Hacking a computer is a useful and, at times, important skill to pick up. Below are instructions for getting past a password (if you find yourself logged out of a computer or want to check up on your child or spouse), gaining remote access to a computer (to check on a user or help locate a stolen machine), or crack a wifi password (in the event of an emergency, such as if you become lost in an unfamiliar city and you need to look up directions
Method 1 Getting Past a Log In Password
1.Boot the computer in safe mode.
2.Click “Start”.
3.Click “Run”
4.Type in “control userpasswords2”.[1]
5.Change passwords for any account. This is probably going to be obvious to the user, so you may have to tell them a little white lie. Try something along the lines of: "Oh, I hear computers glitch like that sometimes. You can always type in recoverpassword if you get locked out and then set a new password" (in which case you will want to set the password to the account to recoverpassword or whatever you tell this person).[2]
6.Reboot the computer.
Method 2 Getting Remote Access
1.Download the program LogMeIn. There is a free version, though you can purchase a subscription if that better meets your needs.[3]
2.The program will need to be downloaded to the computer you intend to remotely view or use. This makes it useful for gaining access to your computer if it is stolen or for checking up on your teen’s daytime activities during the summer.
3.You will have to make an account with the LogMeIn website in order to use the software
4.Log in to the website. Log in to LogMeIn’s website.
5.Navigate to the “My Computers” page. It should open automatically when you sign in.
6.Add the computer you intend to remotely access. You will see an “Add computer” button on the page. Click that and fill in the info for the computer you intend to access.
7.Click the name for the computer once it’s added.
8.Log on to the computer. This means you’ll have to know the username and password for the account you’re trying to access or view.
9.Click “Remote Control”. If you’re trying to be sneaky (such as to spy on the user), try to move the mouse as little as possible and don’t click on anything.
10.Log out when you’re done.
