Vista Hax

So my mom, in a fit of Cunty McBitch-ness, asked me for my password to get onto my computer.

Being trusting, kind, and not knowing that she was gonna be a fucking bitch, I gave it to her.

She goes on and changes the Admin rules as a way to "teach me to be more mature and responsible" because I don't go to church/believe in God and I "watch trash like The Office."

How about if you treat me like an adult I'll fucking act like one?

I'm no longer admin of my own computer, a computer that she should have no control over and that I allowed her access to out of the kindness of my heart because she left her laptop at my uncle's house.

There's time limits, content filters, activity logs and all this other bullshit. I can't access any of my files, I can't even open Mozilla cause its not allowed by the Admin. I can't install a neccessary Flash update that keeps popping up.

Please help me get around this.

She had no right to do this to my personal property.

I'm gonna try and do a system restore to an earlier date but I can't find my Vista disk at the moment.

I'm so pissed right now I'm contemplating formatting my entire hard drive but I just did that a month ago and I don't want to lose all of my files/go through the hassle again.

Wow. Seriously? Wow.

Yeah, and I allow it to corrupt my sister's eyes and soul.


Edit: And I just found out she put parental controls on the DVR/Dish. That I pay for.

:lol:

seriously, i would try talking up face to face with her about it first, but of course you are in tech talk to you probably want an alternatice.

i have no idea how to get back into your computer, but if youre into revenge, then teamviewer.com (free easy to use remote access program) could work...
there are functions on it to stop all receiving input, effectively freezing the mouse and keyboard of the recipient, remotely controlling everything that happens on the other end, and completly blacking out the screen.

this is of course an extreme, and only works once, but i love screwing with peoples heads while using it. :D

EDIT: how old are you? im relating to you more and more :)

I've spent the past hour trying to talk with her.

She got mad and said if I didn't drop it she's gonna pack my shit and take me to the City Mission(a place where homeless drug addicts go to spend their nights).


I'm not into doing anything like that on my computer. I just want to get control over my own property and lock her out of it for good.

arrgh, alright, well im sorry i cant be of any help, good luck though!

In Windows, the user "Administrator" has full access to everything
Change the Administrator password to anything you want
Login as Administrator, and change the admin rules for your username back
reboot into your account

I don't agree with what she did. She is a bitch for doing so.

But who bought the computer? You refer to it as "my property" but is it really?

Anyhow, Ynot's solution should work.

And while you're at it, you could just install linux =P. Give her the password to that and just watch her TRY to screw with it.

The Linux solution (on recovering the password) won't work on Vista as far as I know. Let's try something funnier and more interesting.

Elis D, how much access do you have? Are you on a secondary User account with limited priviledges, or did she just royally screw the administrator account?. Can you launch CMD with the Start -> Run command? If so, then there's a bunch of things we're gonna try out. I would also like the names of the programs she installed.

Yeah I just received intel that it works on Vista.

Full support for Vista (both 32 & 64 bit) were added in version 0.99.4 of chntpw, released April 2007

Here's some more boot-disc hax. This one should be slightly easier to operate than the linux solution.

this is a linux solution (just a specially crafted liveCD)
but anyhow

I didn't say it wasn't a linux solution :)

Hell go to the City Mission, it would be an interesting experiance. Its a good thing my mom isn't that tech savy. And yea... so how old are you? Move out if your 18, you can become a hobo. ^__^

It doesn't matter who bought it. If you buy something and then give it to someone else as a gift, it then belongs to them.

I'm kinda wary of doing bootdisc hacks, as I don't know much about computers other than the basics. Is that safe?

I opened up setup last night in hopes to do a system restore, but that wasn't available. I found the Administrator password(not her User admin) and changed it there, but I have no way to log in with it.

Yeah, she renamed my original account and changed the password. She then created a secondary account with limited privileges. And I just checked and I can run CMD.

I didn't buy it, but it was a gift given to me by my father who doesn't live with us.

Haha, but then I'd have to screw with it. I'm not nearly tech savvy enough to use Linux.

Best advice is: move out and come to the north :P

Oh, you gotta try this:

I'm sorry that it's in danish, but the positions of different menues and options should be the same. Brugere = Users.

Also, I dunno whether the box is checked or unchecked, but make it what it isn't (if it's checked, then uncheck it and vice versa)

Once you're done with that, then log-off and there should be a third account, log onto it. From there you should be able to do a bunch of things. I'm doubt you can do all this though, but you might aswell try.

About the entire boot-disc business, it's very simple and you should be able to do it, just follow the tutorials given. The solution I gave should be the easiest.

I bet you were brought up with your parents telling you that all your toys, personal effects, clothing, and even you yourself belonged to your parents.

And we wonder why people go on shooting sprees.

I'm working on that. Once I get a job I'm moving to a friend's apartment, and once I graduate I'm either going up to Canada or out to California.

I couldn't get in there, but thanks anyway, maybe I'll be able to hop on her name when she get's up from the computer and do it quickly. She tends to walk away from the computer a lot.

Yeah that's what I was always told. Never given privacy or anything like that. I'm still not even allowed to have a doorknob on my bedroom door, and for a few years I wasn't allowed to have a door, I had a shower curtain up at my door. The utter lack of privacy in my house really fucks with me. I mean just yesterday my mom went through my wallet and found a condom and she freaked out at me.

It's super ghey.

Well, I consulted with a friend of mine, and your best bet is the bootdiscs, if you want to recover your administrator account and lock your mother out of your computer in a fast and relatively easy way.

There might be another way also though. If you're using FireFox (and she is too), you should be able to go to Functions, Preferences, Security, Stored Passwords, Show Passwords.

That'll show you all passwords stored in the browser. I doubt this would work from your limited account, but if you can access your mothers account for just a minute when she's away, that should be enough time to write down the code and get out of there.

A keylogger is also a possibility, though I'm not sure as to how the log-in screen for Windows is configured, and I definitely wouldn't find it surprising if it had its own seperate writing-engine, to make sure that no programs running can see or interrupt the writing.

So yeah, try the FireFox thing, or just use bootdiscs.

Your right about the keylogger not working. i tried to use a keylogger to get my dads password...it records everything EXCEPT whats typed in a password box.

Oh and, by the way, you could also download a portable system-emulation program, emulate another Windows inside your Windows installation. If you have unlimited request range through your internet connection, that means you'd have all the control you want in that emulated system. Ofcourse, it would be slow, difficult to setup and your mom would still be in control of your computer, which I for instance would not, under any circumstances or reasoning from her part, let myself underlay.

Erh, did you try booting in safe-mode? From what I've heard, you can get into that system without a password, and from there you should be able to make your own administrator account, or mess around with hers. Also, put a password on while you're there, so that she can't get it. Safe-mode has higher priviledges.
