How to Create Hidden User Account (Hide User Account from Welcome Screen) in Windows: http://efreedom.com/Question/3-87648/Create-Hidden-Admin-Account-Windows-Vista •Run Registry Editor (RegEdit.exe). •Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList Note: If SpecialAccounts and UserList is not found, create new sub-key and name them accordingly. •Select UserList, and in the right pane, right click on any blank space, and point to New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. •Name the new DWORD registry value name as the exact same name that match the name of the user account to be hidden. •Double click on DWORD registry value, and set the value data to 0 in order to hide the account from Welcome Screen Tip: To display the user account on Welcome Screen again so that it’s visible again, delete the registry entry, or set the value data to 1. •Exit Registry Editor. •Log off or restart computer to make the change effective. In order to login into Windows using an user account that has made hidden and invisible, just press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Windows Logon dialog, and then type in the user name and password manually. EDIT The above worked well under XP, but under Vista Ctrl-Alt-Del has been suppressed. So to be able to logon to this hidden account, you'll need to return Vista to the classic Logon screen, where user names are typed-in rather than clicking on icons. This is also done through the registry. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and change the value for "DontDisplayLastUserName" from 0 to 1. Note: Before doing any registry editing, create a system restore point just in case. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 214.

Once created double-click it and you can access the master control panel of Vista. Big Red Warning! The trick appears to work on both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder. Remove Godmode from Vista x64 Vista 64-bit does not support Godmode, if you tried it anyway it will crash your explorer.exe To repair Vista, you will have to boot up in safe mode (press f8 on boot up) and then enter the following command via the command line (cmd.exe) rd /s “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The feature is not actually even called God Mode but "All Tasks". Since the All Tasks feature is simply a shell folder you can access it a few different ways. The most direct method is to open up Explorer and type in shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} in the address bar and hit Enter. Alternatively, create a folder and name it anything.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. |

| 231. Windows Updates: Managed by your system administrator (Remove this problem) Taken from my website here: http://www.triplescomputers.com/tips.html The other day, I encountered a bizarre issue when performing a routine setup on a refurbished (read: practically brand new) Dell Studio laptop. The problem manifested itself when Windows Update was run; rather than successfully connect to the Windows Update server and download updates information, the client would return an error: Quote: Error Code 0x80072EE2 You receive updates: Managed by your system administrator This sort of behavior is expected if your PC is set to receive Windows Updates via the WSUS service; in other words, not from the standard Windows Updates servers. But this computer was all-new (a new Windows install) and had never had a group policy set related to this (at least, it wasn't supposed to have had it set)! None of the usual Windows Update repair tools corrected the problem. Luckily, however, after a bit of research and experimentation, I devised a solution. Please note that this solution should not be performed if your computer uses a Group Policy for Windows Update: Open RegEdit and navigate to HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\ Windows\WindowsUpdate Remove any and all values within this key. Most likely, the culprit is a faulty Windows Update source server. Sometimes this is the result of a latent or previous infection. Finally, download and run Microsoft Fix It 50202 (http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/?fi=50202). Try the Default settings first, and if that does not work, try Aggressive. Reboot the computer and check to see that Windows Update is working properly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This issue can occur if a certain group policy blocks the access to Windows Update. You may check below: Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press enter. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates -> Windows Component -> Windows Update. Make sure the states of all setting are Not Configured. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates-> System-> Internet Communication Management-> Internet Communication settings. Make sure the state of “Turn off access to all Windows Update features” is Not Configured. If the issue persists, as this is a Windows Update issue, I suggest discussing it in our Windows Update forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads |

| 233. Tuesday, September 4, 2007 - Go where Googlebot goes! The lesson you should have learned here is: Obviously Google can go where you can't. Can we solve this problem? Yes, we can. We merely have to convince the site we want to enter, that WE ARE GOOGLE. How then, can you disguise yourself as a Googlebot? Quite simple: by changing your browser's User Agent. Copy the following code segment and paste it into a fresh notepad file. Save it as Useragent.reg and merge it into your registry. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent] @="Googlebot/2.1" "Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html" Voila! You're done! You may always change it back again.... I know only one site that uses you User Agent to establish your eligability to use its services, and that's the Windows Update site... To restore the IE6 User Agent, save the following code to NormalAgent.reg and merge with your registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent] @="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" |

| 235. Change the Product Key on Windows http://www.techrepublic.com/article/get-it-done-change-the-product-key-on-windows-xp/5034890 You can also directly check the OS’sproduct ID by right-clicking on My Computer, clicking Properties, and selecting the General tab. The machine's product ID will be located under the Registered To section. If the ID matches either of the two models commonly associated with VLK fraud, you’ll need to obtain a valid XP product key before proceeding. None of the procedures described below will work without a legitimate product key. Two methods of changing Windows XP's product key You can change a Windows XP installation's product key either by editing the registry or by using one of two Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) scripts. The registry editing method is outlined in Knowledge Base articles 321636 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321636) and 328874 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328874) and works on Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, and Windows XP Corporate Edition. The script method is outlined in article 328874 and is designed to work on Corporate Edition installations that use a VLK and do not require activation. It may work on a Home or Professional installation, but I have not tested this scenario. The script method is the practical solution for changing the product keys on a large number of machines. Regardless of the method you choose, make sure to backup important data before changing a product ID, since an unexpected problem could render the machine unbootable and necessitate a complete reinstallation of Windows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editing the registry Begin by opening the Registry Editor and navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents In the right pane, right-click the ODBETimer binary value and select Modify. Change at least one character of this value to either a number from 0 to 9 or to a letter from A to F, then click OK and close the Registry Editor. This renders the current product key invalid and deactivates Windows. Now, it’s time to reactivate Windows using your new product key. Click Start | Run and enter the command: %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe /a where %systemroot% is your Windows directory. In many cases, this command will look like: C:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a At this point, Windows will launch the Product Activation Wizard. Select the option to telephone a Microsoft customer service representative to activate Windows, as shown in Figure A, and click Next. Now, select the Change Product Key option and enter your new product key as shown in Figure B. Finally, click Update and close the window. If Windows returns you to the previous screen, just select the Remind Me Later option. When the wizard is finished, reboot the system. When Windows reboots, your next step will depend on which Windows XP version you are using. If you have XP Home or Professional, you’ll be prompted to reactivate your copy of Windows through the normal activation process. If you have XP Corporate, no activation is required and your machine should have a valid product ID. You can verify this by running the %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a command again. When the wizard loads this time, you should see a message indicating that your copy of Windows has already been activated. |

Sure, there are a few workarounds to access your account using a bootable Linux CD but they are time consuming and boring as you need to go through a long procedure. In this guide, we will show you how to bypass a Windows 7 logon password in just two steps. And we are using a free tool to make this happen. So, here is the procedure to bypass Windows 7 logon password: 1. Download the Kon-Boot CD-ISO ZIP file (it’s a tiny file) and extract it to get the ISO file. Burn the ISO file to a CD/DVD to create a bootable Kon-Boot CD/DVD. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/ http://www.mediafire.com/?74qrm2h4oof17o7 PLEASE VERIFY THE CHECKSUM BEFORE USING THE FILES: password: kon-boot md5: 7db784fe7d7af1bbad546f9575b43c4c Use Bitser program to check the CHECKSUM About Kon-Boot Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a linux kernel (and now Windows kernel also!!!) on the fly (while booting). In the current compilation state it allows to log into a linux system as 'root' user without typing the correct password or to elevate privileges from current user to root. For Windows systems it allows to enter any password protected profile without any knowledge of the password. It was acctually started as silly project of mine, which was born from my never-ending memory problems :) Secondly it was mainly created for Ubuntu, later i have made few add-ons to cover some other linux distributions. Finally, please consider this is my first linux project so far :) Entire Kon-Boot was written in pure x86 assembly, using old grandpa-geezer TASM 4.0. Additional notes: Kon-Boot was designed to work on X86-32 architectures only! This utility was not designed to work with USB sticks, however you can try some unofficial methods to boot Kon-Boot from USB, check the USB tutorial on IronGeek or Raymond blog post. As one of my past projects for KryptosLogic Kon-Boot was moved to Windows platforms. So now it provides support for Microsoft Windows systems and also the Linux systems listed in the next sections. Kon-Boot for Windows enables logging in to any password protected machine profile without without any knowledge of the password. This tool changes the contents of Windows kernel while booting, everything is done virtually - without any interferences with physical system changes. So far following systems were tested to work correctly with Kon-Boot (however its quite possible other versions of listed Windows systems may be suitable as well): No special usage instructions are required for Windows users, just boot from Kon-Boot CD/Floppy, select your profile and put any password you want. You lost your password? Now it doesnt matter at all :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Before inserting the CD/DVD make sure that you have made necessary changes to boot priority setting in the BIOS so that you can boot from CD/DVD. Insert the CD/DVD into the optical drive and restart your machine. In a few seconds you will see the following screen of Kon-Boot. Simply hit Enter and wait for a few seconds. 3. You should see the logon screen and with a password prompt. Simply press Enter key to bypass the forgot logon password. That’s it! We have tested this tool on Windows 7 Ultimate x86, but it should work fine on XP and Vista too. Good luck! Note: Use this method and tool for your personal use only. |

How to block users from accessing your site based on their IP address Order allow, deny Deny from 192.168.0.10 Deny from 212.155. Deny from 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8 127.0.0.1 Allow from all Let’s take a look at the code line by line: The first line “Order allow, deny” tells the web server the “Order” in which the Allow and Deny directive will be evaluated. It simply says: Give access to all hosts that are not present in the Deny from list and are present in the Allow from list. With allow, deny order Allow list is looked up first and then the web server checks the deny from list. So as we have allow from all – all access is allowed. Then the allowed access is filtered based on the Deny lists. With allow,deny access is disabled by default. If we change the order to “deny, allow” then all access is enabled by default and only users in the deny lists are blocked. However as the deny is being processed first allow directives will override any maching settings set in deny directives. The default Apache order is deny,allow. So you can skip the first line in your .htaccess file if you do not need to change the order in which the Deny and Allow rules are being evaluated by the web server. So to keep the .htaccess simple you can just use: Deny from 192.168.0.10Deny from 212.155.Basically you can use such rules in your .htaccess file to block a particular user, or a network from accessing your site. You can put several IP address in a Deny or Allow rule. For example: Deny from 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.9The IP addresses must be separated by a space or tab. You can put entire networks as Deny from 212.155.This will block all users which IP addresses start with 212.155 Or to block all access to your site: Deny from allAnd then add another line to enable access only for yourself: Allow from 1.2.3.4Where “1.2.3.4” should be replaced with your computer IP address. ----------------------- I opened "notepad" and typed those lines above and saved it as .htaccess. The computer maded it a .txt file. I added it to my web page, uploaded it to my FTP then renamed it by taking out the .txt extension, which the other website said to do. Still no effect. What do I need to do here? I appreciate your help. vince Said, Mar 06, 2007 @ 09:44 Please, make sure that the file is named: .htaccess with a dot (.) at the begining ----------------------------------------- You can have a single .htaccess file per folder. However, you can add as many statements in it as you wish. If you already have a statement that makes HTML pages to work as PHP, then just add new lines for the other options that you need. ----------------------------------------- Notepad's a pain; whatever you save will have a .txt extension unless you enter the file name to save as "file.name" (*include* the quotes). For .htaccess, type ".htaccess" Remember to select 'All Files' from the 'Save as type' drop-down. Put files in "htdocs" folder ----------------------------------------- If you want to block a user by hostname you can use: Deny from example.com where you can replace the example.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/password-protection.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://devmoose.com/coding/20-htaccess-hacks-every-web-developer-should-know-about 20+ .htaccess Hacks Every Web Developer Should Know About http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/password-protection.html Using .htaccess for password protecting your folders http://www.polepositionmarketing.com/seo-sem/link-building-secrets/maurizio-petrone.php Link Building Secrets: Two Ways To Turn Your Next Image Hotlinks Into Clean Backlinks (and you choose the anchor text) http://www.wiscocomputing.com/articles/using_htaccess.htm The .htaccess file can be used on Apache servers running Linux or Unix to increase your web site security, and customize the way your web site behaves. ----------------------------------------- http://www.4webhelp.net/us/password.php Online Tools: .htpasswd Encryption Tool --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
