DeepFreeze

Hey.... ummm.. I need alittle information about deepfreeze... I waz messing around with the demo version.. and kinda locked myself out.. and i have tried everything.. i have even used a dos mased process killer... i have very important information..... on my computer and unluckly it does not have a burner.. so i dont want to format.. merly.. turn off the Deepfreeze and delete it forever!! it sucks.... i hate depefreeze, my friend is the one who gave it 2 me... and he like set it up... and neither one of us know the password.. and umm.... the trial.... its kinda hacked... well, not hacked.. because thats illegal but he fixed it.. or used a fixed version OR SOMETHING like that... i dont know i just need help

Did you lock yourself out of your own system by installing/cracking the DeepFreeze demo, or are you trying to get around your school's version of DeepFreeze?

I'm confused of how locking yourself out of your own system is possible, how could you forget the password? Wouldn't that be up on the list of things not to forget?

Also, you said you needed information on DeepFreeze. What information do you need? Product evaluations or how to get around a 'Frozen' system?

I am pretty familiar with deep freeze. it is an excellent program, great for keeping away skiddies becasue most of them cant even figure out how to get to the point where you can enter the password. Your best bet will be to email yourself the info, and format. Deepfreeze makes it so you cant add things to the computer without permission, so you should no trouble getting your info.

Oh and by the way. when you get something from a friend, who "fixed" the program, its illegal. and asking how to get around a very well made piece of security software, is really ****ing lame, especially on a security webpage.

LMAO...
"... and neither one of us know the password.. and umm.... the trial.... its kinda hacked... well, not hacked.. because thats illegal but he fixed it.. or used a fixed version" Ok, it's either 'hacked' (cracked is the more appropriate term, probably) or it's not. It sound's like it is NOT using the proper approved methods of use, therefore, cracked.

If you don't have a burner, XTC46 has the right idea. Email yourself anything not sensitive. Or get a fileshare online somewhere or on another PC, and move everything.

'Kinda hacked' is like 'sort of pregnant'. The degrees don't matter, you're still f$cked (haha, I'm so puny!)

.... and "sort of pregnant" is a lot like "a little bit retarded"..... :rolleyes:

BinaryBrother, why are you even trying to use a demo version of cracked software? Lesson : if you're going to use cracked software (bad idea in general *snuggles OSS*), don't get a cracked version of a freely available and legitimate copy....this really makes me question your asking for help. DeepFreeze has a serial number and there's a built-in system for getting your system back together and DeepFreeze off. You call tech support with the token and serial number and they give you a temporary password to unlock DeepFreeze. I had to analyze all this to give an audit report to my school's IT people. If what you say is true, i'm a bit confused, you want the files? They're there. You want to change the filesystem? You want to reload all the files on a diff comp? If that's the case, just boot from something else and mount the drive, it's really not tricky =/. DeepFreeze is a piece of quality software, no doubt about that, but, what you're asking for is pretty unbelievable, it's not even remotely plausible. If you're trying to hack your school or mod stuff, give up now, it's clear you don't possess the skill to do so to begin with. If you really do have a problem with your comp, like everyone's said, send it to yourself over email, reformat, and download.

I don't think you heard him correctly, he wants a how-to tutorial. :rolleyes:

someone could tell him what a great resource k********x can be. you know, the CD. I used it to recover a couple computers from all kinds of stuff.
... nah, sorry man. on your own. I got no idea that your not trying to hack your school. Which in a way can be admirable (in a very limited way, but nonetheless a way). I had to learn on my own. (I'm pretty sure you're trying to hack school)

ROFL:

merly.. turn off the Deepfreeze and delete it forever!!

Sorry dude, you can’t.

The trial versions are 60-day evaluation versions. Unfortunately, if yours isn’t the Professional or Enterprise Trial Versions, the “60-day Evaluation Version” of the “Standard Version” does not include any remote management features. Therefore, the program 'Freezes' your current drive image and does not allow changes (doing its job).

Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves original computer configurations. Completely invulnerable to hacking…Each restart eradicates all changes and resets the computer to its original state, right down to the last byte.

If you have a Professional or Enterprise Trial Version, here’s the white paper you’ll need:

Although I don't know if you will get an un-install option when the eval period is over, but as mentioned eariler, I'd start grabbing your important info, a reformat is probably just around the corner.

Good luck

we used to have deep freeze at my school. but it made it such a hassel to free disk space and add programs and such our systems admin switched to ***********, which is much more effective than deep freeze. when we still had it, i was able to copy files off of it by making a shortcut to the C drive and going through it like that. then again, we had an ancient version of it so i dont know if it will work for you. good luck though..

I am only a little familiar with deepfreeze, but what happens when your 60 day trial is over? pending that your "friend" didn't "fix" that part of it....like any chance it will give you the option to remove it after the 60 days? If your shite is that important, maybe thats an option?

Need to unfreeze Deep Freeze? Go to

This guy found a way to do it! It works for XP/2K/9X and doesn't need to boot from floppy or CD.

Thanks..... but with all of the Negative posts everyone gave me... I got banned.... that waz before you all ran me under the ground.... and I resolved the problem... merly boot the computer up using an old 98 or DOS boot-up disk...... mount it... AKA ntfspro.... then delete.. or replace the deepfrz.sys or deepfreeze.sys in \windows\system32\drivers ..... the simplest way possible... after hours of trial and error... I managed.... if this forum had not 'banned' me... your comments would have helped... I managed to take down Deepfreeze on my computer... and I tried to make it sound as if I were a newb... and tried not to sound like I waz trying something illegal so that you all wouldnt ban me..... but thanks alot..... I managed to get around DeepFreeze on multiple school computer an have alittle fun.... and the version I waz talking about.. I stole from my school.... that actually came with a preset password... thats interesting... peace

A computer programmer in Argentina, Emiliano Scavuzzo, has written a program to thaw Deep Freeze without knowing the password. It works on almost ALL versions of Deep Freeze, even the latest version, v5.60.120.1347, which just came out yesterday (10-20-2005) to supposedly be immune to his program. It's not! You can download "Deep Unfreezer" here:

Deep Freeze Unfreezer
http://usuarios.arnet.com.ar/fliamar...unfreezer.html

First you must acquire DebugPrivileges (removed by Deep Freeze) by escalating to NT_AUTHORITY (the System account) using Task Scheduler from the command line:

1) at 11:23pm /interactive taskmgr.exe (substitute the correct time)
2) End Task explorer.exe
3) File / New Task (Run...) explorer.exe to launch explorer shell under the system account which has Debug Privileges
4) Run Deep Unfreezer from the System account

OR, use ntrights.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit, a free download, http://tinyurl.com/6p6cy to grant yourself the SeDebugPrivilege.
Syntax: ntrights -u Users +r SeDebugPrivilege
If you use ntrights, you must logoff and logon again.

Then run Deep Unfreezer, View Status, click on the status you want, Save Status, and restart the machine. Voila!! THAWED.

A similar technique can be used to remove Deep Freeze Evaluation version by forwarding the date on a machine past 60-days which will expire Deep Freeze, causing it to restart in thawed mode and allowing uninstall. Here's how:

1) Switch to the System account, as described above
2) Double-click the time in the system tray
3) Forward the date past 60-days
4) Restart in thawed mode
5) Use a DeepFreezeSTDEval.exe to uninstall Deep Freeze. Deep Freeze is not uninstalled through Add/Remove Programs. It is uninstalled with the installation file, and ONLY with an installation file. Yes, the same file is used to install and uninstall. If you don't have it, download it here:

http://www.faronics.com/exe/DeepFreezeSTDEval.exe

Or, use ntrights.exe from the Windows Resource Kit to grant yourself the SystemtimePrivilege.
Syntax: ntrights -u Users +r SeSystemtimePrivilege
You must logoff and logon again for the new privilege to be in effect.

The vast majority of Deep Freeze installations around the world are now worthless!! Administrators can't even upgrade to an immune version!!!
