what is password hash?
94952
A hash is a non reversible function, if you put a value in this function it will return you a number. It is also collision free, it means no two values will have same hash number.\n\nMost website dont store user password but store password hash instead, for example if the user name is "ali" and password is "moonlessnight" then the password will not actually be stored but their hases are stored. Next time the user will login and provide password, the password will again converted to hash value and will be match against the previous hash.\n\nIt is used because it is very difficult for an attacker to reverse back a hash value to an actual password.

Use some password recovery tool that can show you the real password behind the asterisks... for e.g. http://www.lostpassword.com/asterisk.htm or \nhttp://www.smartconverter.com/AsteriskPasswordRecoveryXP-file58.shtml

Actually, there are hundreds of thousands of equally easy to guess passwords, and a hacker will quickly run a program to check them all.  Do not use any of the following for passwords or a hacker will be in your computer quickly.\n\nDO NOT!!!:\n1. Use your account name or any data that appears in your record in the passwd file. \n2. Use any word or name that appears in any dictionary, reference or list regardless of case changes; especially do not use character strings that appear in password cracking tools' word lists or bad password lists. I put a link to one of these below.\n3. Phrases and slang with or without white space.\n4. Use any mythological, legendary, religious or fictional character, object, race, place or event. \n5. Use acronyms.\n6. Use alphabetic, numeric or keyboard sequences; many such sequences are included in cracking tools "word" lists.\n7. Use titles of books, movies, poems, essays, songs, CDs or musical compositions.\n8. Vary the character sequences obtained from any of the foregoing items by any of the following methods: \nPrepend or append symbols, punctuation marks and / or digits to a word. \n9. Use words with some or all the letters reversed. \n10. Use conjugations or plurals of words. \n11. Use words with the vowels deleted. \n12. Replace letters with like looking symbols or digits. \nA -> 4 \na -> 2 \nC -> ( \nE -> [ \nE -> { \ne -> 3 \nG -> @ \nh -> 4 \nI -> 1 \nI -> ! \nI -> | \nl -> 1 \nl -> ! \nl -> | \nO -> 0 \nS -> 5 \nS -> $ \nZ -> 5 \n13. Replace digits with like looking letters or symbols \n0 -> O \n3 -> ] \n3 -> } \n14. Use only the first or the last character in uppercase.\n15. Use only vowels in uppercase.\n16. Use only consonants in uppercase. \n17. Use any personally related information. \n18. Use anything you can imagine being collected into a list. \n19. Use a publicly shown example good password. \n20. Use great vanity license plates.\n21. Transliterate words from other languages. \n22. Repeat any character more than once in a row.\n\nI have added a second link which discusses good and bad passwords in much more depth than you probably want, but here it is just in case.

You actually can't do this! Passwords use a high-level encryption and it will usually take around ten life times to discover it! Now it depends from where?\n- if from windows, you must use a password recovery diskette which will delete all your current passwords and after you log in you can change them (including yours)\n- if on an account you usually have the option I forgot the password. Click on it and you'll have to answer some questions from the information you've send when you first registered, then you'll be given a new password...

Two of the major methods for hacking your password are brute forcing/dictionary attacks, where an attacker will just try every combination until they get your password, or keylogging, where an attacker will trick you into installing a keylogger on your machine to record passwords.\n\nThe first solution would be to use a strong password. Instead of making your password 'himypassword123' make it 'himypassword123himypassword123himypassword123'. Believe me that is going to take MUCH longer to brute force open.\n\nThe second solution could be to use a virtual keyboard. If you open the accessibility screen in control panel you will have the option to use an on-screen keyboard, for which keys will not be recorded.\n\nThe best defence though is to ensure your computer is up to date with the latest updates, anti-virus software and a firewall.

usually password protection is done on the server via .htaccess or php/asp/perl script. i dont think there is another method esp in frontpage

There really isnt a way to easily get a password, just to reset it. That works by using a linux or some such boot software cd. It resets the password to whatever you want.

What kind of password are you trying to crack?\n\nYou will need a different type of a solution for cracking a password on a Microsoft Word file, Winzip ZIP file, *nix login account, Windows XP account, or web site software passwords.\n\nFor example, Rainbow crack will work with lanman and MD5 passwords.

It usually means that you need a password in order to enter.

A hash function or hash algorithm is a function for examining the input data and producing an output of a fixed length, called a hash value. Two different inputs are unlikely to hash to the same hash value.\n\nThe process of computing such a value is known as hashing, and is used in cryptography and error-checking.

* This is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your NT system.\n    * You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.\n    * It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppydisk or CD. The bootdisk includes stuff to access NTFS and FAT/FAT32 partitions and scripts to glue the whole thing together.\n    * Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!\n    * It is also an almost fully functional registry editor!

Hashing is converting an object or data structure into a single integer or number; the integer may or may not be unique for different objects, but identical objects will always generate the same hash number.

If you are a programmer then your compiler usually have commands to give you access to system information.\n\nIf you are trying to find the files that the passwords are stored in, it's futile if you do not have the decrytption code to decrypt the password.  The registry contains passwords put there by many programs for easier referrence, but they are usually encrypted.\n\nIf you forgot your password and need to get back into the computer then you can go to a hack site and grab step by step instructions on how to recovery lost admin passwords.  Windows is different because there are builtin security mechanism and you usually will need some type of utility to access the password from the dos prompt.\n\nIf you are writing a program and the program will have high trust level once installed you can gain system information such as admin/user password info.\n\nIn the search engine, msn, yahoo, google - type "recover admin password" and choose a site with instructions, if you are writing a program use the language in the search string, if you want it from the dos prompt use "from dos prompt" in the search string.\n\nYou have to be clear about your motives when wanting this kind of info as no one wants to help a potential hacker break into someones machine.
