  • need to hack an account

    To Arvedui,


    Sorry if I am being pedantic, but does that


    allow you to reset the admin password as well?


    If so, very useful information, thank


    you for that.

  • need to hack an account

    To Arvedui:


    I read your post with interest,


    and I would like to know if you have tried your suggestion. I have not heard of that


    one!


    I came accross an article that seemed to describe what you were suggesting at


    http://security.itworld.com/4352/030218winxp/page_1.html


    But if I read it


    correctly, it only allows you access to the files of the system, not reset the password


    itself.


    I have used a package called L0phtCrack in the past for this problem, but I


    appear to have lost my copy of it.


    The tools on the web site I mentioned in my other


    post seem very good, and you can always ask again for help!


    Good


    luck!


    Remember kids don't try this at home!

  • need to hack an account

    If I read your post correctly, your friend cannot remember the Operating systems


    Administrator password. Therefore you cannot install software, change settings and the


    like.


    It is possible to reset the Administrators password, without re-installing the


    operating system.


    Have a look


    at:


    http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm


    Full


    instructions in English, and links to the tools to do it.


    If that does not work, or


    you damage something in the process, then as stated in an earlier post, boot from the


    install CD and format the drive from there, before re-installing the Operating


    system.


    If however you are locked out of the BIOS, that is a different problem with a


    different solution, just correct me if I am wrong :)


    Have Fun!!!

  • Faction Balancing In SP....

    To


    Darkstalker:


    Crossfire is a modification to the Freelancer file set. It does not


    replace the main program for the game, nor does it add any new ones.


    Crossfire does


    not communicate to the outside world, and therefore does not need to pass through the


    firewall. This is all handled for it by freelancer.exe.


    Freelancer uses the


    Directplay8 set of protocols to communicate first with the Global Catalogue server to obtain


    a list of servers hosting multiplayer games. It uses UDP on port 2300 to do this.




    Once you have selected the Multiplayer server you wish to connect to, another UDP


    connection is established with that server in the range 2300-2400 (but usually starting from


    2302). You need these ports, to allow each user to attach to the server and play (each


    player needs there own port).


    It therefore follows that your firewall must allow UDP


    traffic through ports 2300-2400, or you will not be able to communicate with the Global


    server, or connect to a hosting server.

  • Faction Balancing In SP....

    Some questions for you!


    Have you double checked your firewall?


    Can you


    tell me what ports are open for FL?


    What firewall are you using?


    Have you


    installed any software since you last accessed an FL server?


    Are you getting any


    error messages when you boot your machine?


    Do you have ICQ or MSN or IRC software on


    your machine (in case we need to talk)?


    I may be being pig headed here, but I still


    think the problem lies with your firewall.

  • Starlancer Reborn or Crossfire?

    Hey Illuminatus, you sure it is 15 pins, I have an old MS Sidewinder, that uses a


    game port connection, that has 9 pins.


    My modern motherboard does not have a


    suitable connection, but I have an old sound card that has does.


    Means fitting it,


    and disabling the onboard sound card, but I remember SL as being a great game, so I might


    just do it.


    It would be nice to fly with a joystick again; there really is no


    comparison with a mouse. The degree of control that you get really does enhance the game.

  • Faction Balancing In SP....

    Hey ChiefRedCloud, if you need a


    wingman while you sort out your rep, let me know.


    I cannot pvp (no experience, but


    working on it), but I can shoo those pesky flies away for you. I am usually on from 15:00 to


    20:00 GMT, but can work outside these times.


    Us old folk got to stick


    together!


    I fly under char of JtaK


    See you out there!

  • No Support in Crossfire.....

    The problem is not with you, but the equipment you are using.


    With level 9


    equipment, you need to pick your guns very carefully.


    Until I get some level 10 guns,


    killing them is a slow and often tedious business.


    Once you have 4 level 10 guns,


    and a decent shield, you can go out without bots/bats, and make more by selling your victims


    discarded ones.


    Why do it? 100k per tractor pod. Average level 40 mission is worth


    1.5M, takes about 10-20 minutes.


    Takes a lot of trading to make that profit, that


    quick.
