Hacking/Modding school computers

I need help Unblocking Regedit or command prompt, but mainly obtaining the admin username and password on a school computer..

I've tried just about everything: Notepad, RUN, xvi32, and many more methods but nothing seems to work.

Last year it was easier to access these things, but its not as easy anymore. They block almost everything and it's nearly impossible. If anyone here is a pro hacker and can give me some help I would really appreciate it :stirthepot:

Thanks!

EDIT: Burning two disks tonight; OPHcrack, and PogoStick. I will unplug the ethernet cable (lesser chance of IT catching me :ninja:), use a paperclip to open the disk drive, and then try booting OPHcrack/PogoStick to crack the password. I'll also be trying GodMode (will post pics this Friday ;))!

EDIT: Comp doesn't let you boot from USB or CD (disabled by admin)…. Looking for ways to obtain the admin pass now, help would be really nice :(

If you get caught you will be kicked out of school, well that happened to me anyway

I corrupted around 250 hard drives which was around 3/4s of the schools computers :f:

Ouch… why would you even do that?
I mean, I could surely use a linux live cd to boot into school computers and erase system32, but I'm not doing that because it's just vandalism.

if they're running XP then it's simple. Check out ophrack. Torrent all the rainbow tables for it.

This. Also works for windows 7/vista. I find the brute force is pretty weak though so it will only work if your admin sucks at making passwords, (either too simple or too short.)

Haha when was in Middlesbrough school I got the teachers password and I was able to change my grades but I was also able to use the automated call that teachers used and I always use to program it to say that I was an outstanding student. Lol

If it is windows (could work on mac too but idk), just unplug it, boot it into safe mode, and everything will be unlocked. Not admin access, but you will have access to cmd and other programs.

I'd just play around with it, if it were me. I was REALLY good friends with the IT guy at my school, so I got free roam (Because I knew what I was doing.) He trusted me, lol. I'd scare some kids, and partition the hard drive, and when they booted it up, it was a black screen asking for which partition to use. Never kicked out of school once. I'd got the WiFi password to my routers, and I'm selling it for $5. I've made about $40 so far.

Use a VPN to by-pass internet restrictions. Only some of them work.

If it's windows XP, use the Godmode Trick.

If all else fails, use RDP.

My school's setup so far:
All XP on a single server.
No access to anything but you can use extensions to make things like CMD (but even then you can't do anything).
There is only 1 admin and the password is super hard.
All proxies and untrusted programs are blocked.
With CMD I can ublock the untrusted programs, but from there I can't really do anything?

Is there a trick to getting past admin?

They are running in Windows 7, and they disabled the disk drive :/, unless there is another way to get it open. I tried running oph once with a virtual drive (daemon tools) but for some reason It doesn't let me mount the iso file. Thanks for the help though.

GodMode trick seems to work on my comp, I'll try that..

I'll check out RDP too, thanks! :norris:


Guys I'm not trying to change my grades or change the school lunch, I just want admin privileges.. Its something I've always wanted to do, and If i get suspended then so be it lol :fiery:. -Still looking for help!

Me and some other kids at my home school used to figure out the password to bypass the schools filtration system so we could access any site we wanted to. It was pretty fun actually, the IT tech would make a new one, we'd figure it out, he'd make another one, we'd figure it out again in a few days. Nobody really figured out who was finding the passwords out anyways. ;)

Use OPHCrack or BackBox Linux.
If above stuff won't help, try this http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

Edit. I can make a video how to use Pogostick Reset stuff if you wan't.

Why want admin priviliges? Free internet should be sufficient. Look at the proxy in IE, my old work had proxy port 8081 for employees and 8080 for bosses etc. Sometimes the simple things work :)

You can also get backtrack Linux to boot on USB, which might be the simplest thing for full admin rights, if you want you can hack into the rest of the network if you got enough skill. It will take alot of time though. You can't spend a few hours on a school computer running backtrack without anyone noticing. You need to know quite alot of things about linux/backtrack too. When the school has been succesfull in blocking all things, which it seems they are, they probably have a decent secure network.

Well, destroying school property is just a waste of local tax dollars. Altering information, however, is a different thing altogether.

If you're just out to vandalize school property, get a very powerful magnet. This will be sure to really mess some stuff up. Very easy to do. You didn't hear it from me though.

I can go on youtube, even RS on school if I wanted to, https://www.12345proxy.net, https://runescape.com/game.ws

Its not about getting past the internet, just having admin rights. I'll look into backtracking though, thanks!

Who said anything about destroying school property O_O, still nice info.. just in-case I ever want to vandalize.. :cartman:


-For those who want to help, the disk drive wont open up for any computer, unless there is another way to get it open, or using a virtual disk mounting program (which I think doesn't work either), there is no other way ;/ I'm willing to try anything!

OPHcrack and other similar password crackers are mainly used as a CD iso images but there are tutorials on how to boot them off a USB. The main thing is that you need bios access before you can change it to boot off a USB, whereas most computers will automatically try to boot of a CD. If you can unplug the computer you should be able to though, look for things like "press F2 to enter bios settings" when you reboot the computer. After that just change booting priority to USB. Be sure to change it back after though.

a cd drive can easily be opened with a paperclip. simply insert it into the hole and push(oh god)

If your school is running lanschool, there is some neat stuff you can "find".

Basicaly, lanschool IS a keylogger.

There is a file called "lskdata.bin" in program files (it can sometime be stored somewhere else, just check the obvious places). This is where LanSchool stores the last 50,000 keypresses.
It is encrypted, but it's only a slightly modified substitution cipher (in other word… sh*t ecryption)

Anything people where stupid enough to type on that computer is in that file: paypal account, credit card number, social security number, countless facebook account, gmail account… you name it.

Enough said. If you are serious about this you'll find the rest yourself.

PS: You need programming knownledge to decrypt the file. Don't even waste your time if you can't program.

Just tried it. I'm on a school computer as I write this.. The comp doesn't let you boot from CD or USB… GodMode is good for getting to cirtain places (like changing password, etc.) but without the admin pass you aren't able to do any of it.. any other ideas :'{?

Did you unplug it then pressF1, F2, F3, F4, Del? That is how I enter bios settings on my comp, by pressing del when it has just started to boot up.

The Bios setup is locked, unless I enter the admin pass I can't tamper with any of it :/. I can see the option where it says boot from diskette and its turned off. :closedeyes:

Since you are at a school, I am guessing you are connected to a domain.

What I would try doing is once you enter your username and password, (wait 3 seconds) pull out the Ethernet connection (this will stop Group Policy from locking down your account)

You should then have local admin rights to the computer

From there you should be able to change the administrator password.

Well the backdoor password says to try "Dell", but it didn't work. The computer I'm on is a Dell Optiplex 755. There is a blue cable I can unplug from the motherboard to remove the password, but each computer has a Master lock.. and even if I do get it open my teacher will def notice me XD
