I was asked for the simplest way to hack a computer that had password protection. There are actually many reasons that a person would need this and many of them are actually legal. Just a hint, if you plan on using this for any illegal activity then you are simply a moron that needs to get a life.
The software you will need is called Ophcrack and you can download it free HERE.
I would suggest that you use the "liveCD" version.
Now get ready, this is NOT difficult.
1) Download the software
2) Burn to a CD
3) Set the computer you wish to Hack to boot from a CD. This can usually be found in the BIOS/CMOS setting of your computer.
4) Boot off the CD you burned
5) Choose graphical interface
6) Wait any where from 1 minute to 20 minutes and you will have the password.
Pros
- Software is free for download online
- Passwords are recovered automatically using the LiveCD method
- No software installation is necessary to recover passwords
- No knowledge of any existing passwords is needed
- Ophcrack works with Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP
Cons
- Passwords with more then 14 characters can not be cracked.
This is a great piece of software but PLEASE use only as a responsible adult would.
