if your talking about cracking a program that needs CD verfication you just take the original and open it up in a debugger and hex editor and step thru it step by step till you find the places where it branches or forks to look for the CD, change it so it doesnt fork, save it and then copy that over the original. You can do the same for password verification, just get rid of the password verification part. Is that what your talking about?
Other way is just to brute force the password with something like "john the ripper".
