In this episode I show you how to "break in" to your Windows machine after you have lost the password. This works in Windows NT, 2000, and XP machines without an encrypted file system. I then show you how to wipe a hard disk to assure no one can gain access to your data once the drive is sold or disgarded.

  • i know some stuff about computers but wanted to know this if you wipe the drive do youneed toreformat of re-install windows cause i have a problem and wanna wip my drive but dont wanna buy windows xp again so ya i would appreciate some help.

  • Yes, you have to reformat and reinstall. If you have a valid Windows license you can call them and they will activate it up to 5 times IIRC.

  • Just figured something many people might not be aware of when configuring wi-fi security and the different levels of options and what they mean.

  • Ok, sounds good. I will probably cover that when we get to security. I think I also need a WiFi series, I have three or four shows I would like to do if I can pull them together. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but I have some things I think people will like. :)

  • hey any chance of some PIX Firewall stuff ?

  • Sorry, I don't have access to one. What about just general firewall configuration? It might take me a while, but I can go research a free/open source firewall and walk through a config. Firewalls look pretty much the same once you know the basics. The trick is knowing enough about TCP/IP to know how and what to block.
