Re: HDD Password.

If rainbow tables are required please contact me, I have lanman, md5, and
sql, soon sha1 ;p)
I don't think rainbow tables will be of any use though, seeing you need the
hash.

I've attached a file that might help.

Side note: If anyone need password recovery, not reset for any of the above
hashes, feel free to contact me. There has been no windows local lanman
password yet to survive alpha-numeric 14 symbol ;p) First few if any will
be free...

God I love the security business.

How to Bypass BIOS Passwords

BIOS passwords can be add extra layer of security for desktop and laptop
computers, and are used to either prevent a user from changing the BIOS
settings or to prevent the PC from booting without a password. BIOS
passwordscan also be a liability if a user forgot their passwords, or if a
malicious user changes the password. Sending the unit back to the
manufacturer to have the BIOS reset can be expensive and is usually not
covered in an a typical warranty. However, there are a few known backdoors
and other tricks of the trade that can be used to bypass or reset the BIOS
password on most systems. Backdoor Passwords

Many BIOS manufacturers have provided backdoor passwords that can be used to
access the BIOS setup in the event you have lost your password. These
passwords are case sensitive, so you may wish to try a variety of
combinations.

WARNING: Some BIOS configurations will lock you out of the system completely
if you type in an incorrect password more than 3 times. Read your
manufacturers documentation for the BIOS setting before you begin typing in
passwords. Award BIOS backdoor passwords: ALFAROME BIOSTAR KDD ZAAADA ALLy

Most Toshiba laptops and some desktop systems will bypass the BIOS password

Press both mouse buttons repeatedly during the boot Using the Motherboard
"Clear CMOS" Jumper or Dipswitch settings

Many motherboards feature a set of jumpers or dipswitches that will clear
theCMOS and wipe all of the custom settings including BIOS passwords. The
locations of these jumpers / dipswitches will vary depending on the
motherboard manufacturer and ideally you should always refer to the
motherboard or computer manufacturers documentation. If the documentation is
unavailable, the jumpers/dipswitches can sometimes be found along the edge
ofthe motherboard, next to the CMOS battery, or near the processor. Some
manufacturers may label the jumper / dipswitch CLEAR - CLEAR CMOS - CLR -
CLRPWD - PASSWD - PASSWORD - PWD. On laptop computers, the dipswitches are
usually found under the keyboard or within a compartment at the bottom of
thelaptop.

Please remember to unplug your PC and use a grounding strip before reaching
into your PC and touching the motherboard. Once you locate and rest the
jumper switches, turn the computer on and check if the password has been
cleared. If it has, turn the computer off and return the jumpers or
dipswitches to its original position. Removing the CMOS Battery

The CMOS settings on most systems are buffered by a small battery that is
attached to the motherboard. (It looks like a small watch battery). If you
unplug the PC and remove the battery for 10-15 minutes, the CMOS may reset
itself and the password should be blank. (Along with any other machine
specific settings, so be sure you are familiar with manually reconfiguring
the BIOS settings before you do this.) Some manufacturers backup the power
tothe CMOS chipset by using a capacitor, so if your first attempt fails,
leave the battery out (with the system unplugged) for at least 24 hours.
Somebatteries are actually soldered onto the motherboard making this task
more difficult. Unsoldering the battery incorrectly may damage your
motherboard and other components, so please don't attempt this if you are
inexperienced. Another option may be to remove the CMOS chip from the
motherboard for a period of time.

Note: Removing the battery to reset the CMOS will not work for all PC's, and
almost all of the newer laptops store their BIOS passwords in a manner which
does not require continuous power, so removing the CMOS battery may not work
at all. IBM Thinkpad laptops lock the hard drive as well as the BIOS when
thesupervisor password is set. If you reset the BIOS password, but cannot
reset the hard drive password, you may not be able to access the drive and
itwill remain locked, even if you place it in a new laptop. IBM Thinkpads
have special jumper switches on the motherboard, and these should be used to
reset the system.
