Logging into dos, Win2000 pro

[vynkz]

Where would you go about doing this? I know theres a boot into safe mode with dos, but that requires you to have login access. Thanks for helping!

What are you trying to accomplish?

[MrLinus]

Start --> Run --> type cmd

Is that what you're looking for?

[vynkz]

No i don't have user access. Trying to see how someone locked me out through the dos.

[SirDice]

They didn't lock you out through dos.

Sounds like you're trying to break into some W2K box.

[vynkz]

No offense intended but if i wanted to break through my own box i'd just use my password recovery disks, erd commander, or various other crack cds i have. Or i'd just grab the sam and break it with cain.

My simple question here is, howed he get through my box without using any of those tools. He only mentioned "manipulating the user accounts through(net user). Ok let me re phrase the question "How would you boot into dos with local admin rights with win 2000pro?" Because that's apparently what he did.

[MrLinus]

Sounds more like he did a red button attack. (null connections)

[vynkz]

You mean ip$ null null? Something like that?

[MrLinus]

Possibly. It's a guess, assuming he's being straightforward with you. He might also be using one of the Kaht (Kaht II) exploits (those seem rather popular with my students these days although I don't know if I'd consider it the same as a net use exploit/flaw)

He also has physical access to my computer, i've tried booting into dos and it never worked for me, how many ways are there to boot into it without a boot disk anyways??? I've tried googling, didn't really help. Thanks msmittens for the informative replies.
