This is what I presented originally. [Picture] I tested a method. Here, adding TEMP acct, without needing the foreigner PIN https://i.postimg.cc/cCvkCVtd/added-temp-administrators-account.gif This is the web site I used for the hack. https://4sysops.com/archives/reset-windows-10-password-by-disabling-windows-defender/ You can do the first part of the hack this way. The purpose of this step, is we're entering Safe Mode. But, it's on the next reboot of Windows. If we happen to sneak in another OS before that, and makes some changes, nobody will know. We use the Popup Boot on the computer to do this. It turns out, the Macrium CD is very handy for the file modification step. [Picture] The hack that uses safe mode, and offers an Administrator window for adding yourself to an Administrators group https://i.postimg.cc/tRvT58Bt/safe-mode.jpg ******* As examples of things that can be done in the Administrator window in the example. net user TEMP querty1 /add # Add account TEMP:querty1 to the accounts (write down the password) net localgroup Administrators TEMP /add # Make the user TEMP, an Administrator Similarly, we could take the Rob account, and elevate it. net localgroup Administrators Rob /add # Make the user Rob, an Administrator And Merry Christmas.
