How to login to Windows without entering the password

[devesh]

hello friends. is it actually possible that we directly get onto the windows desktop without actually entering the password(even if that is required i.e.
password must be entered before loging in).
this seems to be tough to be known to someone,but if u know thats secret
please do tell me.
and i must tell you that it is possible as one of the guy in my college did that
but he do't want to tell.so please find the solution..

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot login unless you know the password. This is true at least for a networked machine, where the system can be locked. Your friend either has administrator rights on your computer or he simply knows your password.

Devesh, pwDump is a utility that grabs windows passwords from a remote machine. But I think you need admin login in order to have this utility running on target machine. Once done, you can have the passwords delivered on your machine hassle free.
