Hacking Comps

Idk how you guys here are, but if any of you are interested in hacking and programming, then I think I’m in the right place. Since this tread can be about anything, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to access bios on a windows 2000 computer.

If you want to know why then here is my explanation;
I found this old laptop that my father used to own a while ago, there are a lot of viruses on it so I was attempting to get rid of them. In the process, I accidently deleted my username, giving me the inability to access the computer at all. Admin was deleted and Guest was disabled. I was just going to hack it using a disk I had and in order to do so, I had to change the boot sequence to boot with the CD drive. I couldn’t find it so I wanted to try it in the bios. Issue being is I can't figure out how to access the bios on this old computer.

Thanks!^_^
 
Re: Hacking Comps

if i were you i would just reinstall windows. correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure that it would
A) whipe your computer
B) let you create a new username

if you don't have the install disc, a windows 2000 should be relatively cheap wherever you go.
 
Re: Hacking Comps

I wish I could help you. What kind of messages are coming up when you turn it on? Usually you can just click a button to enter the BIOS when the computer is doing it's POST check... (I only have half an idea of what I just said there).

It is, but that's not what we're talking about now, is it?

He's tryoing to do that, but to do that he has to make it boot from CD, which he can't do from his desktop because he deleted the profile. So he's trying to do it from the BIOS, but he doesn't know how to get in.

The only reason you'd need to truly hack anything is if there is a BIOS password. Otherwise, just put the setup disk in, it will be read as a boot disk and you won't need to touch the BIOS. However, if there is a BIOS password, I will not assist you in getting around it. Do what you're supposed to do and ask your father.
I understand that. Sorry for not making this clear, but I can't figure out how to make it read as a boot disk. It is a boot disk but the comp isn’t reading it as one. It’s not that I'm trying to get around a password, as a matter of fact, there is no password. I am trying to access my computer without a username and password. With the disk I am using I shouldn't have to worry about usernames and passwords. For some odd reason the disk isn’t being read as a boot disk so i was going to try to boot it from the disk drive using bios. My question is just how to access bios.

I think it was arseface that said he could help me. Well, I have a windows 2000 computer and whenever I start it up, first the starting up windows bar goes up, then the option to start windows a different way (like safe mode, enable boot logging, debugging mode, ect) and then the login screen. The disk I have should be able to get me on because it runs as a boot disk but it is not automatically reading it.
