This video will show you how to make a hidden Windows XP User account. Please note that this video requires editing the Windows Registry, so follow the steps in the video exactly.
@Mat – It does work on Vista, but in the registry, you have to create the last two folders (SpecialAccounts and Userlist), because they do not exist by default in Vista. Once you have those created, it should be the same process.
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Create A Hidden XP Account, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
To access the hidden account you could go to the control panel and change the logging in and out settings for user accounts so you have to type in your name and password.
my sis has basically shut me out of her computer…she changed the password to her acc…deleted the guest acc…and made the default admin have a pass…i was wonderin if there was neway to find out the password from a limited acc… i cant do nething from this acc not even change the time lol…youve pulled through in the past with your other vids…plz help me…i voted go tinkernut!!!!W000T
Nathan, i dont know how it works exactly, but you can go watch the “Recover lost windows password” video he made, OR you can do it by commando prompt, i think it was something like “net user [USERNAME] [PASSWORD]” but i aint really sure, and my accounts broke because of my keyset, so i dont recommend you to do that. Though its possible, and with the experience to browse the internet, you will find lots of stuff for it.
You can’t change the time, since it would change it to everyone else using the computer which means there would be no purpose of letting a limited user do it.
Thanks Tinkernut, sounds interesting!
Nathan, Google is your friend, and so is Wikipedia.
Sorry for multiple posts, forgive me!
Here is the syntax:
NET USER
[username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]
username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]
username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]

Very nice. Assuming that it does not work on vista, i would like to see that if you have the time.

Hi! The post is really interesting! I’ve read your blog and can say it’s a good job.
you have to press log off not switch users

Does this work on XP Home Edition?
@CRYSISBESTGAME – AS FAR AS I KNOW IT WORKS WITH ALL VERSIONS OF XP, AS THEY HAVE SIMILAR REGISTRY ENTRIES.
