try LoginRecovery.com. It can get all the passwords on your computer for free, as long as you can wait 2 days. or pay $10 and get it right away. It's very easy to use.

It can hack your password and override account permissions?

you could just get all the passwords on your computer at loginrecovery.com. It's easier than fooling around with linux.

Not easier. Different. Less control. Less privacy.

Different.

How is it less control, less privacy? You get all the passwords, or you can get individual passwords. Then just use some administrator account to do whatever. You can use the Administrator account, how much more control do you need?

Root access!!!

Anyway, joking aside, dont your parents regulate your PC usage? I mean all of the solutions are useless if your parents will just take the laptop away from you.

Hah, I have my own computer. I made it a few months ago(and I made the one I used before that, and paid for them both) And half the time I use my sister's laptop. My parents gave up on regulating my pc usage.

Less control while running the tool. Less privacy as in you're sending all your account info and passwords to a company over an internet connection.

true. But if you don't want them to know usernames and passwords, just change the username. It precedes the hash. That way, if anyone ever did look at it, they wouldn't associate the password with a username you'd use.

But yeah, you're right. It's still easier though.

Say it's easyer when you've actually tried those linux tools.

It's nothing more than popping in the disk, booting, and selecting a menu option.

Heck, you can make it so it does everything automatically.

hah, but with my way, you only have to pop in the disk and boot. No menu options to worry about.

My parents keep trying to regulate my PC usage. But it doesnt work. They take my power cord and monitor cords, but there's more lying around all over the house so its easy to get back on
