So would this work if you had a limited account and you tried to change an admins password? If I forgot my password for this account then I would have to try to get by using the limited account.
You can also use programs like distro live from linux on cd or usb and discover the password simply rebooting your pc and select the boot from cd or usb!!
Liam_CF, you would not be able to change the admin password, you have to be an admin in the first place. But, on the linux subject, you could boot linux, get the SAM files off the computer, and then get a SAM file cracker to figure out the password. This will not work on a school domain, for those of you at school. You would only be able to change the local password, not the domain password. ( I think) correct me if I'm wrong.
Wow, thats brilliant, I have tried to do that before, I know you can edit a database file with the passords in it. ive done that bbefore, but never used command prompt for it!. brilliant thread!!
The quickest way to get a password protection system up and running is to use a Prompt box in
JavaScript that has a title like "Enter your Email Address". Only you and the relevant users know
what the password should be, could even be one each, that can be sorted out at the next page then
pass the "input" directly through the url by changing the .href, like
http://www.iSource.net.nz/users/?leTmeIn= The page that then processes this should also check for
the referring page, and three fails from an IP if you like the php (the next page): CODE

This topic will explain how you can view who's currently connected to your computer and how to
view your main computer settings for internet usability. Note: this will probably be pretty basic
stuff to people who are into computers, but this is likely to help for those people who are

people co-author with you, but still need some posts to be restricted (more of a bloggers'
privacy issue). First Step : Download the Post Levels Plugin from http://fortes.com/projects....
