Is there any way to have the write or overwrite access of system 32 in windows xp from a guest account ?

Question

Actually I want to get the full access like an administrator from a guest account so how I can do that to have the full control from a guest account in windows XP

Answer 1

Sometimes the tricks allow you to get full access if admin password is not set and you log into safe mode, then create a new account assigning full privileges to yourself.

It simply means that if you log into SAFE mode and it do not ask you for a password, it would mean that SYSTEM ADMIN PASSWORD is blank that allows you log in as system admin.

Answer 2

Is there a specific reason you want to do this?



I'm assuming you've forgotten the Windows Administrator password and are not attempting to hack into someone else's PC.



You can view most files within Windows XP from Linux. If you download a bootable linux CD like Puppy Linux



http://puppylinux.org/



You can burn that to a disc and get the BIOS to boot from CD.



Once in Linux you should have a hard drive icon on the desktop called something like SDA1 (nb. Linux doesn't use drive letters like Windows it all starts a / (root) and everything branches off from that but don't worry about that just open the icon from the desktop).



When in SDA1 you should be able to access all the windows files, documents, and everything on the computer (Windows file security is so unbelievably lame!) - in XP all your documents and settings are stored in the "Documents and Settings" folder (in Vista/7 that is now the Users folder).



You can then copy them to USB stick just plug your usb stick in and it's icon will appear on the Linux desktop. Open it and drag and drop your files from one window to the other selecting copy or move (ignore the symbolic link options these just create links to the file like Windows shortcuts).



If you are copying them to USB once done go to the USB stick icon on the desktop, right click and click Unmount to unmount the USB drive - this is the same as the safely remove hardware option in Windows, but in Linux it's more vital that you do this, or you can just shut the PC down and then remove the stick.



If you want to reset the admin password for Windows there are Ultimate Boot Discs that will allow you to reset XP passwords, or tell you XP passwords, search google for Ultimate Boot Disc (you can buy them from eBay or download them and burn them yourself).

Answer 3

not in pro at least, don't know about other editions. I assume they also have accounts under the hood since I was able to get them to sport a login prompt also, so I assume they MAY have some sort of ACLs and security,just not sure about the guest account. not something I have actually tried.

in other editions of windows, the filesystem doesn't appear to have the permissions and security that Pro has.



so the answer is either "it depends" or "no".
