Adam Boileau, a security consultant from New Zealand released a utility to unlock a Windows PC in seconds bypassing the standard Login/Password requirement, The utility named "Winlockpwn" makes use of a vulnerability in Windows handling of Firewire port, the hacker needs to physically connect a Linux based computer to the victims Firewire port and execute a command in order to get unrestricted access to the victim's PC, The need of Firewire port and physical access to the computer makes the hack difficult to execute and less potent.
The hack was first demonstrated at a security conference in Sydney in 2006, but Microsoft seems not to taking this seriously and has not yet released a fix for this.

hi
hi and welcome
how can i hakks facebook ip ??

Hi
Hello and Thank You
Winlockpwn
The only "good" thing about this utility not being a major threat (and probably why Microslop doesn't seem to take it too seriously), is that since a physical connection to the Windows PC being hacked is required, that makes it a bit more difficult to accomplish. I mean, how many hackers carry around a Linux computer with them when hacking into a system or network?
uhhh
Yeah, firewire had a very odd DMA thing going on, where in certain conditions can have full access to RAM, any OS is vulnerable to attacks of this type unless they implement things to restrict (read: slow down) the access. And to the person who last commented, what else would hackers carry around when walking in the front door of a company? And have you every heard of the eeePC, do you know how easy that is to tuck in a large pocket or under your belt?
where

Wow...
Lies. I am 13 and have hacked, and by that I mean completely bypassed the password field, of over 100 Windows computers. Modern, too... Think before you speak. And on a side note, you are not Microsoft. If you were, you would know these back doors, and not talk so arrogantly.

Thank you.you can also try my methods
here is the methods I know.
The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account "Administrator" and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget Your user account password then try this:
Start system and when you See Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it'll show Classic Login box. Now type "Administrator" (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts".
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.
Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover forgotten Password by using "Reset Disk". If you created a Password Reset Disk in Past, you can use that disk to reset the password.
Thank you!!
If you forget the administrator’s password but still can log on Windows with other user names that have administrative privileges, you may follow the instructions below:
Right click the computer icon on your desktop, select Manage, find Local Users and Groups, unfold Users folder, right click Administrator, click Set password… in the menu comes up. Click Proceed in the dialog, in the pop-up, enter a New Password and confirm it. Your administrator’s password is successfully reset.
Guest account may help to log onto Windows, but it has no privilege for you to do the above to reset the administrator’s password.
If you forgot all user passwords and failed to log onto Windows, there is no other way but to format the OS and reinstall Windows, or resort to sort of software tools to remove the password and log onto Windows. These programs cost some bucks, but are worthy and better than to reinstall the OS causing consequences. The most popular programs are Windows Password Reset 6.0 etc. Generally, these programs are easy to use though turn out to be a scary command prompt to newbie. But do relax and you can fully manipulate. Let’s take Windows Password Reset 6.0 for example. You prepare a blank CD, burn the program onto the CD, boot the locked computer from the CD, come to initiate the program, locate the user name, and proceed to remove its password – all are at ease.
This awesome thanks bro
