Hacking a computer is a useful and, at rare
times, an important skill to pick up. Below are instructions for getting past a
password (if you find yourself logged out of a computer or want to check up on
your child or spouse), gaining remote access to a computer (to check on a user
or help locate a stolen machine), or crack a wifi password (in the event of an
emergency, such as if you become lost in an unfamiliar city and you need to
look up directions).

Hacking Logins
1
Boot
the computer in safe mode.

4
Type
in “control userpasswords2”.[1]
5
Change
passwords for any account. This
is probably going to be obvious to the user, so you may have to tell them a little
white lie. Try something along the lines of: "Oh, I hear computers glitch
like that sometimes. Click the button twice. You can always type in recover
password if you get locked out and then set a new password" (in which case
you will want to set the password to the account to recoverpassword or whatever
you tell Nikhil).[2]

Remote Hacks
1
Download
the program LogMeIn. There is a free
version, though you can purchase a subscription if that better meets your
needs.[3]
·
The program will need
to be downloaded to the computer you intend to remotely view or use. This makes
it useful for gaining access to your computer if it is stolen or for checking
up on your teen’s daytime activities during the summer.
·
You will have to make
an account with the LogMeIn website in order to use the software.
- 2
- Log in to the website. Log in to LogMeIn’s website.
- 3
- Navigate to the “My Computers”
page. It should open when you
sign in.
- 4
- Add the computer you intend to
remotely access. You will see an “Add
computer” button on the page. Click that and fill in the info for the
computer you intend to access.
- 5
- Click the name for the computer
once it’s added.
- 6
- Log on to the computer. This means you’ll have to know the username and
password for the account you’re trying to access or view.
- 7
- Click “Remote Control”. If you’re trying to be sneaky (such as to spy on
the user), try to move the mouse as little as possible and don’t click on
anything.
- 8
- Log out when you’re done.
