I'd normally either use OPHcrack live cd or just use Hiren's boot cd which has password resetting tools (I think as mentioned above). logging in as admin would work as most of the time the admin password is blank due to the safe setting up of windows....:-). Sometimes OPHcrack live cd won't load due to not all machines being too linux friendly out of the box.. but Hiren's never lets me down (p.s. Hiren's is not the only live cd with tools built in). also Kon-boot sometimes fails to work it just locks the machine.

if all your downloads are legal and your ISP has sold you 'UNLIMITED' broadband then it's a case for trading standards. If that was my ISP and I was sold 'UNLIMITED' broadband i'd want it....

Hmm yeah I have a Dreamcast , a couple of master systems Mk1+2 a GameGear, a gameboy , a couple of 360 elite's, a couple of speccy 48's (rubber keys) just got rid of my Amiga 1200 and I have a Megadrive (mk1) with a mega-cd, PSP and a GBA SP and a few of my beloved Xboxen (mainly for media centres though... however also does most of my emulation.... )

yeah we still run AS400 too as did tesco the other day when I was in there.. and another local supermarket I know of. I know it's old but it works and to be fair it's quite a locked down system too.

just a thought , why was the hub powered in the first place? it's normally because usb can only handle a certain current to each port and thus our motherboard can only handle so much as well. The wall adaptor is extra power for those devices that need it , be careful to keep an eye on current usage, having said that you should be ok with the devices mentioned above

yeah 3 strike and then reboot and try again :).I agree most desktops will remove the password on a cmos reset. Laptops can have their own reset procedure (just requiring a little googling)normally involves taking it apart and any 4 digit code if it comes as standard is most likely generated via the serial number or the owners birth date... however if the computer actually boots an OS then it's fair game also try some of those 'backdoor' passwords that turn up when you google them...

why would they need GPS when triangulation works perfectly well? but thanks for the heads up on the smartphone app barry I might try that sometime....

nothing wrong with that, if it was genuinely from the heart....

my only input would be to sort out some cooling for it

I was gonna build something based on smartphones because you can get hold of an old c550/c500 cheaply and upgrade it (if needed) to wm6 and it's easy to build apps for it and it supports bluetooth for a gps unit however what put me off is such devices already exist. I remember seeing a project board with a gps unit and gsm although it was kinda pricey in comparison. http://tinkerlog.com/2007/07/13/interfacin...s-mobile-phone/

whoa , just had a thought! if I could get a job working for the library IT department , and work my way up then I could get Admin rights. hope this works for you too...

well eveyone has their own favourite , however if you are short of ram , use a distro accordingly but it's Ubuntu for me too :)

WTF? of course it's a scam! right down to the fact it chooses your locality as the header name. Did anyone notice how the signatures look totally different in the two pictures with the cheques?

there are some good instructables about making bracelets with old motherboards and ram.the last time I had some 30pin I put it in an atari ST.

Ideally you need a password on a bios or maybe locking the hard drive with a password (word of warning don't forget or loose it though). having said that if you were to add a good bios password and take all the available boot options out other than the hard drive then make your case lockable (weld it together ideally :-)) then add a good OS password to a *nix system , it will stop alot of hacks...

yeah I hate to say it , but VNC is a pain because you have to configure port forwarding on routers and if the person is not technically minded and your a distance away then you have problems , teamviewer bypasses all these problems...

first things first watch out for the cameras and the watchful librarian. Then figure out what OS is being used (duh) and if the computer can be booted from other sources other than it's HD , say a CD or USB drive. I have seen a few tools being demonstrated on a few shows , check some of them out and as stated above Google is always your friend! maybe even check out some of the various boot cd's that are about?

what can you say... Torrenting is a fairly newish idea as far as P2P is concerned and as the man claims a victory on closing one down , another P2P idea comes along. Personally I rarely use Torrents and as far as I'm concerned it's only handy if I can't get what I want elsewhere.. after all winners don't do warez?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/11/13/br...cking_pentagon/ ok you gotta hand it to this guy , he's kinda knackered...... he's gonna face no charges in the UK but he's gonna end up extradited to america..

the last time I looked up some FRS channels were used over here for the fire brigade (although even they must have gone digital by now?) and 4M and 10M equipment is quite easy to get hold of , however it's all a case of antenna size etc. anyhow the reason why I asked is because I am breaking down some modified PMR gear I've had. I sold my PA4DEN modified FM1100 however I still have a Tait 2010 on UHF which was being used as a simplex repeater on 446 , some Tait 3020's on UHF and a couple of kenwood 350's ex police all modded on 446 and some of those horrid HT600e's if your interested...

I was wondering why this would be useful on 'Doze when it's really easy to change an IP address however on reading the script what it actually does is change your IP to a static of 192.168.1.100 which is great but what happens when it's say a 192.168.2.XX or 192.168.0.XX ??

hey metatron, I've just found this thread and was scanning through and I was amazed to see that someone who has a 'novice,intermediate and full licence' operates on FRS because it has better coverage than 446 , why not just use 70CM if you legally can? if not why not just get hold of some ex PMR equipment which can easliy do 5W (yes some of it can do the 6.25K spacing...) and modify it for 446???

Just a plain old home network :)

...And thats how you get those nice unlocked routers in your neighbourhood or those lame WPA keys, not to mention if you need to set up any DSL. but seriously you are right it isn't rocket science....
