Re: HOW CAN i GET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD?


Which administrator? Local administrator on your workstation? On a remote
system? Domain Administrator?

The typical way of learning what the admin password is requires you to first
hack either admin or system-equivalent privileges on the target machine (or
have physical access to be able to reboot the system with a special boot
disk), then use a tool to extract and brute force crack the SAM.

It is also possible to use a password cracking tool that allows you to sniff
network traffic and hope that you can observe the process of the
administrator logging in across the network, then brute force guess the
hashed password. But being able to install a sniffer again usually involves
having the ability to log in as administrator, or boot with a special boot
disk, or plug in a new system under your control onto the network.

It is easier to reset the admin password, than to learn what the current
password is.

Where and why exactly are you looking to get the admin password? I assume
you have a legitimate reason for doing so?

Its Local Administrator,
i have a privet local network, so i have my PC which is Admin and 16
computers which i
create a User with special permission to access their Desktop.

so, i just wanted to use their PC which i logged as a User and learn
to get Admin password
on that PC, or if it easier to reset the Admin paasword
so, tell me which one is possible and what is the procedures ?

thanks for your help!
