How to become the system user in windows and take the SAM file

Windows generally have three types if users wiz. user, administrator, system user. We users only have access to first two users and system user is like the root user in linux. Microsoft does not give us option to function as system user, that means we are not the sole owner of the windows, as we cannot use it as root.

So, here is the way to become the system user of our windows and do whatever we want. In my previous blogs I have mentioned that windows passwords are stored in SAM file in c:\windows\system32\config and we cannot view it or copy or delete it. But once we become the system user we can manipulate this file also. Now you may got the essence of system user.

Here are the steps to become the system user and take home the SAM file.

1. Download psexec.exe from sysinternal

2. Place it your C drive(or drive in which your windows is installed)

3. Open the cmd.exe and type cd \ . It will place you in the root directory where psexec is placed.

4. Use the following command   psexec -i -s cmd.exe

where -i for interactive

          -s for system account

5. When the command completes cmd shell will launched then type whoami, it will say "system"

6. Now, open the task manager and kill the explorer.exe

7. From thr cmd shell that is currently opened type start explorer.exe

8. When the explorer is launched, notice the name "system" as the user. Now you can delete or copy files in the windows\system32 folder which were not possible when your either admin or normal user.

9. Now you can also copy SAM file and extract hashes from it.

How to hack windows password

There are various ways out there, by which we can hack the windows password. In windows, after the windows NT, mircrosoft have changed the way of security for the windows password. Now the password is  stored in a file in the registry, which can easily be accessed by the user but cannot be opened. The password is stored in a file named SAM.

The file is present in following directory.
C:\Windows\System32\config

As you can see the file named SAM is present which have password for all users.
When we try to open this file, it will show a message and it won't open.

Now, in order to hack the password we just need to replace this file by some other file which can easily achieved by running some other OS in the system and replace this file from the SAM file of some other computer. The other OS which can be used are quite a long list, anyway we'll use ubuntu.
Follow the following steps

1. Copy the SAM file of some computer in removable storage like pendrive or flash drive.
2. Make bootable pendrive or disk of ubuntu by using any software.
3. Insert the bootable in the computer to be hacked and boot the OS(you may need to change the boot order of the machine from the BIOS of the system).
4. Now choose try ubuntu and then it will boot up.
5. Open the directory in which SAM file is present and delete that and now copy the file taken from other computer in place of the file.
6. shutdown and restart the computer.

Now when you boot the windows, the user name from other computer will appear and password will be of the other computer. And now you can easily access the system without the use of old password.

You can use any other OS in place of ubuntu. I have used ubuntu beacuse its free and easily avaliable.

Hope it works for you, feel free to comment below if you encounter any problem.

How to change the password of computer even at log on screen and hence by pass the password.

There are various methods of hacking around the world developed by developers. These methods are sometimes applicable in all systems while some of the methods are for specific systems only.

Therefore another step of hacking is dependent of a very simple concept. When we press shift key for 5-6 times continuiosly then sticky key comes up. So this process of hacking involves changing that sticky key window with the command prompt and then change the password of the computer by following the process I explained in my last post

Now the only thing you have to do is to change the sticky key into the command prompt in the log on screen. But in order to change it you should had used the computer before and do the trick so that you can easily by pass the log on screen by removing/changing the password. So for this hack to happen you must had used the computer before.

So you should perform the following steps as follows.

1. Go to windows and then system32.

2. Find the file named cmd.exe

3. Copy this file to desktop and rename it to sethc.exe

4. If it show some kind of error then u should gain the full control of the file through the security tab of properties, to do it follow these sub steps.
     (a). Right click on the file and then click properties.
     (b). Switch to security tab then click on advanced and then gain full control of the file by changing the permissions of the file and make it to administrator control.

5. Then copy the file to the system32 and see the magic.

And now when you tab shift several times you will find command prompt opening up even at log on screen.

And now after opening the command prompt you can easily change the password of the computer.
