Resetting Administrator Password in Windows XP

I recently forgot my Administrator password on one of my workstation and I need some of my important files in there. Good thing there's a way to reset it.

Or just buy a software to reset you administrator password better yet, just try this trick and it might still work. This password reset procedure will try to leverage the security hole found on Windows XP without moving your hardisk from one computer to another. This security hole unfortunately is still un-patched even if you are running the latest service pack 3. Get your Windows installer ready and your serial number before trying this procedure. 1. Place your Windows CD in your cdrom drive. Then press on any key to boot from your installer. 2. Setup will begin inspecting your computer until you are prompted to press enter to setup windows. 3. Accept the licensing agreement. 4. Select the option to repair your Windows installation by pressing R. 5. Let the repair run it will check your disk and copy the installation files.

Open SSH Authentication with Cygwin and Putty

Secure shell authentication (SSH Authentication) can be used by client to connect to a server remotely with encryption enabled. SSH or secure shell access offers a convenient way to access the servers terminal securely, however it becomes annoying if we need to type the password every time we need to connect to a server especially if we have a strong password in place. Doing it automatically offers a convenient and secure way to access our servers. We can do this using OpenSSH if you have a Linux machine or Mac then by no means you already have it in your system. This article focus primarily in using OpenSSH via Windows machine, I just included the Cygwin to do this but it can also be done by using Putty alone. So to start with, lets define what do we mean: * Client: the system one types directly on, such as a laptop or desktop system. * Server: anything connected to from the client. Some precautions don't allow your root account to do this, you can always run sudo command to perform administrative task. To do this of just add a user to the wheel group in Linux system to allow them to become sudoers.

Putty Connection Manager

I'm recently looking for tabbed Putty connection instances, as it is becoming cumbersome for me to work with a lot of putty screens on my desktop moving from one connection instance to the next. Fortunately I found one and It is called Putty Connection Manager. The market for ssh clients seems to be split from Putty (Free) and Secure CRT (Which is not Free), but for me as long as it does the job well and I can work with it then why go for a commercial version. There are pros and cons of course but for the mean time Putty CM will suffice for my work style. * Tabs and dockable windows for PuTTY instances. * Fully compatible with PuTTY configuration (using registry). * Easily customizable to optimize workspace (fullscreen, minimze to tray, add/remove toolbar, etc...). * Automatic login feature regardless to protocol restrictions (user keyboard simulation). * Post-login commands (execute any shell command when logged). * Connection Manager : Manage a large number of connections with specific configuration (auto-login, specific PuTTY Session, post-command, etc...). * Quick connect toolbar to quickly launch a PuTTY connection.

Tunnelier SSH2 Port Forwarding Client

If you are using SSH to control your server one of the best software to use is Tunnelier. Tunnelier is a friendly and flexible SSH client for Windows which includes state of the art terminal emulation, graphical as well as command-line SFTP support, an FTP-to-SFTP bridge, powerful tunneling features including dynamic port forwarding through integrated proxy, and also remote administration for our SSH server. * Port forwarding settings can be saved to and loaded from a profile. One can maintain multiple complex tunneling configurations without having to manually enter parameters before each session. * Tunnelier minimizes its presence by displaying only a system tray icon when running in the background. If an error is encountered while the program is minimized, the icon reflects that. * Command-line parameters are supported. Using command-line automation, a port forwarding session can be started from a link in the Startup menu without requiring any user interaction whatsoever.
