[menghua84]

ok guys.. wana share something wit u guys here.. last nite my fren done a windows update on her laptop.. windows xp home edition.. so after install the updates the windows just restarted... n then the funny thing came.... she can't even log into the windows cos the windows created a password for her log in.. which she never had any password for windows b4.. strange huh?? so i asked her to log into safe mode n try the admin account.. n then~ the admin account is with password also!!
just wana know.. is there any update may result something like this? cos i nvr heard of anything like this.. seems to me she just got hacked or someone just kacau her laptop.. played wit her la.. but this is serious man.. there's ntg u can do if ur log in account is protected by password that u dun even know of..

so anyone know any solution to this? just wana know if it really happens again.. ;)

its could be microsoft security action on pirated copies of WinXP

 

[szekeiemme]

hahaha pirated stuff dun smartly do stuff..

Aiya, use ERD 2003 or 2004 to crack the password.

Or you can also use Passware 6.3 to create a bootable floppy or CD ISO image and use it to boot up the disabled system to reset the Administrator password.

Same method used to recover data dead systems.

hmm...this result those pirated users cant update their WinXP

 

[acbc]

Always use corporate editions of Windows XP.

there are alot of hidden users in windows xp if u care to mock around in your registry around H_KEY_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\Userlist

What error did it came out? Was it something about password error, or parameter errors? If its password error, you can use a password recovery boot disk to boot it up and reset. If its parameter errors, you got to reinstall winblows.

ERD 2003 or 2004 can be found via google. Yes it does work very well...

What I'm trying to say is, after she enters the password in the box, and press enter, what is the error. Either a parameter error or a password error.

We can expect either 1 of them.

Yes, the security boot disc can open any Windows PC as long as I have physical access to it.

 

[menghua84]

its password error... last known config can fix it? gosh should ask her did tat.. she dun hav the audio n video drivers.. hai~!
