can someone help me with debug

[s0ras0n]

yesterday I wanted to find out how to get into my cusins user account
and I found this

Many systems with password protection store the password in a local file. The password is usually encrypted in some way to make it unreadable. The following example involves Sage, an ancient DOS accounts package, but the technique is general and applies in many other cases.
Sage stores it's password locally in SAGE.PSW as a 10 character string. Make a backup copy first then remove the archive and read-only attributes to gain write access to the file:


copy sage.psw password.bak
attrib sage.psw -a -r
Now we can edit the password file using debug:

debug sage.psw
-d
OC4B:0100 85 8C 89 9A 8F 83 E9 E9-E9 E9 xx xx xx xx xx xx
The first six bytes in this example are the encrypted password followed by padding (encrypted spaces) and the terminator. Use debug to change all but the first byte to match the padding. For example:
-e101 E9 E9 E9 E9 E9
-d100
OC4B:0100 85 E9 E9 E9 E9 E9 E9 E9-E9 E9 xx xx xx xx xx xx
Now write the edited file back to disk and quit debug:
-w
Writing 00012 bytes
-quit
Start the Sage program and try each letter of the alphabet in turn. It will throw you out after 3 invalid entries so simply reload it and continue. In the worst case you will need to reload 8 times. As soon as you discover the new improved single character password you're in.
Happy Hacking!

*note I did not write this
ok I got lost in the-

Are you asking how to hack into your cousins computer? Or do you have some benign reason for trying to crack their password?

[Ouroboros]

Why, for the sake of asking a question that will never have an honest answer, do you want to access your cousin's account?

And even more disturbing, how did you come across Sage?

"Happy Hacking!"...ok, it may be just a hunch, but it seems like only the first sentence of your post was written by you, personally.

My questions are:

1) are you an idiot?
2) are you a criminal?
3) are you a criminal idiot?
4) what color underwear are you wearing?
5) are you serious?
6) what is the capital of Madagascar?
7) do you expect the resposible users of AO to give you any respect when your only question(s) revlove around morally reprehensible activity, such as the breaking into other peoples' accounts for no discernable reason while 'cut and paste'ing from other databases?
8)no, really...what color are they?

I made this text fiel with private info on it, except my cusin took stole the file and is currently sharing it on kazaa! now are their anymore questions
so I need to delete that file and the only way to do it is to get into her computer.

oh and if their is any other way please tell me.

[rcgreen]

sneak in to her room (bring a screwdriver) and steal her hard drive.

I'll use that as my last resort

Boot up to the dos prompt and if its a windows xp system you would type something like this.
C:\documents and settings\owner(or the name of her login for xp)\
I'm not sure if this would work but you could also get to the c: prompt and type c:\dir *.txt
That should bring up a list of all text files on that computer. Remeber that if you saved it in something different than Notepad the file extension will be different. Once you find the file then its easy just type c:\del name of file.txt

[s0ras0n]

so if I could find it can I type somethin like

deltree C:\programs\kazaa\*.*
it would destroy the file my cusin took and everything else thier

I'm just going to do that thanx
I never even considered Dos
