Recover Admin on Windows

Open up command prompt (cmd.exe)
Type the following

Code:

Net user razor /add

This will make a limited user called razor
Now to make it admin...

Code:

Net localgroup administrators razor /add

Ok now you have a admin user, if you want to set a password use this, if not just leave it.

Code:

net user razor *

NOTE: the space is important between the username and the *

Now some Vista users may get an "error 5" this is easy to get around

Burn it to a CD and do as followed:

select graphic mode Automatic

And wait for it to crack the passes

Now you are an admin on Vista & win 7 let's make the account root
open cmd.exe
Type

Code:

Net user administrator /active:yes

This will make a root user appear on the login screen (I will not have a password so be sure to change it when you log in)

On linux ubuntu

sudo passwd [username]

UNTESTED!!!!
This is a method to bypass login on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003/2008, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora.

1. Download the KON-BOOT bootable CD image
2. Burn the disk images a CD and change BIOS boot order to CD first

Feedback would be nice on this method.

I do not currently know how to get admin on windows 7 using CMD (It might be the same)
