Unauthorized access in windows

We are much familiar with windows operating system, there are lot of vulnerability’s in Microsoft’s windows operating system. I am discussing here one from them might be you are all unaware of this. In our college defreeze software is installed to prevent from attacks by virus or unauthorized access. But this weakness of operating system does not protected by defreeze completely, because it restore data after operating system.
Windows service pack 2 allows normal user such as “student” in our college(which restricted for complete use) to create an new account as administrator, but we have to create account in some different way stated in following stapes:
  • Right Click on my computer icon and go to manage, look at left side panel there is option “Local Users and Groups”. As shown in fig1.

  • Log off from current account (don’t restart defreeze will delete last created account) and loin through last new created account. It will ask for changing password, proceed.
  • Now you have complete administrator authority you can do anything. When system is restarted account is deleted by defreeze.
