How to Hack Computer Passwords

Here are 2 ways to change passwords on a Windows XP computer if you have "forgotten" the password

Steps
If you are logged on to an account with administrative privileges, you can change user passwords using the following steps:

Click on the green Start button and click Run. Then type cmd into the text box and press Enter.
Type net user [Username of the Account] * (e.g. net user Administrator *) then press Enter. Make sure you spell the username correctly, and you have the "*" after the username.
Type in what you would like to reset the password to, then press Enter. Type it in again and press Enter.

If you are logged out of the computer and cannot figure out the password at the start up screen, do the following: (this typically only works on Windows XP Home Edition)

Restart the computer and tap the F8 button repeatedly while your computer starts up.
You will get a screen with a list of options. You need to either choose Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Press Enter to confirm your selection.
After waiting a while for all the drivers to load (all the scrolling stuff), you will get the Welcome Screen, where you choose an account to log into. We know that the other accounts you can't get into, but there should be a new account called Administrator.
Click on the Administrator account and then use the first procedure to reset someone's password.

How to Googlewhack

Googlewhacking is a game, played on Google, where you try to search something that only gets 1 hit, 'the perfect 1'.

Steps

  1. First of all, some rules.
    • You can only use two words.
    • No proper nouns.
    • They have to be real words.
    • Proper spellings only (you might want to check your phrase on Word or something before whacking)
    • The words must appear in Google's dictionary (if they do, then they'll be underlined in blue at the top of the page after you search)
    • No putting quotes around the words.
    • Google gives you a little blurb of the page that the words came up on. If it's just a list of words that the two happen to appear in, then that page doesn't count.
  2. Go to Google. (obviously)
  3. Enter a two word phrase of your choice.
  4. See how many hits come up!
  5. If you get more than, say, 100, then modify your phrase or start with new words!

How to Register a Domain Name

Web sites allow people to share their lives or services with almost anyone on the planet. When the Internet first gained popularity, only a handful of people felt comfortable building web sites. While most professional sites today rely on professional web designers, anyone can build a web site and share any part of his life -- personal or professional -- with the world. To share information on your own web site, though, you’ll have to register a domain name. Registering a domain name isn’t as daunting as it may sound; thanks to the Internet, registering a domain name takes only minutes.

Steps

  1. Select a tentative domain name. This name will go between the www. and the .com (or .net, or .org or .whatever).
    • It’s a good idea to come up with several possible names for a web site. Many names are already in use. Also, remember that a hyphen can make the difference between availability and unavailability. For example, while www.MyWebSite.com might not be available, www.My-Web-Site.com might be up for grabs.
    • Don’t rule out a .org or .net or other suffix like .name, .mobi, .tv, .biz, .info, .tel or .pro. Anyone can purchase domain names with these suffixes, so if www.AwesomeClothingForYourDog.com is unavailable, try www.AwesomeClothingForYourDog.tel instead.
  2. Go to www.NetworkSolutions.com and see what domain names are available. Network Solutions maintains not only a list of what domain names people can still buy, they also offer alternative available domain names in case the one you want is taken.
    • Try out a few different domain names. Double-check the spelling of every word before committing to paying to register a domain name.
    • A domain name will identify your business or hobby for a long time, so look at the way it reads. For example, www.WeAreMu.com may just denote a fraternity, but it can also read “Wear Emu,” which may cause confusion or protests from animal activists.
  3. Pay for the selected domain name. Network Solutions offers different levels of services.
    • Purchase only the services you need. Network Solutions offers packages that will help market a web site or even design it. These services, while helpful, aren't necessary. All anyone must spend is the cost of actually purchasing the domain name.

How to Create a Wireless Network

Computer networking is a great way to collaborate with other computer users in your home or office. While it is becoming increasingly easy for the basic computer user, it can still be a difficult, frustrating experience for many people.


Steps

  1. If buying router and adapter separately, ensure your wireless router is at least as new as your wireless adapter so that they use compatible standards (known as 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n). For maximum compatibility choose Tri-mode or dual-mode 802.11b/g standards.
  2. If you are not using Windows XP, check that drivers are available for the chipset of the wireless adapter for your operating system before you buy.

Set up your new router

  1. If you want to share a broadband connection via a wireless router, plug the new wireless router into your internet connection point (filter/splitter if ADSL, directly into phone socket if DSL)
  2. If you have one, turn on your broadband connection and existing external modem FIRST (wait for all lights to return to normal).
  3. Plug your router into your PC with an ethernet cable
  4. Turn on your new wireless router SECOND (wait for it to start up fully).
  5. Go to your internet browser and type http://192.168.0.1 (Belkin), http://192.168.1.1 (Linksys), http://192.168.2.1 (Others) and enter your username and password for your router (often this is "admin" for username and "admin" or "password" for password)
  6. Enable wireless capability (SSID) and enter your username and password given to you by your internet service provider.
  7. Choose WPA (or WEP if your card cannot handle WPA) security and enter a passkey and write it down.

Detecting your wireless adapter

  1. Note the manufacturer and model of your wireless adapter then plug it into your PC.
  2. If your operating system does not recognise the wireless adapter then get drivers from any discs that came with the adapter or, failing that, from the internet.
  3. In Windows XP, either right click on the .inf file and click install, or enter Device Manager and Update Drivers on the Unknown Device.
  4. Once Windows XP recognises your wireless device it should appear in Network Connections and offer you a choice of routers to connect to within range.

Connecting to a network

  1. Choose your router (usually the manufacturer name aka SSID), the security method and enter the passkey in order to connect to it. Use Auto DHCP unless otherwise instructed.
  2. This should find the wireless router (click refresh until it does) and connect to the network through the new router.
