How to gain access to system account the most powerful account in Windows.
There is an account in Microsoft Windows that is more powerful than the Administrator account in Windows Operating Systems. That account is called System account it is similar to the root OR super user in the Linux/Unix world . I will show you how to access this system account in this article.
You can use this facility for removing programs that are causing problems to your system, malware etc.
Introduction
If you look at the task manager (which can be launched by pressing [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL]) you will see some processes that are running with System level privileges. Even the Administrator account is unable to do some of the things a system account can do.
System is the highest account in Windows (like root),You can be a super power user by accessing the system account (even while you are logged in as a restricted user)
Note: Accessing system account may cause serious problems.
Leave this tread and don’t follow the rest of this topic
if you don’t know what you are doing. I am not liable for any problems caused by accessing the system account
Local system differs from an administrator account in that it has
full control of the operating system, similar to root on a Unix
machine. Most system processes are required by the operating
system, and cannot be closed, even by an administrator account;
attempting to close them will result in an error message.
In Windows NT and later systems derived from it (windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows servers 2003 and Windows Vista), there may
or may not be a superuser. By default, there is a superuser named
Administrator, although it is not an exact analogy of the Unix
root superuser account. Administrator does not have all the
privileges of root because some superuser privileges are assigned
to the Local System account in windows NT/XP.
What you gain by accessing System account?
Local privilege escalation is useful on any system that a hacker
may compromise; the system account allows for several other
things that aren’t normally possible (you can reset passwords, resetting administrator passwords is also possible)
You can even login to System and lock administrator account out by
editing group policy or other tools in windows.
How to access System:
Note : Don’t follow the procedure bellow if you don’t know what you
are doing. You may harm your PC. If you follow, Do it on your own risk.
- Check the name of the account you’ve logged into (Click start. You
will see the name of the account you’ve logged in.) - Launch the command prompt. (Start | Run | cmd | [Enter] )
in command prompt, create a schedule to run cmd.exe.
To create a schedule type the following line and hit enter.
at 10:41 /interactive “cmd.exe”
this will create a schedule to run cmd.exe at 10:41.
(Since you are testing, check the time in your system try and add two or three minutes.)Change this time according to your local time
Hint: you can check if the schedule is placed by typing “at“
and hitting enter after the above step. - Wait for the time you set for the schedule.
cmd.exe would be launched at the specified time. - After cmd.exe is launched by the scheduled time, press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [DEL] and launch task manager.
Select “Process” tab, select explorer.exe in the process list and click “End Process” button.
You will receive a confirmation dialogue. Click “Yes” to end the process. - Close task manager by clicking the close (X) button.
Close the first cmd window (be careful to close the first one not the second one.) - Now you have only the second command prompt window and an empty desktop.
In command prompt type the following line and hit “Enter”
cd .. - In command prompt type the following line and hit “Enter”
explorer.exe
If this is the first time you do it, windows creates the necessary
components for you to access System ( Desktop, start menu,
My document)
when it’s finished you will have a new desktop. - Close command prompt window. Click start and check your username.
It’s changed to System.
Now you are a super-power user. Be careful not to harm your PC and delete or modify system files if you don’t know what you are doing.
Am once again saying, don’t attempt accessing system account, unless you are an experienced Windows user.

I’ve been messing around with admin and setting up alot of group policies lately, but there was always a few things i couldnt get to cause it was on System privlages. This is easy and def help. Thanks for the tip.

haha you dont have to be an admin to do it. just so you know, there are ways to get a stable command prompt running even if you have the most restricted account. all you do is open note pad and type “command.com” then save it as “command.bat”. open the batch file which is an unstable command prompt, and type “start cmd.exe” and wahlah! you got yourself command prompt

You can use the PSexec tools found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
When you download it, open a CMD with Admin privilages, navigate to where you put psexec.exe and type “psexec.exe -hsi “cmd.exe” (without quotes). If you type “whoami” in the box that pops up, it will say “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM”

OK. So if you are a limited user like i was then this is for u
first u open notepad and type:

then save it as something.bat
then run it
it should work if not ur out of luck
ok now if ur [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL] doesnt work then do this
at 10:41 /interactive “taskmgr.exeâ€
and if that doesnt eork ur also out of luck
then continue with his instructions about explorer.exe and all that
hopefully that works!

this trick isn’t useless, so much as it fills a very narrow need. for example, we have some “home brewed” executables that run as system services that were eating too much CPU and crashing the whole server. i used this trick to log in as system account and set processor affinity for the exe in question and viola! no more crashes! i’m sure the developers could have done something more sophisticated, but at 3am on sunday with nothing more than administrator access this worked like a charm.

Hello kiddies! If you want to take over yur computer and you are not an administrator, do the following:
1. go to the cmd prompt and type “net user” (without quotes)
2. you will see list of users; determine which one is administrator; it may be listed as xadministrator, administrator, etc. & should be last on list
3. now type at cmd prompt “net user administrator *” (without quotes). you will be prompted for a new password; be careful…when you type the new password, it will not be visible so remember it because you will have to confirm it.
4. exit out of cmd prompt, log off then log back in using the administrator’s username and the new password. you are now the administrator of your computer. have fun!!

Hello grandpa hemlock, stuck in the stone age huh? To simply gain access to the system account use a program called kon-boot. just google it and download the .iso image. use active iso burner to burn it to a cd. reboot the computer and go to the boot menu. boot from your cd drive and let kon-boot do its thing. when you go to log in to the selected profile leave the password field blank and enter. you’re in the account. simple trick for the average computer user who needs access.

Alright, if you are running a limited account, you can NOT use this running it as your account.
Don’t cry yet.
If you know anyone on the computer with administrative privledges, get them in here.
Go to the actual file for command prompt (C:\Windows\system32\)(scroll down until you see cmd or cmd.exe
Right-click cmd (or cmd.exe) and click “Run as”
Alright, here’s where your administrator helps you.
First, uncheck the “Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity”. Then switch to the “Log in as another user” and select the administrator’s account next to you.
Have him log in.
There is the command prompt that is running as his account, and you can use it correctly.

The point is they are trying to access an account with higher than Admin rights.
Then they can modify their limited access account on the sly or at least be able to
goof off on the computer using an account they haven’t got the right to be in.
Hey idiots, when you do get system rights, open cmd prompt and type “format c:”!
And if warhawkmad1 is still trying to change his work computer on the sly,
you deserve to be fired.
Especially in an economy as lousy as this one.
If you have a legitimate reason to change the computer the Admin will do it for you.

Lol unfortunately if you’re running anything higher than xp that trick doesn’t work anymore. But for those of you running XP or older, open a notepad, type “del system32″ without the quotations save it as command.bat and run it. And you have your access to system folder. Easy as that.

Louie, I don’t mean to offend. I think it’s possible that you can get to the Command Prompt by simply creating a shortcut to “cmd.” Don’t let anyone see you though! ☺ And don’t crash the computer either. As a experienced technician, I recommend that you shouldn’t use CMD in an open-session class, since CMD is easy to distinguish from other programs.
[_Infantry_]
December 16, 2009 at 6:21 AM
[_Infantry_]
Of course, it’s possible to get to cmd easily. Even without the use of shortcuts. In any case cmd.exe already resides in programs\accessories. You being an experienced technician I would have thought that you would know Group Policy disables cmd by telling it to refuse access when cmd checks for permissions. Command prompt window should open with a “your administrator has disabled command prompt…” text in place of the usual credits. Of course its possible to bypass this with gpdisable.exe, as you, an experienced technician should know.

@Hatch
Clearly your school’s entire IT department should be fired. Even if Microsoft Word was somehow programmed to trigger up an interactive version of command prompt (not an unusable one) the OS will just give you an error message telling you that the command prompt has been disabled. Of course they won’t if Word tells command prompt exactly what to do and nothing more.
Louie
January 28, 2010 at 1:04 PM
There simply exists no good reason to block command prompt – it’s just more efficient tool for many tasks (a proper shell like 4NT – 4DOS for Win9x – from JpSoftware, let alone Cygwin installations bash would be for most, not just many tasks, but default CMD.EXE has evolved poorly from COMMAND.COM of DOS), but it won’t let you run anything you can’t run other ways anyway.
What you (admin) should disable for non-privileged accounts instead is harmful executables (also disabling Task Manager is plain silly unless Winblows lets users actually kill other than users own processes) – besides CMD.EXE is actually needed on many systems (depending on what kind of work & with what tools the end users needs to work with), so as general advice disabling CMD is actually on a whole different level of dumb ideas than just unnecessary creating nuisance to users who actually know how to do things efficiently – and a standalone version of 4NT.EXE, Win32 bash port or such program from USB disk (or any other source) will still give the user the same kind (only of better quality) of access as CMD, which is not itself a harmful executable.
Clearly you cannot be a sysadmin, and if you work in such job you should be replaced.

Papy
May 18, 2010 at 6:31 PM
Which is just another example of how much MS knows about making system secure: ‘at’ is yet another flawed version of Unix command of same name and idea which has existed forever without security issues – and makes no difference between running commands interactively or not.
This so called “security fix” however is nothing compared to the unbelievable ‘at’ “feature” of critical nature on pre-SP2 patched XP which actually ran any commands of any user under SYSTEM – I have learned to expect this level of quality from M$, but on proper systems no code from anyone who does not understand such basic principle that no regular command should ever run other commands under other account/privileges than that of account it’s ran under, unless on purpose created for elevating or changing account/privileges.
‘at’, which is half-assedly copied from Unix, was not designed to run commands under other account than that executing it – and no other company than MS could screw that up.

with psexec you can start an explorer session as system. You would need admin permissions to start with:

use task manager to kill your current explorer

Yea this works for XP not 7 or Vista. You could try set it with the schtasks command in the CMD.exe prompt.

Noob you have made that for XP (and below) Only!
Luckily Im not an Idiot And can do this with my own Programs (Due to Security Enhancements this task will run at the time specified but not interactively)

Some of u dont get that this cant be done in a limited account
when i see sites like this my hopes go up so high but like every time it never works on the school laptops it access is denied or system 5 error
ive started to give up hope on ever getting administrator or higher access on these school computers

ONLY way to get admin access is if you now admins password.
Just download simple password recovery boot disc from http://www.ophcrack.sourceforge.net
Download link for xp:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ophcrack/files/ophcrack-livecd/2.3.1/ophcrack-xp-livecd-2.3.1.iso/download
Download link for Vista:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ophcrack/files/ophcrack-livecd/2.3.1/ophcrack-vista-livecd-2.3.1.iso/download
You just put it in computer and program will find you password and its hash of all accounts in local computer.

Back up data files containing account passwords (I don’t know where they are stored, but people like one who created following tool do…), use “NT Password & Registry Editor” to reset local administrator account password (it is Linux based system you boot from CD just to reset password (or, providing you want to, change password & edit registry, though it warns that it may mess things up), login as administrator, have phun, restore backed up data.

What other ways are there to access the system account? It is possible that scheduler is disabled through policy and the AT command is useless.

This is soo old-fashioned!
put this text into a *.vbs-file and just double-click on it and voila – you will have a DOS-box with system-privileges:
‘***** start of text *****
set objWMI = GetObject(“winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2″)
set objService = objWMI.Get(“Win32_Service”)
result = objService.Create(“cmdsvc”,”Command Service”,”cmd /K start “”Local System”"”,16,2,”Manual”,true,”.\LocalSystem”,”")
Set colListOfServices = objWMI.ExecQuery(“Select * from Win32_Service Where Name=’cmdsvc’”)
For Each objService in colListOfServices
objService.StartService()
objService.StopService()
objService.Delete()
Next
‘***** end of text *****

>Facepalm< Sooo script kiddies who realize this doesn't always work…
1) Boot into Linux ISO (Figure it out yourself. It's dead simple.)
2) Mount & access the target hard drive.
3) Rename C:\Windows\System32\sethc.exe to sethc.exe.old
4) Copy & rename the copy of cmd.exe (in the same folder) to sethc.exe
5) Boot up computer in windows. At login, hit shift five times. Bam, admin command prompt.
This replaces cmd.exe (Command prompt) For the stickykeys command. So, at login (An admin service), you run command prompt.
Bai all.

Is there a way I can use this to change permissions on files? I have tried Windows Explorer, plus other similar programs, and Windows wont let me access the properties of any file or folder while I am logged in as system. Something screwed up, and I really need to be able to access file properties as system. I can do anything else as System, but any explorer program will just “hang”, if you try and right click any file or folder, while logged on as explorer

forget about windows 7. due to increased security, it doesn’t allow the /interactive command to be run. to run cmd(command prompt) as admin mode, right click cmd and click run as administrator. if promped (uac user account control, click yes.)

July 5, 2012 at 11:44 PM
there is a full admin account (override user account in windows 7). when you set up windows 7, you are marked as limited admin. when you make an admin account, it is also a limited admin account. There is still a Hidden Administrator account which has the complete access to any files/ folder/ system files where as your account does not. This is the reason, one always see a message pop up on screen, prompted for UAC rights to elevate. to unlock full admin in windows 7, do this:
1) Click Start.
2) In the Search field, type CMD.
3) On the list of available programs, right click the Command Prompt icon and click Run as Administrator.
4) In the black window, type: net user administrator /active:yes
5) Press Enter.
NOTES: The system should return you with the following message: The command completed successfully.
6) Now, exit the Command Prompt and click the Start icon.
7) Log off from the current account and in the Account window you should now see the Administrator account.
8) Done!
NOTES: If you want to turn off the Admin account, type: net users administrator /active:no
BE SURE TO SET A PASSWORD IF YOU SHARE THE COMPUTER!!!
