T 5.60 By-passing system guidelines<br />

If local access to a non-networked PC under Windows 95 exists, it is possible<br />

to delete the password file (name.PWL) belonging to a particular user ID.<br />

Access with this user ID is then possible without knowing the user password.<br />

This is critical if a non-networked Windows 95 computer is restricted for<br />

certain users, but an administrator ID (for example ADMIN) exists which<br />

possesses all privileges. By deleting ADMIN.PWL a restricted, but nonetheless<br />

authorised, user can thus log on as an administrator. <strong>The</strong> restrictions or<br />

guidelines set for the user are then by-passed.<br />
