hello guys ,
I am a newbie in this field , i would like to know that , is there any possibility that we can put a admin password in win 98 se just like in case of WIN2K or NT ??
one way is to make psw in BIOS to give acess for authirised person but i would like to give admin option in WINDOWS logon which should not give authority unless paswword matched.. Cancel button should not work .. ??
hope u will give some feedback..
Thanking you ...
Windows 98 is not a secure operating system so the answer to your question is no.
I suggest you get XP or 2k as they are secure.
2k is secure. Windows XP Pro CAN be secure if you do some tweaking. XP Home, no way to make it secure.
Using password in Win 9x will not stop any people who want to access to your computer.
XP is actually the best secure Windows version (if you configure it correctly). And with it, you haven't got the feelings you're using a shareware/demo/beta version.
So...

Not really - Win98 is not secure at all, not anywhere close to Win2000 or NT. Win2000 and NT both have Administrator accounts (with an admin password) standard - then you can add more accounts to the system with different access rights. These administrator accounts have full access to the system (to perform maintenance, etc) because they have administrative rights to the system. With other accounts you set up, you have the option to limit their rights to something such as Power User, Restricted User, etc., each offering a certain amount of access to the system. Win98 accounts aren't based on access rights, therefore, administrative accounts do not exist. In fact, I don't even see why Win98 even uses accounts at all since you can't really secure them.
So, at the end of the day, the answer to your question is no...
yeah, KissCool, but in XP home, when your comp says that some services are disabled (even if you've deleted the files that allow you to turn it off in XP Pro), they're still running, just don't appear to be running, so if someone knows this, and uses one of those OS scanners, then bad news....
Yes it's right, but I don't know any silly guy using XP home edition and there are a lot of software in order to really control your OS.
:confused: Hey guys,
First off I'd like to say I'm a little more then pissed that my team England lost to the narcissistic and ugly Brazilian team, but I'll be ok. Well... I'm a information hungry person, with plans for the future. Whenever I become interested in somthing I MUST know every shred of detail about it and how to go about doing whatever it is that I want to do. Recently (well... a year ago) I became interested in "hacking" if you want to call it that and I know some of you guys on this site are GODS of computers in every way shape and form and so, as a newbie to the "hacking" or "Penatration testing" world I ask... You turn on your friends computer, and soon, the loggin screen comes up for his Windows 2000 pro OS. You want to loggin as the "Administrator" and screw around with the files. How would you do it? What programs (if any) would you use? If you would like to answer me via Email I'm at [email protected] I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS SAY!
Thanks

viruss...there are some shareware progs and pay progs which attempt to do the kinds of things you want to do...but these will only deter the most basic attempts at circumvention...usually all that is required is a boot to safe mode...but i suppose if you're stuck witn 98 it's better than nothing...
google for em
as has been said 2k is the only way to really implement a secure logon/file access system.
as for: "icky-bod"
think by this you'll make friends here??...Quote:

as a newbie to ao ...go read the faq...learn how and where to post...this should have been the start of a new thread...so we could have flamed your ass and not ruin a valid post...Quote:

why would you want to do that to a "friend"...not much of one you are i'd sayQuote:

i wouldn't...but i'd also spend 30 seconds and search google and the archives before asking such a lame question...Quote:

THIS IS NOT A HACKING SITE...GO AWAY (that's what i'd say....)
xp pro is secure as hell as far as i'm concerned. stupid freakin sid's stopped me for about 3 hours the other day. i forgot all about em. they give numbers to the identiy and users of the computer. *sighs*
To... Mr. Zigar
Ok I get the point, your probably pretty pissed at me, either that or your just upset about the hordes of newbies flooding web pages like this one. Let me come clean. Im not a hacker by any means, but most of my "Friends" are. I beilive they are attempting to do what it is that i said I wanted to. it is because of this that i have asked for individuals' like yourself's help. to put it as simply as possible I'm not brown-nosing by saying the "GODs of computer" thing, i was stating the obvious. various people (like yourself im sure) are capible of doing whatever it is that you want to, and because of this i asked my "Stupid question". I appologize for any headaches i gave you by composing that stupid post. Oh and the reason i didnt post it in the right spot was because i was in a hurry to get it posted and not too long after i did it i found the right spot to put it. sorry again

Technically, you can make Win9x much more secure than it is with a combination of policies and profiles, but I think to force logons like that, you need to be on a MS domain with a PDC (primary domain controller). I know you can envoke policies and profiles on a stand-alone PC, but there's some real trickery there. The trick is something like setting up the default profile/policy to have absolutely zero control to do anything. That way, if someone does hit 'Cancel' or escape the system will simply load the default profile/policy -- which does nothing. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who's a guru on policies who could tell you how to set that up.
Your best bet to is to migrate to an OS with some user-level security as a default configuration. (ie, WinNT,XP-Pro,Linux)
...you will find that if you are asking intelligent questions...ie...how do i stop my friends from get at my files...you will get very good answers...most of the time...if you ask how do i hack.*.*...you will get slammed...and if you get slammed too much you get banned...
i meant what i said when i said read the faq.. and the tuts....it will answer a lot of questions..maybe prevent you from experiencing "the wrath of ao" :)...
this is a good place and if you contribute and learn...you will enjoy your stay...
btw...i never get pissed...i'm too old for that...(oh and thanks for making me feel really old...mr. zigar...geez) and you should know that i'm not the one who neg'd you...everyone is new at one time....and makes errors...course if you were to continue to make such posts....well...you don't want to get neg'd by a senior member whose karma is balanced to myagi's satisfaction...hehe...
welcome to ao ichabod
Thanks guys for ur valuable reply ..
