Forgot Windows XP Passwords?
Use Bootable CD and get to the DOS prompt
Copy windows\repair\sam file to windows\system32\config\sam
This will overwrite the passwords with empty ones.
Do you mean that you want to turn of Plug and Play?
Windows doesn't detect a driver, it detects new Harware and then installs the required driver.
Steve Gibson of Gibson Research has just released an easy-to-use utility
for turning off Universal Plug-and-Play (UPNP) in Windows XP/ME/98. The
utility, "UnPlug 'n Pray", is available for no charge at this download
page:
http://grc.com/UnPnP/UnPnP.htm
This utility is a great tool for folks who would rather turn off UPNP
altogether on their Windows systems instead of having to keep up with a
steady stream of UPNP security patches from Microsoft.
This tool also confirmed that the FBI is currently giving out incorrect
instructions on how to protect a Windows XP from the UPNP security
holes. I followed the FBI instructions, but Steve's utility was still
needed to get the right XP services turned off. The FBI/NIPC Web page
that needs to get fixed is located at:
