Hey,

A few weeks ago I used login recovery to hack the local administrative accounts on a few pcs on my school network.

Well anyway this shouldnt interfere with network functions. People should still be able to log into the network and do basic network functions.

This has worked perfectly for a few weeks. Everyone has been able to continue using the pcs and log into the network like normal, and no one has noticed anything to make them suspect anything is wrong; and I have been able to install games on some pcs to play when I have some time to burn. Everything has been perfect.

Until recently, two of three pcs I did this on have encountered problems.

Whenever the pcs boot up, they always get stuck on the blue screen before the little (ctrl-alt-del to login box) appears.

Did my breaking into the local administrative accounts do this?
Any ideas on how to fix it? ...If not, got any ideas to help me cover my tracks?

Lol, I know... I probably should have never done this all in the first place, and I dont think I will be doing it again. But I did do it, and now any help would be great.

Just use logon recovery to reset the password back to what they were? You don't need an OS tol use it, just do it through DOS.

Then who gives a **** give they blue screen when they go to windows?









Unless of course you installed applications on them... then that would be stupid.... If that is the case.... Go home and pray they just re-image the computers without looking at what has been changed.

Don't install programs to the computers, install them to flashdrives. That way you can play them on any computer, its untraceable, and you always have them with you - without messing with passwords.

I did install some games on all of them.

Out of all three. I already uninstalled everything off of one and wiped all its history, and ill do the same on the main one im using right now on the last day of school, and I cant do it on the other because its stuck on the blue screen.

As far as the one with the blue screen one, I think im gona bring in a win98 disk, boot it on that pc, and use f-disk to wipe its drive... yeah its a little destructive, and not fair to the school it staff, but at this point Im just trying not to get caught and get in deep sh1t.

This summer Ill buy a jump drive to install stuff on and use that instead of installing things localy next year.

I had problems with students installing games then I installed deep freeze on them and haven't had a problem since. Locked the bios and the case. Removable media is prohibited in the school. Also running Iprism for a content filter. You guys wouldn't have much fun where I work.

whats deep freeze? got a link?

[joshd]

removable drives are prohibited? how are students supposed to take work home and stuff?

On the computers at my school, reading and writing files to flash drives are acceptable, but you cannot run .exe and .bat files from them; therefore, there is no running mobile firefox or limewire. I am still trying to find a way around it since, at the moment, school is my only access to the internet.

[joshd]

same here with the .exe and .bat thing... which i suppose if fair enough. otherwise anyone with some knowledge of programming could cause havok.

Yes they could and it is funny to start a program as a service and have it mask the entire screen including the task manager behind a completly blank screen that changes colors every 5 seconds.

I REALLY need to learn how to do that. What language do you use?
