Heck we can even make it so the machine logs in as the Administrator automatically!
So here’s how you do it.
Grab your CD along with its CD key and boot to your media.
Go ahead and press any key.
Let Windows do its thing and start.
We willnot format or lose any dataif you follow my explicit instructions.
I was amazed when I got this to work and also sickened by how insecure workstations can be!
If this is you then you know what to do already - F6 and point it to the drivers.
Another few minutes will pass by and Windows setup will say that it is starting Windows.
Be forewarned - DO NOT HIT THE R KEY ON THE NEXT SCREEN.
We will be hitting Enter to start the installation.
So hit Enter to set up Windows and continue.
The agreement pops up hit the F8 key to continue.
Andhit the R key!
Yes, here is where you will hit that key to repair the installation.
The process rewrites all the system files and what not.
This took about 4 minutes on my machine.
When the machine restarts DO NOT BOOT FROM THE CD!
DO NOT HIT A KEY TO BOOT FROM YOUR CD!
Take the CD out of the drive if you think this is going to be an issue for you.
Once the computer starts back up it will jump into the installer.
Using some basic command line kung fu we typecontrol userpasswords2and we can do whatever we want to.
it’s possible for you to get at anything from this command prompt you have full root/administrator access!
after you snag the user accounts control panel up, you could add, modify or remove users.
Promote a user to administrator status or what have you.
Remember only use this for good and not evil.
