Lock computer (Ctrl+Alt+Del),can be accessed by other than admin

[zillah]

Friend of mine has got two computers (Laptop and Desktop) connected to each other via cross over cable (networked), both computers have got OS win2003 SP2. Normally he accesses both computer via administrator accounts

When he does not use them , he locks them by pressing (Ctrl+Alt+Del), some times he found his son accessed his laptop, he told me that he did not tell his son about the password for the username administrator.

There is no other accounts were created beside administrator account under “Local Users and Groups”.

I have checked by myself the “Add or Remove Programs”, I could not find suspicious program.

Is there away to access a locked PC without knowing the password

i suspect the person in question didnt lock their machine at the time or hasnt required that a password be entered to log on and his son has rebooted the PC and got in that way.

I can confirm that he locked his both PC, because I was with him when he had done it.

of asking his son what he did ?

He did, but he did not tell him the truth

It is possible to do some funky stuff if you have prior access to change stuff.

Thanks MrLOL.

Some time his dad let his son use the computer when the computer is unlocked. Can the son find out the password for the administrator in some how ?
