Achieving a Safe and Secure Environment

Well you bring up a good question that has many avenues to look at and it all depends on your operating system, Windows, Linux, Unix, MacOSX? The first thing to do on any OS you might have is secure the administrative rights of the computer. Always have user name a passwords set. Windows when installed automatically makes the first user the administrator with full access rights to the computer all the time. BAD Idea. Always create a standard user and log in as that user. When administrative rights are needed have the OS ask for the Admin password so that when that process is complete admin access is revoked. Under all OS's besides Windows this is the norm. If you are using Windows make sure that you use a quality, proven anti-virus software, surf the internet wisely and pay attention to what you download. Windows security is Lame to say the least and takes much more diligence keeping it secure. Do lots of reading on security for OS's to improve your knowledge of the do's and don'ts. A secure environment is only as good as the knowledge the user has to keep it secure.

Change User Password from Command Prompt

You can change a Windows User Account password that is on any Windows computer from any other Windows computer regardless of whether the User Account is on a workstation, a stand-alone server, or a Windows domain controller. Additionally, it makes no difference whether the password being changed from a workstation, a stand-alone server, or a Windows domain controller. This is true for any NT 4.0, W2K, XP Pro and Windows Server 2003 computer.
To change a user's password at the command prompt, log on as an administrator and type:

net user danielp * /domain
(This is only an example, use your own username)
When you are prompted to type a password for the user, type the new password, not the existing password. After you type the new password, the system prompts you to retype the password to confirm. The password is now changed.
Alternatively, you can type the following command:

net user danielp 123456 /domain
When you do so, the password changes without prompting you again. This command also enables you to change passwords in a batch file.
Note: If you type these commands on a member server or workstation and you don't add the /domain switch, the command will be performed on the local SAM and NOT on the DC SAM.

My antivirus report says my computer has 2 administrators listed..It is not listed in the Control Panel/User and password page...how do I get to where it is listed?

Your users are classed as with administrative rights or as users. Open user accounts and check each users rights.

For example, your name is "Jim". Check Jim's account. Is Jim a 'Administrator' or a 'User' or a 'Guest'?

By the way, there is nothing wrong with having multiple users with administrative rights. The benefit of having this distinction is IF you are logged on as a user without administrative rights, you cannot install software. In this case, you might be 'you' by proxy. E-mail has been known to bring virus software into your computer and run automatically. XP will not allow this to happen unless an "administrator" is doing it (logged on to your computer). Thus, this is a safety feature of XP.

I hope this is clear. If not, please reask

XP PASSWORD BREAK

One method of gaining access to the system is by trying hard to remember the forgotten password, or a password of another user which has the same level of administrative rights. However I don't think this approach will help you, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here reading article, would you?
Another method is by trying to restore a backed up System State (in Windows 2000/XP/2003) or a ERD (in NT 4.0) in which you do remember the password. The problem with doing so is that you'll probably lose all of the recently add users and groups, and all the changed passwords for all of your users since the last backup was made.
A third method might be to install a parallel operating system on a different partition on the same computer, then use a simple trick to gain access to the old syste
Here are 5 of these tools:
  1. SpotMau Password Finder - Simple startup utility resets a forgotten admin or users' password using a familiar Windows-like program interface instead of command-line.
  2. Windows Key - Top rated version of Passware's Windows Key app, supports Windows Vista and RAID/SCSI/SATA drives.
  3. Petter Nordahl-Hagen's Offline NT Password & Registry Editor - A great boot CD/Floppy that can reset the local administrator's password.
  4. Openwall's John the Ripper - Good boot floppy with cracking capabilities.
  5. EBCD – Emergency Boot CD - Bootable CD, intended for system recovery in the case of software or hardware faults.
