NVM he had hints on. But I would still like to know this

Unless you're the administrator, you can't get this information.

No hacks or shady software?

[Xoax]

Algorithms maybe.

This doesn't apply to you, but in like windows 95 or 98 there was a universal password that could get you into any account.

Or you could just make a whole new account...
One of the computers at our schools had windows 98. It shut down on me (power outage), and it asked me for a username and password. I just typed in "miga" and some password, and it made a whole new account right there.

But, for Block Builder, you can't get any account info unless you're an Administrator/you have Administrator priviledges.

I actually knew a couple of ways through the command prompt, but they didn't always work and required a second account on that computer. YouTube always has the answers people need.

If you can replace Sticky Keys, sethc.exe, with Command Prompt, cmd.exe, and access it without being logged in, then you can use "Net User (Whatever the username is) *" and it will ask for a new password. You can't obtain his password this way, but this will allow you to log into the account. This really won't help if you're trying to be secret about it.

I wouldn't try anything if I didn't know what I was doing though.

Also, if you know anything about keyloggers, you could make/get one and install it when he goes on a bathroom break. Then have it email you the code to your email and check it on another computer.

A Google search seems to imply that you can reset the passwords on the account by altering the BIOS of the motherboard using a linux distribution whilst booting from a CD. Looks like it will only work in certain cases.

There are easier methods, like getting a U3 compatible flash drive and installing certain software packages which run automatically to collect data, passwords, emails, etc from the computer it is plugged into.

Generally though, I'd advise against it. Your brother deserves to have some privacy, all methods are illegal and I doubt you have a legitimate reason for breaking into his computer.

In a world ruled by "An eye for an eye" we'd all be blind.

Sammy was a skin living in a danger zone
people were fighting with him everyday
his number one defense was throwing his knuckles up
and showing the world the price they had to pay

An eye for an eye, and everything in between
an eye for an eye, and we’ll pay the prince
an eye for an eye, you defied your maker
an eye for an eye and we’ll all be blind

one fine day he was told of the one true life
that he was called to something more than just another fight
so throw down your dukes Sammy tell them what you know
that if you fight then you will die and reap what you’ve sown

Hang him from a tree and burn his house down
if that’s the way you want it then we’ll be in the ground
