What is WRONG?

 

A friend of mine had, while trying to learn computer hardware, had entered cmd from windows 7 and thereafter entered as under cmd +  and some password and then entered. Due to this, he lost his access to the computer because it simply keeps asking for password.

He could not explain to me the correct thing he entered but some thing like  "cmd+...".   How to come out of it?

Thanks to all who try to understand my problem and try to solve it.

Have you tried pressing Ctrl+C?

Sounds like he added a password to the account?

Was it net user [something]

Have you tried pressing Ctrl+C?

Thank you, Mr. Transfusion. I shall ask him (who is at some distance) to check pressing Ctrl+C

Yes, Mr. Linux711 - It was net user and he entered a command like this    C:\net user + (i.e. after he entered a plus sign, he inadvertantly pressed the enter button).

...a rather ingenious "help me crack a password" type thread? It's always a "friend" or "the kids"...

Salmon, are you clairvoyant?

 

he entered a command like this    C:\net user + (i.e. after he entered a plus sign, he inadvertantly pressed the enter button).

This would just cause an error.

Not sure what you're getting at here...

Burn to CD, change boot order, get in.

If you need help with booting a CD, google has plenty of info.

re above password resetter disk:

From a review...

This is a fantastic tool for gaining legitimate access to systems. It can also be used for illegitimate access.

I don't believe that link should be there. We have rules about password cracking help.

This would just cause an error.

well the alleged command was net user +, but that still causes an error anyway:

Code: [Select]

C:\>net user +
The syntax of this command is:

NET USER
[username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]
         username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]
         username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]
         username [/TIMES:{times | ALL}]

And makes no changes to passwords or otherwise.
The OP is providing too many falsifiable confabulations for me to honestly believe they are being truthful in the problem or what they are trying to "fix".

My thanks to all participants for their kind advice/ guidance given on the above subject.  Unfortunately, the computer is down. I shall try the suggestion(s) when the same is repaired.

Meanwhile, let me thank you all once again.

Yes, I had to dictionary.com you because you used too many big words hurt my small brain ow....

Wouldn't it be easier to say I don't believe that's the real problem? That won't hurt my head as much either...

You ain't seen nothin yet.....

Wouldn't it be easier to say I don't believe that's the real problem? That won't hurt my head as much either...
 

No, because I would have to make a conscious effort to use small words. I like to use various words that I learn as often as possible to increase my vocabulary. Also, it prevents me from saying the same thing- I don't like to repeat myself.

That is to say, I don't like to repeat myself.

And either way whether what I type hurts your head either literally or figuratively isn't something that I am apt to consider.
