Bypassing user password protection in Windows 9x

1 January 2000 by Snakefoot | Comment » | Trackback Off
The password protection in Windows 9x is very low, if not configured correctly.
  • If there is a standard local login request then at most times one can just press Esc to get past it, or just login as another user.
  • If there is a forced local login then one can just press F8 at startup to enter DOS and remove all .pwl files in the Windows directory.
  • If there is a forced network login then one can just press CTRL+ESC, which starts the task manager, from which you can start "explorer".
