Are you working on a work or school computer and you are not able to install anything? Make yourself an admin and take matter in your own hands! The nerdy tech guy probably ‘disabeled’ the command prompt but here’s a workaround.
- Create a file in notepad with the following line: command.com
- Save this file as cmd.bat
- Execute the cmd.bat file and you”ll see the command prompt.
- To create a new user in command prompt: net user username /ADD
- Enter net localgroup to find out the name of the local admin group In most cases it´s administrators.
- To grant the user you have created administrative rights enter: net localgroup administrators username /ADD
- Log off and login with new username , enjoy with
administrative privileges. If you want to delete created user just type net user username /DELETE
This will come in very handy when you want to install your own software to work with on your work or school pc.

I got into the command prompt and did what you said to do to make an account. And my access was DENIED! God, I’m on a school cpu trying to get my teacher administrative rights so we can get some bloody virus scanners and stuff on this, and the IT guys have just fucked it up way to much >.<
Any ideas? I’d install Linux, but the system boots directly to the hardrive and even the BIOS is locked!

so assuming i am able to create this account without getting a access denied (im at a elementry school so they dont block much) does it give you a chance to make a password or what? cuz on the cpu you hav to type username AND password!

those who are getting system 5 error.. i’m sorry but there is no way around that unless you know some serious programming. The only way I know that is to hack into your schools server that hosts all the accounts and overide the laptop safety files using notepad… thats not to difficult but to keep from getting caught (which can usually get you expelled) you need to have a “shield” up, or in other words, overload the server by pinging it constantly while you’re editing the files, its really hard to do and even on my website I usually don’t tell people how… my website is still pretty new but all are welcome:)

Use OPHCrack to gain access to a password protected computer. Download it from the net, burn a CD with it, boot computer from CD, run the password crack utility, after it finishes you will see passwords for Admin and other accounts, write them down, eject CD, reboot computer, login to Admin account, do whatever.

Hey guys command prompt is blocked usually because of people like us but to unblock it was simply i the directions 1st you open note pad not word! word doesnt do shit! but any way you can save anything in note pad and save it to desktop as a .bat file which there you go unblocks the command prompt!

Can’t believe none of you morons have figured out how to hack into the cmd prompt of your school cpu’s. It’s simple, all you gotta do is open up notepad, type in @echo on (hit enter) command (hit enter) @echo off (hit enter)….now tell me, how friggin hard wuz that? And as far as anti-virurs scanners….you can create your own instead of paying for em, I know several people who have.

just an idea, instead of hacking the school or work operating system to get admin why not just dual boot your computer with your own operating system. The best part of that is that you it is imposable to get busted or for it. However that still will not work if you have BIOS restrictions

1.Use notepad, write “net user administrator /active:yes” (without the “”) Then save the notepad file as .bat the name does not matter.
(If you for some reason get system error 5 try booting ophcrack to get the admin pw.)
2. To use ophcrack, Bios has to be open. To remove Bios PW, you gotta open the pc, either reset CMOS using the jumper, or take out the Battery. (The small round one on the motherboard) Leave it out for about 1-2 minutes, remember to take out the laptop battery and the charger before opening pc. After clearing Bios, just change boot order and boot ophcrack.

I no how to access command prompt if ti is blocked like at my school.
1) you restart your computer
2) after you restart, hit ctrl, alt , delete rapidly untill login screen pops up.
3)log inot your cpu.
when it says “loading your personal settings”, unplug the wirte connecting your cpu to the internet.
4)after it logs you on, pug the wire back in…
5)and wala!!! you can access command prompt and change your background

Ok so my cmd prompt isn’t blocked but there are bios restrictions. I am however able to boot of a device do to the fact that our IT guy is a Gym teacher. I would just reset the CMOS but im pretty sure my teacher would notice me dissembling that piece of crap. OPH crack would work but thats still risky. I have a theory though. The desktops at our school have little holes at the bottom (directly by the BIOS). I know you can reset the CMOS by freezing it eg. sticking a netbook in the freezer for 2 hours. I wonder if i could do this with a can of compressed air?

1. make a batch file with the code
@echo off
cmd.exe or command.com
and then with in that batch file put all the code that your going to need in the cmd

Also guys, i have an idea if your really desprate about getting into the computer and fully hacking it, you’ll have to wipe the disk using a windows setup disk….
i think this is going to work cause the accounts and all that security stuff dont load straight at boot up so that means you can still, no matter run boot disks when you start the computer…
>MY TIPS<
when you do it make sure you do it to a computer in the corner where teachers cant see and where they dont ussally go.
make sure you do it with stealth!
