Kon-Boot for Windows & MacOSX Yosemite v2.4.0

#KON BOOT FOR WINDOWS & MACOSX YOSEMITE V2.4.0 UPDATE#

It worked consistently fine, however, on Vista and Windows XP. On Windows 7 Ultimate, it simply wasn't able to remove the password, and crashed a freshly installed Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have tried the tool on a couple of Windows 7 machines and it failed several times. However, I can't really recommend this tool. I think, this would be the perfect password remove tool for all those desperate computer laymen who want to access their computer as quickly as possible without bothering their heads with terms such as system drive or SAM database. If you reboot again without using Kon-Boot you need the old passwords. Thus the tool doesn't change the SAM database.

Update (see comment below): Kon-Boot changes the contents of the Windows kernel on the fly while booting allowing you to log on without password.

Kon-Boot just reboots Windows and sets an empty password for all accounts it finds, enabling you to log on to any of the local accounts without a password.

You don't receive a message that informs you whether the mission has been accomplished. The last part is very quick and only takes a fraction of the time that the tool needs to display its hello-world screens. You have to wait here until the ego screen finishes its display, and then Kon-Boot will finally do what it is supposed to do. Somehow this destroys the beauty of this tool because it would certainly be even cooler to hack Windows without touching a key.ДЄfter you press a key, a second 'I-am-so-proud-to-be-hacker-screen' appears. At this point, you have to press a key for Kon-Boot to continue. Shortly after the CD drive starts spinning, you will see the Kon-Boot welcome screen.
