Bypassing Computer Keylocks

You've probably at one time or another wanted to snoop in a computer and
|
||
|
|
were defeated by the message:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keyboard Locked
|
||
|
|
Press<F1> to reboot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or something to that extent. A Keylock lulls the person in to a false sense
|
||
|
|
of security(That may even be their only security measure.) This is one of the
|
||
|
|
most foolish ways of keeping a computer secure for two very simple reasons:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The keys made for these locks are almost always the same
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
The Keylock can easily be disabled
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first method is simple get the key that was given to you (or your parents)
|
||
|
|
when you got the computer. It should look llike a key for a Kryptonie lock or
|
||
|
|
soda machine, maybe a little smaller or flimsier. Then go to the computer
|
||
|
|
and try the key out.
|
||
|
|
The second method is more difficult and more detecable but it will work.
|
||
|
|
Bring a screwdriver (phillips) along and unlossen all the screws on the case
|
||
|
|
and open the computer up. Sometimes you will be able to do it just by sliding
|
||
|
|
the case open a little, all the way off. Look for a bank of large things that
|
||
|
|
look like jumpers on the motherboard, the hard drive light, etc. should be
|
||
|
|
pluged in here. That should help you find it. Look for one that says KEY,
|
||
|
|
LOCK, KEYLOCK, etc. Just pull out the plug on thin too. It's just a little
|
||
|
|
more difficult and it's easier to get caught that way.
