Wanna get a free License key for yourself ? Although not the latest version but its sufficient enough to do all your packing/unpacking. Continue reading for the instructions.

PC Welt, a German computer magazine has just released their latest issue in Germany, in which, they are running a promotion to provide their readers with a free license key of WinRAR 3.62 (English and German editions only).

WinRAR 3.62 is not the latest version. The latest version, as far as I can remember is version 3.71, but you should be happy that they are generous enough to provide use with a free license key. At least it would be sufficient for our unpacking needs.

To get the free license key, visit the promotional website of Winrar, and fill out the form given there. The key will be sent to your email! As this is a German promotion, the website is also in German. Use the following translations of the form fields to fill it:

  • Vorname (First Name)
  • Nachname (Last Name)
  • E-Mail-Adresse (E-Mail)
  • E-Mail bestätigen (E-Mail again)
  • Land (Country)

Select Anderes Land in the pulldown menu if you are not living in one of the mentioned countries. After you complete the form, click on the Abschicken (Send/Sumbit) button, and then check your mail. The mail will contain two links. The second one will lead you to the key, because the first one is the link to their special offer to purchase the latest version of WinRAR at a discounted price.

Then click Download des Lizenzschlüssels to download the key to your computer. Now download winrar, and install it. Then unpack the contents of the key you downloaded in the WinRAR directory. WinRAR willcheck for the key automatically and your copy of the application will be registered!

In thisarticle we will hide a text message inside a picture. We have choose for this tutorial a text file named topsecret.txt and a picture photo.jpg.

1. Move your files you want to combine in a new folder, in our case C:\topsecret.

2. Add the file you want to hide into a new RAR archive (in our example named topsecret.rar).

3. WinRar created the archive in the folder where our files are located.

4. Open Command Prompt (Start -> Run…, type cmd and press Enter).

5. Go to the folder where your files are located, in this case C:\topsecret by using the cd command.

6. Now type copy /b photo1.jpg + topsecret.rar hotchick.jpg where photo1.jpg is the original picture, topsecret.rar is the file that will be hidden, and hotchick.jpg is the file which contains both.

7. If you open hotchick.jpg you will see the photo1.jpg image.

8. Try opening the file with WinRar (select All files).

9. Now you can see the text file that is hidden in the picture.

A simple solution to make this more secure, is to use encryption on the RAR file or set a password when your create it.

How to Hack / Reset a Window XP SP2 Admin Password

First, Log in and go to your DOS command prompt ( Start > Run > Type in Cmd > Enter ) and enter these commands exactly:

Method #1 ( Not working in SP2 )

cd\
cd\windows\system32
mkdir adminxp
copy logon.scr adminxp\logon.scr
copy cmd.exe adminxp\cmd.exe
del logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr
exit

So what you just told windows to backup is the command program and the screen saver file. Then you edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command that’s in parenthesis (net user password). So if the admin user name is Admin and you want the password password123 then you would enter “net user Admin password123″ and now you’ve changed the admin password to password123. Log in, do what you want to do, copy the contents of temphack back into system32 to cover your tracks.

or you could use this way to gain administrator access on a local machine.

Method #2 ( Not working in SP2 )

net user tempadmin tempadminname /add
net localgroup Administrators tempadmin /add

*This is just administrator level on a local machine not in a domain.

Method #3 ( Working in SP2 )

What you need is just a windows XP installation CD:

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD and restart your PC.
  2. While the CD is boot, you may see “Press any key to boot from cd”, hit it.
  3. Just like normally windows installation and while you at Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now.
  4. Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.
  5. Setup screen will appear and this will show “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it” . You need to press R to begin the Repair process.
  6. Let the repair run until it reboot, after reboot will be start Installing Windows.
  7. At this stage is the most important part, while the lower left hand side of the screen display Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This step is the security hole and it will prompt you a command console.
  8. At this DOS prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and enter. you will gain a graphical access to your User Accounts same as your control panel
  9. At this stage, you may change the password you prefer or remove the password
  10. If you want to login windows without asking any password, type control userpasswords2 in the command prompt.
  11. After made the changes, close the windows, close the command prompt and continue windows repair. After repair done, you will have your new password to login windows, all the setting in there are still remain same.

This method without need to buy any special tools or software, we just use the security loop hole to crack down the password, but the disadvantage are time consuming. T

*Notice: I am not responsible on what you do by using this trick to gain admin rights.

** Method #1 will reset the admin’s password to your changed password and there is no way this could be reversed. Beware of this point.

*** Tested on Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Professional SP2
