A step-by-step tutorial on how to recover files locked in a user's account that has been made private. With this method you can either spy on someone else's account or recover your own if lost to some malfunction. This will also work if you have a fresh install of Windows XP on another drive and still have your previous user account intact, but locked.

  • Brilliant

    My brother's computer wouldnt boot into windows xp and he protected his user directory. All of his school work was there and it looked like there was no way of accessing the user directory. This video gave me what i needed to ACCESS THE PROTECTED CONTENT. It truly works and I was able to copy all of his files out of the user directory into a common one, reboot, then access all the content in the common directory. You sir, rule...

    • Ah

      Go into Command Prompt and type "at /delete" to clear the schedule. You entered a schedule time that was actually 23 or so hours ahead of you accidently lol.

      You can also do "at help" to see what the "at" command can do.

      How detectable / traceable is this on a networked comp? I used it today to go online under the system user name. If it is detectable / traceable, is there any way to erase the history and or make it less detectable?

    • Detectable?

      It's virtually undetectable history-wise, unless your work has access monitoring and logs the name of the user on the network. Like as not though they simply log the connections to and from your computer.
      On your computer though, there's no history of what you've done as far as the system login goes, unless you put a job with a schedule time 23 hours ahead of yourself lol. Internet history will still need to be cleared, I believe the System history goes in under your history- check it to make sure.

  • Nada...

    I've restarted, changed the path, restored the comp before I did this whole procedure, tried changing the time to 5 minutes ahead of time- Nothing seems to be working.

  • Success once..

    I successfully completed the first command on DOS, logged into the system user name and logged out. Tried it a second time, but it won't let me open another command program... Any advice?

    • DOS Prompt Solution

      Restart the computer and see if you can open the CMD program. It could be that the command.exe is still active in memory and it won't let you open another instance.

    • Which command?

      The "At Time /interactive" one requires admin access. Unfortunately, users cannot rebel against their admins with this trick, unless the admin is a dork and has enabled the user to have access to the functions.

  • Video Quality

    Sorry about that. The conversion process must have eaten some of the quality, I used to be able to read the filenames. I will try to upload another one and see if Meta will replace this one.
