Description: In this episode of TekTip we take a break from Malware Analysis and play with an old sys admin trick commonly known as the Sticky Keys trick. I cannot tell you how many times I have used this to log into lockedout machines from family, friends, co-workers, and clients. This will work on XP, server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, and probably the rest of them as well. A quick summarry of the steps involved are:
-Boot to a live linux distro (BT5 will work fine)
-Mount the windows drive
-Replace sethc.exe with cmd.exe
-Reboot to Windows
-Press shift 5 times to bring up command prompt.
-Command prompt aquired, mission accomplished.

then it tried to create a new user
C:/> netuser user1 12345 /add
"The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2331 in the message file for Application"
MANY OF THE COMMANDS ARE NOT GIVING ERROR IF GO BY THIS WAY .. I DINT GET ANY ANSWER ON GOOGLE
HOW TO FIX IT SUGGEST ME
Venky, you forgot a space between net and user. the command should read:
net user user1 12345 /add
