You guys shouldn't be giving this type of information out . In some cases this information could be used in a VERY wrong way .

It's freely available info matey. You can find it everywhere. It has real applications. Yes, it can be abused, but that's how things are. Just like anything else.

You can freely buy soft to grab all the licences from a machine. Log user input, plant software to take over a machine etc.
Such is the stupid position these days, finding the Admin login is a drop in the ocean by comparison.

Even still it doesn't make it right . In some cases your helping a thief .

By informing somebody how to format a hard drive, I may be helping them to commit an illegal act if that drive contains evidence, but how do I know?
Should I therefore refrain from helping people find out how to do HD related ops just in case they will use the info for bad uses?

In my view, the question of Admin login retrieval is of a nature that allows me to answer it. Based on the fact I once needed to know myself for a friends PC.

No you shouldn't . Its very appreciated when you do but there should be a point of degree .

BTW I'm not pointing the finger a just you . Anybody that gives this type of information out .

He asking to crack

Crack, find, recover, replace. Different term, same question. End result is the same.

Anybody that gives this type of information out .

It's so routine to "recover" passwords these days, even respected establishments and people tell all.

Unless people tell you the "truth" as to why they're wanting to get a password, recover a machine, download a program etc, then we're just the middle man/woman just passing on helpful information. But we all should know the legal and illegal side of the law. So passing on information that will help to cure a fault, then so be it, but if it's illegal, or if it sounds dodgy, then we don't help, simple?

What is Microsoft policy on this type of matter ?

[Kevin_gibson]

Microsoft will provide info, as long as it's basic, and it won't affect anybody personally due to the DPA

This has been discussed on so many security forums.

It's protocol to not give advice/help, etcetera to these type of issues in general, IMO.

[Disk_Contented]

It is a grey area IMHO. Common sense has to prevail.
Depends on the circumstances.

Password recovery applications will allow you to access SAM pass words, admin and user or to wipe all.
What shouldn`t be given is specifics,i.e if it is a Dell then it may have Eprom chip and password recovery disc wouldn`t be of any use at all.?
Then they would have to find out how to flash that sort of security chip.
It could get costly if they start D.I.Y and if it was to bypass someone else's security it would be unconscionable so specifics should be avoided,then it cannot come back to bike site admin in the rectum.

windows password recovery tool -allows you to find,replace or use any passwords for access ,unless systems are protected by Eprom chip.
I dont give lnks for this application or sites for flashing info.sorry.
Information only given as an engineering operation.

[Kevin_gibson]

No! if you want help cracking an admin password, look elsewhere. You have the Internet, you have plenty of resources

[Embolism]

Exactly the point Google it. (:^D)
