 Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2010 9:58 am Post subject: Admin rights. |
 |
|
So my dad brought home a laptop.
I can login, but when I do I only got guest rights, and I want it to be admin rights. I can't make myself admin by using Cmd, and I can't acces Bios because it asks me for a password.
I want to reformat the laptop, so anyone got tips?

Reset computer, hold F8, go into safe mode, login as Administator, CTRL panel, Useraccounts or For whatever it is for vista, Make an account with admin rights? or try to change the guests' Permissions.

Can't run it in safe mode, it asks for a password.

Parents spend tons of money fixing computers is due to their kids having a itch to break it and don't care about the consequences.
Your dad probably locked his system is due to the fact he can't trust your behavior and I'll bet you have done this many times.
If not, why will he lock the account and set you as a guest?
Seriously, you have your own computer,use it and stop messing with other people's belonging, even if it's your dad.

Can you open up the laptop? If yes - remove the password from BIOS via removing the battery on the mainboard for a few minutes (no power cable or battery), then make it to boot from CD and use ophcrack.
If no - if the harddisk is split to multiple partitions you can install windows extracting the files on the 2nd partition (NOT SYSTEM PARTITION) and running the setup from there and then not formatting that partition. If the harddisk is not split up i can't think of more options right now.

Yeah i tried opening it up, it would work if i take more time for it, but I'm having a hard time finding out where the battery is.

I've only dissassembled a laptop once, but I know that the battery looks nothing like a desktop battery. It should look like two cylinders instead of one, wrapped up in a kind of plastic. Remove it for 10 seconds and then replace it. The BIOS should be reset and you can access safe mode form there.

There are 3 types of passwords to a notebook or desktop system
1. user password- password created in the OS's user account.
This can easily be removed or if password is forgotten a reformat of the OS shall fix it.
2. hard drive password- set in the bios, if a user forgot it, then they're screwed as it's set into the hard disk. They all also need to get a new hard drive and all their contents cannot be accessed even if they hook it up to another system.
3. bios password- again set in the bios, if user forgot the password, they can take it to a certified repair center as they might have the necessary software to reset it.
If you want to do it yourself, it's either removing the cmos battery not notebook battery, but certain models cmos battery are non-removable. If that is the case, then user will need to short a set of soldering contacts on the board in order to bring the bios back to factory defaults and remove the bios password.

If it isn't his, then why he bought it home?
If his friend does not want it and gave it to him, then it's consider his. so my point still stands, it's your dad's property.

If you actually took time to read his post, you would have known that his dad asked him if he can unlock it. I was once in the same situation. If I could unlock this laptop for my dad, I would get rewarded with his old computer. Whatever he does with it though is none of your concern. He didn't want to know if it was right to unlock his dads laptop, he wanted to know how.

maybe his dad's friend forgot the pass? or, it may be stolen (Just throwing it out there as a theory, not accusing anyone)
