1. Download Kon-Boot ISO and burn to CD. (Its only a few KB in size)
(Link:http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/)
(If you don't know how to burn ISO images to a CD, write it in the comments and
I will write a tutorial very soon)2. Insert the Kon-Boot CD that you just burned and boot the computer with the CD.
You will need to configure the BIOS to start up the computer with CD.
(Most modern PC's don't require anything and its pretty easy too,
if needed, write it in comments if you need help)3. A kryptos login splash screen appears.
Youll need to hit enter to continue or else the screen will stay there.
Kon-Boot login windows without password4. Kon-Boot will tell you that it is ready to hax0R in. (Kewl huh?)
It will check SMAP BIOS entries, detect dummy BIOS, and fix SMAP entries.
KonBoot login to password protected windows5. Windows will now load as normal.6. When the Log On to Windows box appear, simply type anything in the password box and youre in!
You can even leave the password field blank.Do take note that Kon-Boot does NOT modify any of your files.
If you boot up the computer the next time without Kon-Boot CD
and try to login using any password, youll get the error
The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct,
then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case.Ive scanned Kon-Boot ISO image file in VirusTotal and so far only Kaspersky,
F-Secure and Microsoft detected it as a threat. For testing purposes,change password of linux and windows 7
Ive installed and updated Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 on my desktop computer,
then used Kon-Boot to login to a password protected account.
I am still able to login and Kaspersky did not find any suspicious activity.Kon-Boot is free, small and very useful! In my opinion,
it is so far the BEST tool to login to Windows without password today.
Think carefully of what youre going to do because you will lose friends, job, trust
and etc if youre caught breaking in to Windows without permission and remember
I don't take any responsibility.Here is a Sample Console output of what it will look like -Ubuntu 8.04 torpeda tty1
