How To Install Any Software Without Admin Rights [2021] [EASY]

Try **net user video "password" /add** (replacing "password" with a password)
I have no idea why it worked in the video, when that isnt even the correct command
That SHOULD be the correct command to create the user
it worked probably because the user already existed or it existed and was deleted but some settings were not reset
great video nevertheless, thank you
@@riko.4174 possibly, I am genuinely not sure haha
@harrycw He said that in the video
@harrycw Lol its fine
my school has a fully custom security system, on a private network and the IT department have had years of removing security flaws, its safe to say I'm never getting admin although 10% of the time when my friend logs on, he has administrator which is probably because the IT guys used his pc earlier
There are few things that might be mentioned.
1. school networks are usually centralized under server that runs Win Server and Active Directory. Meaning that after you reload your machine, all changes will be reverted and you anyway only have access to local machine as admin. You did not escalate your rights outta local PC :)
2. if your admin likes his job, operations like win recover will be logged, as well as history of every CLI in the network. Some better networks use deamons to realtime check on commands that are used, which likely will not be case in school network, but still, carefull what you are doing
3. as far as it might sound silly, if you hack into system that you are not explicitely allowed to, you in fact are breaking law. I doubt anybody would call police on you for this, but there might be consequences. So keep it in mind.
Hacking is awesome, cracking things that are not ment to be cracked is great feeling, but choose your steps carefully :)
Windows does not use daemons, and the restore on reboot is not a standard feature in AD, they might be using faronics for that though.

@@CocoaBeans660 Shut up bro you’ll probably get nothing done with your life and die sad and miserable.
Can't you just disable the wifi though? And also there is a easier method to get admin that I believe still works and you only need a razer USB for headphones or a mouse or something, it doesn't grant the account admin but it lets you open a admin CMD prompt which can do basically everything
+ settings is normally blocked
As the IT Manager of a School, If you can get this to work, without getting caught, i'd be very impressed.
well i did, guess the it guy doesn't care about his job
@@AndIWonderIf Highly likely.
i did a different way, and it took the it guy 8 months to find out lol
oh wow
@@BlindingNebula Sigma ohi Rizz
This is a good way to get fired from your job or kicked out of school. Our security tools would instantly hit on the local account being created or given admin rights.
Not all schools have security tools though. Until a few years ago, "security" at my local school district was the repair guy who would block devices from the network with hostnames that looked like phones, and would disable accounts if teachers got suspicious.
For most of the time I was in high school, I was running my own Windows install and nobody cared. I even had my phone on the network but named like one of their computers and it never got blocked.
Can't someone unplug the Ethernet and disconnect wifi, then fully disable Windows firewall/security once they've reached the ease of access full privileges cmd prompt?
I left school in 2017 but even back then our school detected this
I did this, and never got kicked out of my highschool 🤷🏻♂️
how would you get punished if they dont know who you are lad 😂😂
It's quite funny seeing this.
I'm 35 now, and when I was 14/15 we used to use command prompt, from a Windows install CD, to replace Sticky Keys with Command Prompt to do the exact same thing for admin rights.
The good old sethc trick.... helped me out a lot when revisiting old Windows 7/XP VMs
If I had known this 5 years ago...
I remember having to do some workarounds to extract games and download separate DLLs to be able to play in class.
Funny history:
My games folder on the school computer was about 120GBs and had an FTP server to share with my friends.
One day the size of the folder caught the attention of the IT guys and they deleted everything.
It scared me so much that I stopped downloading stuff there.
Oh, good times.
Did you at least re-title the folder name?
Wait did you also use a program to extract exe/msi setups and then sometimes it just worked? I thought almost no one else figured that out back in the XP days!!!!
Edit: Just remembered the name, Universal Extractor, which so old since then the dev abandoned Windows but he mentioned someone in made a Universal Extractor 2 to continue his idea
got a question: can my school see that i have made a new admin account for the User account control prompt?
@@Marshall1q. It's possible but there's no way to know what software they are running.
@@celestialsylveon6453I still use Universal Extractor 2 (UniExtract2) to this day.
It's important to mention this will make a local administrator not a domain administrator so it will only work on this computer.
Yes that is correct
yup yup
Is there any way to create a user with administrator permissions to use on any computer on the domain?
@@leo___. yea try this on the domain controller
@@leo___. Nope you'd need access to the domain controller where the active directory is stored. And unless you have remote access to the server you aren't going to be able to create a domain user.
imagine not setting up a BIOS password and one of your IT special students does this LMAO!
edit: HOLY SHIT! Didn't expect to see that many likes!
edit 2: MOM I'M FAMOUS!!!
BIOS password didnt help them at all hahahahaha (one of my other IT friends just opened up our old ass pcs and took out the cmos battery to reset the bios hahahahaha)
@@varram3488 lmao! I forgot you could do that! XD!
Well, atleast a extra step for those who are not tech savvy
At Alice Deal Middle School, we have Surface Go’s. Using UEFI, and no accessible CMOS battery. I wiped the computer, installed Ubuntu, and then BIOS locked it so that they couldn’t reset it with USB drive. Ran much faster than with Windows 10 with all the unnecessary programs that they bought but didn’t use. Then, I did the same except with Windows 11 or operating system of their choice for everyone at school. None of the teachers noticed when everyone was playing Rocket League in the cafeteria on their computers.
@@varram3488 You can have speical BIOS (hard coded password) put on a PC before it ships to prevent that. The last company I worked did that.
my school doesnt have one.
When I was in secondary school almost 10 years ago now I used a simple bios hack to set up an admin password on a computer (the school computers used a system called impero to have access to all computers so certain accounts on the system would have access) what they didn’t realise is that admin accounts automatically had complete access to the system that controlled all the computers, so I was able to control any computer on the network. My only mistake was letting my friends in on the secret, they got caught messing around and snitched instantly, the only reason they didn’t exclude me is because I pointed out an “extreme flaw in the security system”. Fast forward 10 years and I have a computer science degree and i’m working in cyber security
Villain ark story... truly something to bring up in your interviews lmao
brooo I just did something similar to you and I got in trouble and said the exact same reason as you..
Good job for outing yourself as a snitch@@i_changed_my_channel_name1417
Ah good old impero.
It was fun being able to see a whole classroom of computer screens all at once.
Only difference is that I was actually authorised to use it :p
Honestly I was so tempted to try something like this back in the day. My school had a mix of macs and windows machines. The macs were used for productivity (video editing etc) and the win machines were for general use. I never wanted to be in trouble so I minded my business haha. Plus the IT guy was fucking AWESOME and I didn't want to make his life harder lol
the IT guys at my school look like stereotypical discord moderators, no joke.

same at my school@@CalebDNM
I remember when I was in high school I found out I could disable the web filter by making a registry change. I had the command to do it memorized, and I'd often do it on school computers even though I had no need to access blocked sites, just because I was a rebel :)
I don't remember the command now, but it was a "reg" command, and it disabled the web proxy in the Internet settings. As a side effect, when the proxy server went down, this allowed the Internet to continue working. I never got caught, because I'd always hide the console window off the edge of the screen while I typed it.
registry changes require admin rights, soo that computer was set up like ass if you were able to do this.
@@watvannou IIRC the computers there had Windows XP. This was circa 2010.
Still though, what about HKEY_CURRENT_USER? That doesn't require admin, does it? (Though I don't know for a fact that the setting I changed was located there.)
Merry Christmas! just thought to say🕊🕊
dosent running regedit need admin though?@@Sparkette
@@jamesYValley I don't know if it did on XP. Regardless, I didn't use regedit; I used the "reg" console command.
I remember when I was in middleschool and windows 7 had a backdoor that allowed you to access the administrative priviledges command line. I did it 3 times and got caught each time :)
When using the local account, you don't need the computer name. It's possible to just use an asterisk (*) (correction: that should be a period, not an asterisk) instead. Also, don't forget to change the files back that you renamed in the start of the video. It can't be done from within Windows. You have to go through the maintenance routine again.
I always use .\username for local accounts
@@Rastla Thanks for the reply. You're correct, it's a period, not an asterisk. I type it out of habit, but thought of the wrong thing when I was making my comment. It's just like using the period to indicate "current folder" when typing at the command line, using the period here mean "current computer." Actually, I'm sure it's still "current folder." It's just that the folder is in the Active Directory structure instead of the file structure.
remember the days when they didn't almost force you to use an online account (unless you go offline)?
We prevent custom boot/changing boot devices with a BIOS password for all of our school devices, so you likely wouldn't be able to reboot into recovery mode.
Our firewalls and web proxies will prevent internet access unless the authenticated AD user is known. We also block the downloads of .exe .msi etc.
Constantly trying to battle the things that students will try to do lol
But you can Hit the restart Button while Pressing Shift in the start Menü ir Logon Screen.
I was doing this kind of stuff during high school all the time. At one point me and my friends even managed to get domain administrator accounts with which we could log in to any pc at school. Funny thing is that I actually found out this way that I wanted to study IT and make my job out of it.
I recommend, when changing the name of cmd to utilman, that you instead duplicate it and name it utilman.
This
true
this comment should be pinned
i would do this:
copy utilman.exe utilmanold.exe
del utilman.exe
copy cmd.exe utilman.exe
shutdown /r /t 01
What's the difference?
In high school I was on a robotics team, our computers kept getting imaged and we’d lose our software. So eventually I installed windows from scratch on the computer and put a BIOS boot password on it. The IT guy there at the time who I am now friends with told me he shorted out the motherboard and committed warranty fraud so HP sent a new motherboard to get replaced.
Huh, the IT guy didn't know about taking out a CMOS battery?
Too new for that to work. BIOS password was stored on a flash chip@@DragDenDFO
I did this back when I was in the equivalent of 9th grade. One of the teachers got suspicious after I was able to install some software without needing the admin password. After I told them what I did they were cool and let me stay admin for the rest of the time. Got real lucky.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about this old glitch. Though, it's so old, it's probably not fair to call it a glitch or bug.... You can stop this by just encrypting the drive.
replace the drive
My school and 261 others have a critical flaw that allow anyone to get domain admin privileges. For those who don't know it means administrator privileges on *every computer* including the AD server.
On 262 schools, I could get this access if I made a script and sent it to other people.
Reminds me of my days back in highschool in 2010. Me and my group would remote access into random Macs in the school and make them sing and cuss. We controlled the whole system and took the school a whole year to figure out how to stop it.
No way. I remember using this exact same trick to remove the parental controls on my laptop in like 2008!! Absolutely crazy to see that this exploit still works in 2023 😂
I tried this at school once, but when I realized that it had a bios password, and to bypass it would involve me opening it up to take out the cmos battery, I gave up. The room was just big enough that i wouldnt be seen so long as I stayed in my seat and did my tinkering from there, but if i got up to go around back to open up the case, i wouldve been seen. Im not sure what the consequences wouldve been for doing this but I wasnt willing to risk being caught doing something potentially illegal for no reason.
I prefer renaming cmd to the sticky keys executable. I've also seen a way to get into this without a install disk. It has to do with force powering down during boot. Then next time it boots up there are prompts normally not there asking you if you want to try and repair. Then somewhere in those menus you can navigate to system 32
my school laptops had a custom windows iso made for my state (I live in Australia), the iso disabled the force boot, and would also randomly set my utilman.exe and sethc.exe back to the normal ones
please tell me more about the ways you can do this because i need kalilinux to hack people😊
@@milo8734 Omg it is the real Milo!!!!
There is a easy way me and my friends found. If you use process hacker(a remade version of task manager that isn't disabled) you can boot to the boot options and get admin cmd threw a few buttons
What we did was start the computer in safe mode with networking, install firefox, set up proxy and we could access any website or install any app. The only downside to this was that our school ran the server edition of windows so any apps installed in safe mode wouldn't stay when restarted in normal mode and there was no sound in safe mode. We'd play counter strike portable, but these days it's no longer available.
Clever. Enable BitLlocker drive encryption so there can be no access to the drive outside of the OS to prevent tampering. And BIOS password that’ll be required to boot anything besides the actual installed OS. Basically, having probably lockdown systems should prevent this from happening.
I have been trying to get admin on a PC with BitLocker. I tried everything, from recovery to password brute forcing, to get access to my system. The big secret, is Linux. As they forgot to disable booting from the external storage media, I can boot from Linux Ubuntu, which doesn’t know what BitLocker is. That was my key to breaching the security system.
For me to get admin on my school computer, it was as simply as booting into safe mode and then deleting Bitlocker after changing the owner of the files containing it. Then I just created a password for the default administrator account and was able to log into it. Plus my school hadn’t implemented any other security measures until after I already had access to admin, so once they started downloading new software, I could just delete it. 🤭
But security on my school is so tight that not even the administrator of the school itself had the security keys. This actually made one of the computers there USELESS as it was locked behind so many layers of security. Although the one thing that will break most, if not all of the school computers is Linux.
@@midnightquad can you say step by step on how to bypass it I have a dell laptop with bitlocker and I downloaded linux on my USB
@@_bruhinator2226 i just did booting into safe mode and tried deleting bitlocker but wont work can you help me? im trying to do something important from school.
It says you need to sign in as an admin to continue 🤦♂️
I'm pretty sure it depends on the version of windows 10 if it's an older update I think it will work if it's newer it won't or the other way around but don't quote me on it
@@Vaniwwahis is windows 11
That's why you need to do a mission impossible to acquire the password lol

oh man i wish this video existed when I was in school, I made a fake login screen which would send credentials to an ldap server. it was super sketchy because i had to tell my teacher that my pc was shutting down every time i entered my password in order to get an admin over to attempt sign-in. it was worth it in the end because the remote control software lead to tonnes of fun shenanigans before i got banned.
I made the same thing recently because all the machines have same admin pass
Instead sent to discord webhook
Ok correct me if im wrong, But shouldn't the schools invest in a bigger computer lab with places to do this without getting in trouble?
little hint for minute 3:20 - You can also type .\ for a local login instead of typing the full computer name. so for the user in the video it would be: ".\video"
very helpful! I did not know that was a thing, thank you!!
It's even more doable than this if you're comfortable running things in command line. You can get into any windows 10/11 machine without drive protection following a similar method, and without having any premade boot media on you. Super useful when you aren't expecting to need to get into a machine all of a sudden.
I actually did this in school. :) This was especially useful in the computer science classroom to install Steam with games or other programs.
why would you install steam, you're just risking your account
did u get into trouble
@@bloosixjr7505I didn't save my account password (always logged in manually), and I have steam guard installed.
At school, nobody cared who did what with the computers. The only thing I encountered was that sometimes the system administrator rolled back all the changes. I had to download the games again.
Same, I did it with a backdoor in Windows 7 lol. Anytime the tech office took the laptop back they noticed they couldn't login for some silly weird reason..
jay last question. I need a computer with access to recovery drive but does it matter if the computer has a different windows operating system will it still work the same? (when I put the recovery drive usb into a newer system)
It should be fine
windows 7 to windows 10 school computer hopefully itll work@@JayTechTips
I remember watching this a bit ago and thinking "huh, thats pretty cool" and now i forgot the password to a 7 year old laptop so im actually using it. Thanks
My college was set so if you needed admin access, it would just say you aren’t allowed and didn’t give an administrative login prompt
Only issue is that most schools nowadays use something that protects the OS drive from modification. For example, at the colleges I went to, they used a program that would basically reset the partition or Windows installation upon reboot. So you could make changes to the OS, but when the system rebooted, the preboot software would reset and reload a preset boot image and configuration.
Deep freeze.
But, are you sure schoole aren't dumb?
@@joester4lifereinstall windows lol
My school did not do anything to the bios of the school computers , so i installed Arch on it. Whats funny, is that even after I was found out, they still did nothing the bios. Im glad that they did not lock the bios becaus, the device had bitlocker and was Aziur enrolled, so this would not have worked.
now everyone on school is an arch user
If they‘ve got a full bitlocker encrypted drive you should be unable to resize it outside of windows… which means you either had administrator rights to resize the hide, connected an external drive or you aren‘t telling the whole story
@@fritzlb I don’t use Windows, so I don’t really know how bitlocker works, but encrypting a partition would not make you unable to resize it. Maybe bitlocker could use encryption such that if the size of the partition is changed, the data becomes inaccessible, but it wouldn’t be able to prevent the change in size of the partition.
@fritzlb Sure you can. Your SSD doesn't care what filesystems your partitions use.
@@fritzlbNo I just destroyed the partition and reinstalled windows when I was done.
I once recieved the privilege to be allowed to jailbreak my iPad at school. But when I had all the tweaks I wanted, I hadn't had enough of tinkering, so I installed an iOS beta and during that process removed the school profile from the iPad. The it-specialist got a bit annoyed but couldn't really care much for it. However, now that I've gotten a computer, I'm not doing something similar, it's just not worth the hassle, and what time do you have to do something else on that crappy piece of hardware anyway?
Replacing utilman with cmd doesnt work since 2019, at least when the school hasnt fully disabled the Windows Defender. If the school uses a third party solution and fully disables Windows Defender in group policy (which is btw not recommended), this works.
But this also requires access to BIOS (or at least Booting via USB set as first priority) and if the school has no BIOS-PW/hasn´t changed Boot Order or removed USB-Boot all together... says much about the school itself or IT-Department of the school.
you should revert the renaming process at the end or it would still open cmd and people can find out
there is this rule: You touch it, you own it
They removed chrome extensions and the ability to sign in to other emails on google chrome for my chromebook is there any way to disable that, would be great if there was but I barely know anything about that type of thing so idk
As a data security IT for a casino, the second that thing would get turned off, booted into recovery mode, local admin account created, and AD account permission passed it would've been flagged into my email. Roughly ~1.5 minutes.
great! not every org is like that though
my school legit disabled the settings app dawg
I can’t find utilman…
We don’t have access to settings app on our school computers. Get recked, my school may have actually done something right for once, despite sucking at everything and screwing everything up, including locking my computer class out of their computers, as well as most of the other computer classes, for a week.
A administrator would lock down the computer. bitlocker or AD roles would do that, so the c drive is locked. or disabled boot drives in bios, set bios password.
Doesn't let me open cmd, it says something like "you need to login as admin butthere are no admin accounts"
that only happens if you boot into the normal Windows recovery, this means you've done it wrong and need to try again :/
How about doing a video about exflitrating the SAM, SYSTEM and SECURITY registry keys and cracking them in impacket?
my own personal computer randomly got admin blocked so im suspecting signing into my school account to do assignments caused this... i cant do anything on my own computer anymore. no settings, no cmd, not even RUN.
if the windows is installed from lan config would it make the user if there's no password? like would it create a user i can use on all computers on the network?
When I try to change the the name to utilman2 it says says “…file might become unstable are you sure you want to change it” and when I click yes says “This program can’t run This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator.” What can I do to fix this?
did you boot into recovery mode? or are you doing it through your user account in Windows?
if its still blocked, it means your admin has patched this :/
U have to click on cmd 2 times or change where it’s saying File Name at below Save as type
When i click the cmd it tells me to enter the password for the admin
my school is very strict with their pcs :( doesnt even let us play browser games, let alone do things that happened in the video. the IT guy is very smart too and will likely catch on.
Eh, people don't skim through the user profiles on the C drive much, speaking as someone who works in IT unless the PC is running out of space. unless someone knows you did this.
Back in the day a Norton utility disk could change attributes. I Miss the old Norton Disk utilities. Using DE (Disk Editor) you could search for and find the Passwd file the remove the Root:: password making it blank then create your own after rebooting. You could do the same with Windows, however I don't remember the exact procedure. (Back then this even worked on encrypted Windows drives) So much has changed.
You could also replace sethc.exe with a copy of cmd.exe, this method wont work if your computer has bios lock, is asure enrolled, has bitlocker on, or recovery mode needs admin.
If the Recovery Mode needs admin, you can just use a USB. That's what I did.
like when youre in recovery mode without admin access, youll pulg usb to run from it?@@jeremykylemoment
Will there be any *consequences* for changing password at school? For example like activating school network security or corrupting the pc’s file
probably😂
all depends on what your schools process is for these things
Well technically, this is sort of illegal if you do it on a school pc, but as long as they don't find out you should be fine, plus even if you do find out, they will be more impressed/surprised than mad, you can revert it all back very easily anyway.
its a breach of IT policy, could get expelled for fucking with shit like that - school IT tech
@@som7905 In some countries, tampering with computer systems is even a straight out felony. But if at school done with no harm intent, people usually just get suspended.
Ok, your method will work most of the time, but also introduces a problem if you intend to leave the backdoor in place. Why not just stick to command line by using something as simple as "cd windows\system32" once you are on the correct drive? "ren utilman.exe utilman.bak", then "copy cmd.exe utilman.exe", that way you still have a functional cmd.exe after the process. Also, a lot of AV will delete utilman.exe if it has an invalid checksum(especially school laptops), so you should also write protect it with "attrib utilman.exe +R". You may still need to spam it a lot as soon as the splash comes up, since some will also prevent execution as well. Of course I in no way endorse this activity without parental ownership and approval of the device in question. I also recommend school owned laptops should have bitlocker on by default.
If you Boot in Safe Mode, AV won'5 Block the Fake utilman
Anyone with a chromebook you would need a google enterprise account to sign in with and you can reset your chromebook to factory settings by either unplugging the battery for 30 seconds then trying to turn it back on or turning it off and holding down the reload button and escape key then turning on your computer, let go of those keys, press ctrl + d or ctrl + shift + d, and following directions on screen. You also won’t be able to connect to your schools wifi after this just in case some of you were wondering
Funny story for me, I joined the it club at my high school, and I asked my it manager if I could reset my laptop (Mac air laptop) because of storage reasons. What they give you is a modified install file. What I did is just use a normal one, and I got away with it.
I usually just reset my school laptop. School doesnt do shit abt it u js gotta be secretive abt it
Sounds like a great way to get into a world of trouble if your admin isn't aware of how to counter this. People are literally going to risk their future over being able to play games in class, because teens are immature.
Subbed, don't even need to do this, just appreciate small creators making great content
I appreciate that, genuinely thank you so much
Couldn’t you just do the Shift+Restart thing and then get into the recovery Command Prompt right from there? I mean, you said that’s one of the ways to get to recovery media, but why do you need the recovery media if you can just get right in through Windows itself? Is that to get around BIOS security or something? Or can you only access the recovery Command Prompt through “Repair This PC?”
As if you do it with the shift + restart method it will prompt you for the admin password when you go to open cmd in "repair this pc"

Did this to a school computer ages ago - BIOS password on too (so I couldn't use Boot Menu), but they forgot to make USBs the lowest priority on the boot list. So, if a USB was inserted, it would boot to the USB automatically, without requiring the Boot Menu. 🤣
EDIT: The school's laptops' Wi-Fi profile was so easy to re-import with all required certificates too, but sometimes I had to unplug a nearby printer's Ethernet cable to get some Internet access. 💀
Here's what i wanted to share about my school:
The computers in my school all have admin accounts. But no one did install a game on any of them. Why? Well, we can only visit the computer classroom only on IT lessons. I think you can visit it on break time, but not turn on the computers. Second of all, why, if you already can play games on your phone, or just play the web games during IT lessons?
I do sometimes hope that someone installs a game afterall on one of those bad boys.
Microsoft failed to install real security on the WinOS login or the user accounts.
So why should we trust Microsoft security on the network, the firewall, the malware defender, the browser, etc?
Thank you also ever since i have done this I can activate the school intercom

What happens if your school has disabled USB support on all their computers, and also don't have DVD drives?
for those whose computers aren’t working due to cmd no longer existing!
go back into recovery mode and go back to the system32 folder using notepad, then change the names of cmd and utilman
first you change “utilman” to “utilman2”
then you change “cmd” to “cmd”
then you can change “utilman” back to “utilman”
then refresh and go back to your login screen and carry on as usual
also: if it doesn’t work before you do the step where you change your user to admin, try renaming cmd to “Utilman” with a capital U
the computer shouldn't "stop working" - however, you are now the second person to mention this being an issue.
I am planning on making a better version of this video, so I will be sure to include this information
thanks bro
utilman doesn’t exist ☹️
@@yperoxi it does u need to refresh the computer like 5 times
Whenever I click on command prompts it says “you need to sign in as an administrator to continue, but there aren’t any administrator accounts on this PC.” What do I do about that?
can you send me an email jharvey@skyeternal.net with a photo/screenshot of that message?
did u find a way too do it cause I have the same problem
It is the same for me too
@@JayTechTips i have rhe same problem
@@Slime-if2qs did u update it to windows 11?
It was saying the same for me but when I try it on windows 11 it works
I've tried this previously but have found there seems to be some local windows policy that stops the lockscreen cmd from being able to run any commands that interact or directly change data on the local disk if the computer is Domain Joined. Such as you cannot Run tree, cd, sfc, dism, or anything that can show, change files or Data on the drive. You can still run gpupdate however and any network commands like ping and whatnot. Otherwise it shows an exception access violation, I've tried this across multiple domains and have seen the same results, This method Works on any workstation that is local though. I assume its because of settings changes that happens when a pc is first added to a domain and is required to restart to make "Changes".
many companies/ school etc, will have group policies once the system is domain joined, for instance my company wont let windows updates run when the pcs are domain joined. so yes it is likely that your IT has put a lot of group policies in place once the device is on the domain :) . stops users trying stuff like this and breaking things they shouldnt XD
@@ChilledoutredheadI'm fairly certain that its a Windows Localgroup policy rather than something the DC gives to the workstation. Because I've used test DC's with no default policies or security groups whatsoever. Something that the end user pc just loads when its domain joined. If someone knows more about it I'm interested to know if theres a way around it.
Unfortunately, nowadays, schools use chromebooks and go guardian.
So the chance of *not* getting caught is now slim to none
No… not every school uses chomeOS, in fact most don’t.
[SOLUTION BELOW] Now my computer is broken because utilman doesn't exist anymore and anyways it didn't work 😢
Is there any way to fix this?
Edit: I could fix it by myself. Here are the steps for the people that want to fix it:
1: Go on cmd on Recovery Drive or Windows Install Media
2: Write "notepad", then click "Save As..."
3: Click on "This PC", "Windows (C:)", "System32" and then search for the original cmd file (renamed as "utilman", then rename it to "cmd2". Then, click again "This PC", "Windows (C:)", System32 and then find the original utilman file (renamed as "cmd"), rename it as "utilman". Then, redo the "This PC", "Windows (C:)" and "System32" and then rename the cmd2 for "cmd".
4: Close the file explorer, notepad and cmd and the click "Shutdown".
5: There you go, your cmd and utilman is all fixed like it used to be!
Lmao it wouldn’t be broken.
Did I not mention in the video that you need to rename them back once you’re finished? My mistake if not. I’ll be making another soon I think as I messed a few parts up.
I’ll be sure to include this info.
@@JayTechTipswhen I tried to change "utilman" to "cmd" I count find it
@@xion_11 are you on the X drive or the C drive?
Command prompt isn’t an option when i try to click on advanced settings. Do you have a fix for that or do you know what the problem may be?
It means your device has extra restrictions in place
@@JayTechTips that or u might have to press more recovery options
@@ak_s_4d oh yeah! I forgot about that’s
Great video. I was wondering if there was an updated version for Windows 11 because I think they removed the ease of access menu and some other stuff changed.
It works the exact same way in windows 11 :)
Lol I can see so many comments of how people snuck games into school when they were younger, using some complicated-ass ways
nowadays, when you go home, you can just upload a game onto your google drive, then when you get to school, download it onto your schools computer on the provided account
(note: at my school, if you try and log into your computer account the next day, everything in downloads is gone, so move it to documents.)
(note 2: for extra security, make a new folder named "classwork" and fill it with a bunch of documents from your ACTUAL schoolwork, then hide it in there)
*much easier these days*
i don’t have utilman in my files
This can lead to big trouble. Beware of cyber rules at your school or work.
I have the problem that the computer's hard drive does not appear in the virtual machine, I have tried to add it as a shared folder and nothing, perhaps it is mentioned in the video, but since I do not speak English I don't understand it much, talking to the class the idea was given to use a USB with Linux and rename the files from there, but I don't know if it will work
Is there a way to get past the cmd closing after opening ease of access. Because ive noticed if I restart the computer and as soon as login loads I can open and it and use it, but then after 10 seconds it just closes and closes fastly any time iI try to open it. So might need another way if possible.
I somehow managed to get access to the backend server of our university, and got the remote access to that server. I did not do anything there, but a few months later I was called by the IT guys and my internet and some other privileges from the university wifi were gone. I had to beg them and promised that this won't happen again. It was scary but fun haha
I followed all the steps but when i clicked ease of access it didnt bring up command prompt
then you haven't done it right, try again and make sure you follow it closely :)
I guess i did do it wrong cause now command prompt does show up but then it closes almost immediately, any way around that?
@@paradoxcronos6031 The exact same thing happens to me, even with other methods. And it's not just my PC, either
if there’s another user on your pc with admin, try clicking ease of access on their user
What?@@biggieche3se
This will also not work if the computer can’t boot to USB.
For example, my school computers can only boot onto network boot media and the Local Disk.
My school's computers have restrictions on the USB devices you can use. If you plug in a peripheral, it works. If you plug in a removeable device, it doesn't.
I worked at a school where you wouldnt be able to get admin access. BIOS Password helps. Even removing the CMOS battery wouldnt help. They had a tool installed that removes every change made to windows and prevents you from installing a new windows unless you use the admin-user password. To prevent people from trying to remove the cover of the pc they added locks to the cover. You wouldnt even be able to get to the CMOS battery even if you tried to (at least not without the teacher noticing what you do) xD
haha thats interesting to know!
you couldve sitll do it by forcing windows to use your iso...
Schools in south west UK predominantly use chromebooks and google workspace locked down to the point you cant do anything but the school work you are assigned. The web filtering these days is also impecible, and students even get filtered internet while doing homework on their chromebooks at home. Only people with access to windows machines are teachers, and these are predominently RM machines which id love to see you try booting from USB on!
For a school computer, is this able to be reversed to turn off admin whenever you may need to, or is it no going back, id assume there is a revert though.
Edit: also is this safe for a school computer, not sure whether they’d genuinely give a shit or not. Or does it re-enroll itSelf like chromebooks when reset
Yep you can easily undo the actions :)
Damn that was a fast response 😅
@@og-michael7285 lol yeah I was on my phone when I got the notification
Also to answer your edit, it is safe, every IT team is different. Assuming you’re US, idk how your schools IT are like. It’s probably shit lmao. As long as you aren’t breaking the network I’m sure it’ll be fine.
It won’t re-enroll as we aren’t unenrolling it :)
@@JayTechTips thank you.
What windows installation media will do to help to get administrative rights on my computer running Linux from SED SSD?
Will it crack password to key (stored on SSD itself and unrecoverable)
Will it crack password to key of LUKS partition?
Well you said "ANY"
Our high school computers have a dual boot with Linux and windows, I managed to reset the Linux admin password and just use that to play games in class.
this is exactly what I need but im afraid im too stupid. I dont even know how to check for bitlocker, or to even know what windows my school is running on. although i can go into settings and go intp cmd prompt, which some people cant go into
i advise you dive down the rabbit hole of linux hacking, you can shut down the entire school wifi
I'm totally doing this on my school pc
@@stolas_ars_goetia. ofc not jit
i have now local admin in VM but
if i try to do it on normal
when entering cmd in the first steps it doesnt show my acconut
This only works if the computer doesn't have a bios password AND if bitlocker is disabled or you know the bitlocker password.
In other words, this will not work on any computer that is following modern security practices.
