Mocht4R Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hey guys, long time no post. I got this software a long time ago to put a password and disable some stuff on my computer. I forgot the password. I went on there site and tried do download a password reset software, but thats 10$. Why should i pay them 10$ when i already paid for the stupid software? I tried uninstalling but that needs a password as well! What can i do???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 ...........Try really hard to remember the password.Disable stuff on your PC by researching the tweaks for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocht4R Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 What do you mean by disable your stuff on your pc. I don't want to do that, i want to recover my password in some way, or uninstall this software. But i told you already i need the password to do everything. Any ideas?

DigeratiPrime Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) [EDIT] Give me 5 minutes brb.OK I did a little test.I unpacked the exe using sandboxie, i logged what files were installed and where.Then I installed pcsecurity on my pc and locked a folder with a file i copied into it.I made sure pcsecurity was locking the folder, it did, and then i tried to kill the program, which you will see is very easy to do!I noticed the pcsecurity program added a service called 'winser'.I also noticed with AutoRuns that it added two files to system startup.I sucessfully disabled the program from starting up in 1 minute.Reboot into safemode. In safemode the winser service is not running so i could already access my 'locked' folder and file. Go into the Windows directory and rename sdaemon.exe to sdaemon.bak and winwd.exe to winwd.bak. Then go a little deeper into system32 and rename winsersec.exe to winsersec.bak.Reboot normally, pcsecurity is now disabled. Now i want to point out i only locked a folder, I dont know what you have done with the program.Also i want to say this program is a joke Edited January 23, 2006 by DigeratiPrime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Digerati....brilliant!!! That is always my plan of attack when something screwy happens. And yeah what kind of a prog is it if it can be disabled like that?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocht4R Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Wow. Thank you so much. I will give all the things you said a try but i may have some questions. Thanks again for your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocht4R Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Right now i am laughing. I went to my start up and disabled the programs that are associated with pcsecurity, and restart my computer. I then go to the uninstall and voila, perfectly uninstalled. That is pathetic. I am glad i am through with this nonsense! Thanks you so much digerati, greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptMurphy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 So bms, what's the software name? So I can avoid it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 the name of the software is just that 'PC Security' i admit i didnt know what he was talking about at first either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peru Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 actually u dont need to do like that.... i have an another idea... simply lock your "C" drive with PC security ... the program will be disabled automatically ... because the program and ur OS installed in "C" drive.. if u try lock that drive it wont be work.. so u can open the locked files... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
