DreamPackPL allows any user to bypass Windows login security and logon to Windows XP or Windows 2000 computer even though the user have forgotten or lost the valid password, and without the need to reset, recover or change the existing passwords that are currently set with the accounts. DreamPackPL (version 2oo4.o6.1o) is actually built on DreamPack which consists only the hacked and patched sfcfiles.dll.

How to Hack Windows XP Password with DreamPackPL?

1. Get physical access to the machine. Remember that it must have a CD or DVD drive.
2. Download DreamPackPL from this link. Unzip the downloaded dpl.zip and you’ll get dpl.ISO.
3. Burn or write the ISO image to CD using ISO2Disc.
4. After you have the disk, boot from the CD or DVD drive. You will see Windows 2000 Setup and it will load some files.
5. Press “R” to install DreamPackPL.
6. Press “C” to install DreamPackPL by using the recovery console.
7. Select the Windows installation that is currently on the computer (Normally is “1” if you only have one Windows installed)
8. Backup your original sfcfiles.dll by typing: “ren C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll sfcfiles.lld” (without quotes)
9. Copy the hacked file from CD to system32 folder. Type: “copy D:\i386\pinball.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll” (without quotes and assuming your CD drive is D:)
10. Type “exit”, take out disk and reboot.
11. In the password field, type “dreamon” (without quotes) and DreamPack menu will appear.
12. Click the top gray graphic in the DreamPack window and you will get a menu popup.

    

13. Go to commands and enable the options and enable the god command.
14. Type “god” in the password field to get in Windows.

You can also go to the DreamPackPL Passwords menu and select “Logon with wrong password and hash”. This option allows you to login with ANY password instead of using god everytime.

This method is easy enough for newbies to follow – it doesn’t require using the Recovery Console or any complicated commands. And it’s free – I mention that because you can pay $20 for an emergency download of Reset Windows Password utility which can help you reset/blank forgotten administrator password on all versions of Windows.

Let’s get started to learn how to hack Windows XP password for free during a Windows XP Repair. Here’s a step-by-step instructions to hack Windows XP password with a installation disc:

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be – and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)

2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your CD Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from CD”

3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.

4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now

5. The Licensing Agreement comes next – Press F8 to accept it.

6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair. It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”. Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.

7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.

8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”

9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.

10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair.

13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

Microsoft stores the password hashes of Windows user accounts in the registry hive c:\windows\system32\config\sam. This file is highly protected and not accessible while Windows is running even for the administrator user. To circumvent the protection and access the SAM file, we need to boot from a Live CD such as BackTrack so we can hack Windows password in the SAM registry file.

The method that I describe in this tutorial can works with any computer running Windows 7/Vista/XP system. To get started, you need to download a live edition of BackTrack Linux distribution and burn that ISO image to a CD (you could also burn BackTrack on a USB drive). Either way, you will need to boot in to Linux to hack your forgotten Windows 7/Vista/XP password.

How to Hack Windows 7/Vista/XP Password Using BackTrack?

1. First of all boot your target computer using BackTrack Live CD or USB drive.
2. Once Backtrack is booted, log in to the root user account using the default password: toor. Type in startx to start the GUI.
3. Now go for Application > Privilege Escalation > Password Attacks > Offline Attack > chntpw.
4. Identify and mount your Windows partition in read/write mode using below commands:
   umount /mnt/hda1
modprobe fuse
ntfsmount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
   If your hard disk is SATA type then you need to use /sda1 instead of /hda1 in the above steps.
5. To list out all the users in the Windows SAM registry hive:
   ./chntpw -l /mnt/hda1/windows/system32/config/SAM
6. To reset the password for any specific user:
   ./chntpw -u username /mnt/hda1/windows/system32/config/SAM

BackTrack is widely used by most tech-savvy Linux users to hack Windows login password. But if you don’t have much experience with Linux, it’s better to use another software to hack Windows 7/Vista/XP password – Reset Windows Password, which is a Live disk based on Windows PE operating system and makes it much easier for average computer users to hack Windows password on their own.
