I've really tried to hack it myself):

Windows XP SP3

Change/create registry keys - blocked
Change systemfiles - blocked
Change files in .\system32 - blocked
Access from safe mode (by domain) - blocked
Access to any of the system settings (user properties, computer management, etc.) -blocked
"Net User" and "at" commands in cmd - blocked
Access to BIOS - blocked

The user we use to login is in a domain (I don't really know how these "domains" work). And we can't login outside the domain.

Anyone who got a clue on how to crack it?

OT: Would you call it "hacking" or "cracking"? I really don't know myself.

This will might work: Boot from a cd and try to copy system32/config/sam file. The file contains all the account passwords in the computer. There you will find the encrypted password. Crack it with for ex. 'John the Ripper'

Else you can try to log in to the admin account by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del while booting and log in to the admin account by typing administrator ( or administratör if you have the Swedish version of xp ) with no password...

get XP liveCD of ophcrack: http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/download.php
then boot from this CD...

[Grand_Master]

The access to the boot order options is blocked.
Whole BIOS, blocked by admin password.
(I did add that to the list of blocks above)

Are there more ways of changing boot order?

i need manufacture of system please.

Code: Select all

  (Are these systems that you take home with you?)
  (If not i can get you the correct information to run a bios reset from with in windows)
  (This will get rid of you bios password problem)
  (Are you looking to get the  password and just remove it?)

  using a boot cd will allow you to remove passwords and see any user created that you don't know              of        

 
  (i can help you reset the hole registry permissions)

[Grand_Master]

I would prefer to get the password. Our admin don't like when we mess around with his passwords or accounts.

We take those computers with us, home. But I don't really likes the idea of messing with the hardware, when this is a HP laptop, and all guarantees would be broken at the moment I open the computer physically.

How can I reset the registry permissions?
It would almost certainly help a lot.

Thanks for all tries to help

if CMD works type this in

If cmd is disabled make a batch file.
After you make the cmd file open it.
Then:
Type in
netuser
Get the admins username
Now type:
netuser administrator *
That should work too.

don't you have to be an admin already to use that function of the CLI?

In case if you don't know what is CLI, it is C++ and pretty much interoperable with .Net frameworks. It still can use native components too.

I thought it meant C++ CLI, should have defined better.

Too many three letter acronyms.
