Note : Please use Google search to download the latest version of the software.

To Crack Windows password we will be using Ophcrack  ( 90 % success rate) and free version of  KON-BOOT (100% success rate ).

Download Ophcrack

The first thing we will need to do is download the CD image from Ophcrack’s website. There are two options to download, XP or Vista, so make sure you grab the right one. The Vista download works with Windows Vista or Windows 7, and the only difference between XP and Vista is the “tables” Ophcrack uses to determine the password.

Once the .iso file is downloaded, burn it to a CD using Imgburn, Nero.....( Google search to download the latest version of the software)

If you are going to be cracking your password on something that doesn't have a CD drive, such as a net book  download the Universal USB creator from Pen Drive Linux. A USB drive will not only run faster but you can also use a single USB drive for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 if you copy the needed tables to the drive.

To create a USB drive that works with all versions of Windows, download the free password tables from Ophcrack’s website.

Now extract the tables to \tables\vista_free on the USB drive and they will be used automatically by Ophcrack.

Boot from CD/USB

Boot the computer from the CD or USB drive that you created.

Note: On some computers you may have to go into the BIOS settings to change the boot order or push a key to show the boot menu.

Once the disk is done booting, Ophcrack should start automatically and will begin cracking the passwords for all of the users on your computer.

Note: If the computer boots and you only have a blank screen or Ophcrack doesn't start, try restarting the computer and selecting manual or low RAM options on the live CD boot menu.

If you have a complex password it will take a lot longer than simple passwords, and with the free tables your password may never be cracked. Once the crack is done you will see the password in plain text, write it down and reboot the machine to login. If your password isn't cracked, you can also log in as one of the other users with admin rights and then change your password from within Windows.

With the free tables available you will not be able to crack every 90% password.

KON-BOOT :

Getting onto someone’s computer when they are not around can be a tall task.  Most people have passwords on their machines, thwarting any would-be pranksters.

Well, this problem can be solved with a small tool called KON-BOOT. Rather than cracking a Windows password, KON-BOOT bypasses it and lets you into the computer without typing one in. Then, when you restart, everything is back to normal, that is, everything you didn't change for the computer prank.

To get KON-BOOT, Click Here.

You will have to unzip the downloaded file and then burn the CD image or on pen drive  After that is done, you are ready to start the pranking fun.

Wait until a friend leaves his computer and make sure you have enough time to get the deed done. Pop in the CD and turn on the computer, making sure you boot from the CD.  This may require you to hit F12 at the BIOS screen and choose to boot from the CD.  You’ll know you’re there when you see the following.

At any time, hit Enter and you should see an ASCII art logo draw onto the screen and a few loading dialog that should look something like this.

The computer should then boot Windows and, if everything worked, you shouldn't be prompted for a password.  Now you’re ready to do your computer prank.

After you've finished your dirty deeds, you can just take out your disk and reboot the computer.  It will boot as normal, with your playful changes waiting to be discovered.

KON-BOOT is a powerful tool and should be used with discretion.  Clearly, it could be used for malicious purposes, but no one like a malicious person.

* KON-BOOT free version has limitation so we mainly use it for Win XP. ( Or you can get the free full version by searching.)
