How to Break Into a Windows PC (and Prevent It from Happening to You)

If you're trying to break into a Windows computer—whether you've forgotten your password…

Both methods outline ways to reset the Mac OS X password. While there are cracking utilities like John the Ripper or THC-Hydra, they're either complicated to use or expensive to buy, so we won't go into them here like we did with Windows (which has the very easy-to-use Ophcrack).

Method One: Reset the Password with the OS X Installer

If you have the Mac OS X installer CD handy, it's super easy to change the administrator account's password. Just insert the CD into the target Mac and hold the 'c' key as you boot up the computer. It will boot into the Mac OS X installer. If the computer in question doesn't have a CD drive, you can either hold 'Option' at boot and choose the Recovery partition at startup, or put the Mavericksor Yosemite installer on a flash drive. Once it does, head up to Utilities in the menu bar and choose Password Reset. You'll get a window prompting you to select the drive on which OS X is installed; so choose the drive you want to get into and select the user whose password you want from the drop-down menu. Note: If you're using the Mountain Lion installer or later, you won't see this menu item. Instead, choose Terminal from the menu, type in resetpassword, and press Enter to get to the password reset menu.

OS X Mavericks is available in the Mac App Store now, but it's only an upgrade—but if you want …

Method Two: Reset the Password in Single User Mode

If you don't have an installer CD handy, you just need to do a bit of fancy command-line footwork to achieve the same end as the CD method. Boot up the computer, holding Command+S as you hear the startup chime. The Mac will boot into single user mode, giving you a command prompt after loading everything up. If the Mac is running Snow Leopard or below, type the following commands, hitting Enter after each one and waiting for the prompt to come up again before running the next one:

If the Mac is running Lion or above, you'll instead want to use the following commands:

Replace whitsongordon with the user whose account you want to access and lifehacker with the new password you want to assign to that user. If you get an error message about com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist on a Lion or Mountain Lion machine, just ignore it—the password reset should still work.

If you don't know the user's username, it should be pretty easy to run ls /Users at any time during single user mode to list all the home folders on the Mac, which usually correspond to the usernames available on the Mac. Note that the user's password is different than the root password. If you want access to the more secured parts of their machine—like their password keychain—you can change their root password by running this commandafter loading opendirectoryd.plist:

Once finished, you should have access to most of their system, including their saved passwords for other apps.

How to Protect Your Mac from Being Broken Into

Both of these methods are easy to pull off, but if your victim has encrypted their hard drive, you won't be able to see or reset the password. So, to protect yourself from these attacks, it's a good idea to turn on FileVault under System Preferences > Security.

However, for even more protection, you can set up a firmware password on your machine. Just boot up from the OS X Installer CD and go to Utilities > Firmware Password Utility and set a firmware password. This prevents other folks from being able to boot up your computer from another hard disk, CD, or even in single user mode. Someone with bad intentions could still bypass it, but it would require quite a bit of alone time with your hardware. So, for best results, you'll probably want to have both layers of protection: encrypt your drive with FileVault and set up a firmware password using the installer CD.

As always, these are just a few of the easiest ways to break into a Mac. Try it for yourself on your own machine—you'll be shocked at how easy it is. The takeaway? Set up FileVault and a firmware password to keep yourself protected.
