How to Delete Someone's Windows Password

Forgetting your Windows administrator login password. With no way to get into the system, you can’t even perform basic maintenance, let alone a thorough tune-up. Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort.
(Plus, guess who’s going to have to help reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?) But all hope is not lost.

There are a few ways (only for Windows 2000/XP with your account having admin privileges) to actually retrieve a lost Windows account password. Read on...

1st Method

1. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account "Administrator" and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget your user account password then try this:

a. Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys twice.
It'll show Classic Login box.
Type "Administrator" (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank.
Press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.

b. Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts".

2. Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.

2nd Method

There are a lot of Windows password revealers and crackers available, but we’ve found that Windows Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:

1. Windows Password Reset Tool is one of the easiest password recovery tools to use. It allows you to reset a user account password, including the Administrator password. It is also a relatively small download.

3rd Method

You need a second computer that can link to Internet and blank CD. Do the following:

a. Login to a second computer that can link to Internet. Download Windows Password Unlocker 4.0 and decompress it on that PC. Note that: there is a .ISO file. Burn the .ISO file to a CD.

b. Get out the newly created CD and insert it to the locked computer.

c. Re-boot the locked computer and then followed the process of instructions. Just a few steps, the old password was removed.

d. Remove the CD and login to the computer with no need of password.

5 reasons why I have NOT... and likely will NOT… hack (jailbreak) my iPhone


#1. It’s not sanctioned by Apple. Apple has been very careful with how they have developed their hardware, and are very closed about it. When someone develops something for an Apple product and that development isn’t sanctioned by Apple, you run the risk of it not working as it should, conflicting with the device itself, or just all-around bricking that iPhone.
 
#2.My iPhone just works already. It’s not perfect, no. There are other things that I wish it could do, yes. But… it’s not doing anything that I don’t want it to do. So why mess with something that already works?
 
#3. There is an SDK (Software Development Kit) coming soon from Apple. This will allow developers to create more things for the iPhone. With the enthusiasm already shown for this, I am confident some pretty cool things will be created in no time, and released.
 
#4. Hacks can lead to problems. I have done this to other devices in the past. Every time, it invariably either messed something else up, or caused an issue with a future update. I need my device to work, not get screwed up because I installed something the device wasn’t expecting or necessarily designed for.
 
#5. Wirelesspacket brought up this one. He pointed out that you don’t have a trust system in place when you use something like this. If it’s not sanctioned by Apple, then the trust system you are relying on may not even exist. You’re trusting the hack will do what it says, and won’t cause issues. But you can’t be sure.

Some questions answered for iPhone Indian customers.. worth to ponder:

How can I Unlock iPhone? Isn't it very costly??

* Yes, You can.
* There are virtually hundreds of hackers who are working overtime and free of cost to screw apple. They develop unlock software and keep it available for all of you guys.
* Unlocking on your own is free of cost.
* Unlocking on your own is risky, bu still it is hundred times better than getting it unlocked from the market where the guys(in India) hardly know anything more than the unlocking software.
* Plus you save 3K (INR) by unlocking on your own.
* And it helps you gain some good knowledge also in the process.

I heard I can't update? so whats the point in using if we cant upgrade?

* Yes, You can.
* Iphone can be updated from time to time with caution.
* There are procedures for updating an iphone if we are in india.

In India we hardly have wifi, so is an iphone really worth it?

* Yes, It is.
* Wifi use in India is negligible compared to US standards, where an Iphone surely makes a better deal.

* But still there are hundreds of things in Iphone which make it a better phone than the ones which we have been using.

Ok, So how do I unlock on my own?? Will Itunes not lock it if i reconnect?

* Unlock Iphone 2g with latest firmware:

Here is the list of things you should download before unlocking your Iphone 2g.
(3g unlocking hasn't been done yet, and I use a 2g myself)

Itunes: Get the latest Itunes 8. Install it on your computer and get ready for update.

Three ways to UNLOCK (unlock process same for every country!)

~~~~FIRST METHOD: USING ITUNES and Quick PWN~~~~

Step I:

#Firmware:
An Iphone has firmware which apple keeps updating to fix bugs and all. This needs to be updated from time to time. Of course there is no hard and fast rule that one should update.

Connect to Itunes, connect your iphone, and click update. (I recommend this way, But if next update comes you might be in trouble, the second option of rapidshare links is the better)

Step 2:

Download the following stuff

(1) Bootloader 3.9 and 4.6 from the link: http://iphonefreakz.com/iphone-firmwares/
(2) Quick PWn 2.2. (http://www.quickpwn.com/2008/08/download-quickpwn.html)

Install Quick PWn2.2 on your computer and simply follow the instructions of quick PWN 2.2.

Step 3:

After following Quick PWN instructions(which might take a while), your phone is unlocked and ready to use!!



~~~~~~~~SECOND METHOD: USING cracked FIRMARE DOWNLOAD~~~~~~~~~~

Step I:

Download:
The latest firmware is 2.2 and can be downloaded from rapidshare, here are the links.
http://tinyurl.com/unlock-iphone-22-sizlo-1
http://tinyurl.com/unlock-iphone-22-sizlo-2
http://tinyurl.com/unlock-iphone-22-sizlo-3b

After downloading all the three rapidshare RAR files, copy them in one folder, and click extract on the part1 rar file.

It will automatically extract all three into an apple backup or restore file.
(it would be a 239 MB file or 245 MB file)

Step 2:

Open Itunes, connect you iphone, and right click on your iphone icon.
Select > Restore/backup option and select the downloaded file as backup.

Step3:

After Itunes finishes he process, you have an Unlocked iphone, ready to use. [:D]

P.S: In case an error 1604/1603/21 comes use the QUICK PWN software.


~~~~~~~Third Method: Download firmware and unlock ~~~~~~~~

Here is the list of link for firmware downloads:

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750
http://iphonefreakz.com/iphone-firmwares/

Make sure you have downloaded the 2.2 firmware now.

Step 2:

Connect itunes, connect iphone.

Right click on iphone and restore from backup.

Select the just downloaded file.

Step 3:

Download the following stuff:

(1) Bootloader 3.9 and 4.6 from the link: http://iphonefreakz.com/iphone-firmwares/
(2) Quick PWn 2.2. (http://www.quickpwn.com/2008/08/download-quickpwn.html)

Install Quick PWn2.2 on your computer and simply follow the instructions of quick PWN 2.2

And lo! You have an Unlocked Iphone!!


What all softwares can I install?

I recommend a few like:

(1) Get Installer, browse any one of the source though safari. (you would need internet)

from installer source: http://www.appsafari.com/full-list-of-installerapp-sources/

If, you have unlocked through Quick PWn, you will have it by default.

Use Installer to install hundreds of apps. (the same link has sources list for other apps,which can be added to installer application)(u can get quake4 also :D)

(2) Cydia, same as installer.
If, you have unlocked through Quick PWn, you will have it by default.

(3)IrealSms. (Cracked one: for SMS)(THROUGH INSTALLER or Cydia > add this source xsellize.com/cydia/)

(4) Itunes App store: For hundreds of free Apps.(just connect iphone and get started)


(Dont miss on Tapdefense -- free game from itunes app store)

How to Jailbreak iPhone/iPod Touch With 3.0 Official Firmware

If you have the official firmware 3.0 for the iPod Touch/iPhone it is possible to jailbreak, though it will be less complicated when QuickPwn comes out. For now, this method is the working alternative.

1. First, open iTunes, and shift+click on the "restore" button and upgrade yourself to the 3.0 firmware (even if you already have it).

2. Set it up as a new iPod/iPhone in iTunes.

3. It should work on the 3.0 firmware, un-jailbroken as of now.

4. Open "redsn0w" and browse for the firmware.

5. Click "Next".

6. Only check Cydia, not Icy.

7. Plug in the device, then turn it off.

8. Follow the instructions for putting it into DFU mode (power button for 3 seconds, both buttons for 10 seconds, only home button for 30 seconds). It will do the rest.

9. When it turns on again, you should have a normal iPod/iPhone with Cydia installed. It is successfully jailbroken.

What is Jailbreaking of iPhone / iPod


Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and recently Apple TV users to gain root access to the command line of the iOS operating system, thereby removing usage and access limitations imposed by Apple. Once jailbroken,[1] iOS users are able to download extensions and themes that are unavailable through the App Store (via installers such as Cydia) and perform other tasks that are not possible on store-bought devices, including installing non-Apple operating systems such as Linux. A jailbroken iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS can still use the App Store and iTunes and other normal functions, such as making telephone calls.

Jailbreaking is different from SIM unlocking, which, once completed, means that the mobile phone will accept any SIM without restriction on, for example, the country or network operator of the owners choice. Under the DMCA of 2010, jailbreaking is legal in the United States, although Apple may claim it to void your warranty. It is also legal in many other countries including the EU. The jailbreaking process can be quickly and easily reversed by restoring the device in iTunes.

Cydia creator Jay Freeman estimates that over 10% of all iPhones are jailbroken.





Some more definitions and analysis:
 

In essence, jailbreaking your iPhone means freeing it from the limitations imposed on it by AT&T and Apple. You install a software application on your computer, and then transfer it to your iPhone, where it "breaks open" the iPhone’s file system to allow you to modify it.

Why Would I Want to Jailbreak My Phone?
It lets you do everything from customizing the look of your iPhone to installing third-party applications and customized ringtones on it. Depending on how far you're willing to go, you can do even more than that: Jailbreaking even lets you to unlock your phone so you can use it with a carrier other than AT&T.

Why Wouldn't I Want to Jailbreak My iPhone?
Once you do it, you're on your own. You may have voided your warranty, so you can't rely on AT&T or Apple to fix any problems you encounter. All of the applications that jailbreak your phone are unauthorized and could damage or completely disable your iPhone. Your slick smartphone could end up as nothing more than a very expensive paperweight.

Can I Fix My iPhone if Something Goes Wrong?
Maybe. Some users have reported that they were able to connect a malfunctioning iPhone to iTunes and restore it to its original settings, which resolved the problem. Not all users have had this experience, though, and you certainly can't count on AT&T or Apple to provide you with tech support once you've taken this unauthorized step.

Find the IP address

How to find the IP address of the email sender in 
Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail, AOL, Outlook Express, etc

When you receive an email, you receive more than just the message.
The email comes with headers that carry important information that can tell where the email was sent from and possibly who sent it. For that, you would need to find the IP address of the sender.

The tutorial below can help you find the IP address of the sender.

Note that this will not work if the sender uses anonymous proxy servers.
Also, note that if you receive an email sent from a Gmail account through the web browser, you may not be able to find the real IP address because Google hides the real IP address of the sender. However, if someone sends you a mail from his/her Gmail account using a client like Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, you can find the originating IP address.
Lets begin this. First of all, the IP address is generally found in the headers enclosed beween square brackets, for instance, [129.130.1.1]


The following section will deal with:
finding IP address in Gmail
finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail
finding IP address in Hotmail
finding IP address in AOL
finding IP address in Outlook/Outlook Express



1) Finding IP address in Gmail
a. Log into your Gmail account with your username and password.

b. Open the mail.

c. To display the email headers,
- Click on the inverted triangle beside Reply. Select Show Orginal.

d. You may copy the headers and use IP address detection script to ease the process. Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to 5.

e. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ]. Received: from [69.138.30.1] by web31804.mail.mud.yahoo.com

f. If you find more than one Received: from patterns, select the last one.



2) Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail

a. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.

b. Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.

c. Click on the Subject of the email you want to track and right-click. You should get a menu like this.























d. You may copy the headers and use my IP address detection script to ease the process. Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to the next step.

e. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].That should most likely be the IP address of the sender.If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.



2) Finding IP address in HotmailHotmail has been integrated with Windows Live, or vice-versa. And the format has changed.

a. Log into your Hotmail/Windows Live account with your username and password.

b. Click on the Inbox link on the left.

c. Under the column that says "Sort by", find the email that you want to track and right-click on it.
- You should get a menu that has something like Mark as read, Mark as unread, and so on.


d. The last option in the menu should be View message source. Select it.



e. You may copy the headers and use my IP address detection script to ease the process. Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to step 6.

f. If you find a header with X-Originating-IP: followed by an IP address, that is the sender's IP address
- If that doesn't work, look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets [ ]
- If you have multiple Received: from headers, eliminate the ones that have proxy.anyknownserver.com



a) Log into your AOL Mail AIM account with your username and password.

b) Open the email that you want to track.

c) On the top row, click on Action and in the drop-down menu, select View Message Source



















d) It opens a new page with the headers. Once you have the headers, look for the IP address that follows X-AOL-IP:. That should be the IP address of the sender.


 

4) IP Address Detection Script
I wrote a Perl script to automate this task for you.


All you have to do is select your email service and copy your email headers in the box below.
You may do one of the following:You can copy all the headers from your email and paste them here.
In this case, the unnecessary headers (like Subject:) will be removed automatically.
You can remove all headers except those beginning with


X-Originating-IP: Received



3) Finding IP address in AOL
- You should see the email headers now.
