Gaining Access to the SYSTEM account

Here is a simple tutorial you can use to gain access to the SYSTEM account, which is basically a superadministrator account. With access to the SYSTEM account you can change Administrator passwords and using the Group Policy Editor you can lock the Administrator out of tasks completely.

I have only tested this on Windows XP. There is no guarantee that this will work on any other operating system.

Here is a step by step tutorial to gain access to the system account:

1. Click on Start, go to Run and type cmd.exe.

2. On the command prompt that opens, type "at (time) /interactive cmd.exe" (without quotes. the time field can be any time you want but I recommend 1-2 minutes into the future so that you do not have long to wait. For example, if the current time is 9:10 PM you would type "at 21:21 /interactive cmd.exe" without quotes into the command prompt. It must be done in 24 hour time, or else it will not work)

3. Wait for the new command prompt to open. When it does, press CRTL+ALT+DELETE.

4. In Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and end the explorer.exe process (the Windows shell).

5. Close out of Task Manager and exit the 1st command prompt you opened, being careful not to exit out of the new one.

6. In the new Command Prompt type "cd .." without quotes.

7. In the Command Prompt type "explorer.exe" without quotes.

8. The Windows shell should start. It may set up your desktop and documents folders. When it is finished you will have access to the SYSTEM account. Have fun with your new Superadministrator status.

I am not responsible for you misusing any part of this tutorial or any harm incurred on the system as a result of your inability to follow the instructions or any damages you may occur by misusing the SYSTEM account. This guide is a demonstration only.

Warning: Due to securtiy enhancements, this task will run at the time expected but not interactively.

Use schtasks.exe utility if interactive task is required ('schtasks /?' for details)

Access is denied. :P
