i need to hack an administrators account on a MAC OS X. i have been looking around everywhere for a while now. i know there IS some way to do it without aquiring the persons password, and i need to find that way. EVERYTHING has its way. im on a security enabled acconun due to unfortunate circumstances so everytime i try and remove the "parental controls" (this is why i hav to hack the admin account) im am asked for the password.

im guessing that the answer will bo found on some underground hackers site. thanks for the help
 
could i ask y u have to hack that?
and u don't really have to tell us the real answer, just make some cool story up and i'm game.
 
technically, if youre in leopard, you can restart with the installation dvd and in the menu "actions" if i remember right (before actually installing leopard) you can overwrite the password, but then you'd need to find a new one and wouldnt be able to know what it actually was.
Thats the only way i know of fucking around with unknown passwords with leopard. But i'm no hacker. good luck
 
find out what the recovery question is. when this was implemented on me back in middle school the question was what was your high school mascot? so i casually bring up mascots then ask my dad what his was and of course hes not thinking about computers so he tells me and voila. no hacking or anything
 
why are you on a limited account? if your parent is on their administrative account just tell them their car is on fire or get them to leave somehow and figure out the password from their account.
 
operating system specs? 10.3, 10.4, 10.5?

If 10.3, then you can crack the hash, but it requires some knowledge. I haven't tried cracking a 10.4 or 10.5 password hash mainly due to my laziness..

Can you change the admin password? Or do you want to keep it the same?

An option is to create a hidden admin account. So you can modify your account settings through this hidden admin account.

I had a terminal script a couple years back that accomplished this, but I don't even know if I still have it.. and even if I do, I don't know if it will work past 10.3. I'll have to look through my desktop to see if its still around.

I'll see what I can find, if your running 10.4 or higher you're probably going to have to use single user mode and hope that single user mode modifications aren't blocked..

Man, why can't this be the good ole' days of os x 10.1. Where you could just ~sudo access anything.. [lol nerd joke]

Anyways, I'll check around for a solution once you let me know what you're running and if you can change the password.
