Guest xxp9 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Hi I'm xxp9 at hotmail dot com. I found that one can easily break into a locked Windows XP when a screen saver based on Adobe Flash Player is on. Click your right mouse button you'll get the context menu of the flash player. Then click "about Adobe Flash Player..." from the menu you'll get an IE! Then you can follow the famous "IME security hole". Run "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" from IE(open another IE window from "File"->"new window" if you failed to run cmd.exe from the first one), input net user xxp /add net localgroup administrators xxp /add to get the administrator's permission. I also post in my blog, though, in Chinese, at xxp9 dot spaces dot live dot com ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
