  2. Step 2 Open Notepad and press "save as".
    Select all files from the drop down menu. Name the file: "Something.bat".

    Is method one possible for Windows 10?

    Yes, it is possible, but you have to do it on the start screen.
  • Question

    Using this method, your files should be safe. The first method just gets a command prompt with admin privileges; nothing else is touched. The second method changes a file on the hard disk. Normally, you will want to restore that for normal login screen functionality, so the seth.exe file should be copied to a backup.

    It is possible, but not recommended because it is illegal.

      Warnings

      • Don't be an idiot and mess up someone else's computer. Only do anything like this if you need access to the root of Windows. It was written for learning only. Also, don't try anything unless you know something about DOS.
      • It is not recommended to attempt this at school or at a library. The consequences could be negative for your convenience, and legal trouble could also ensue. Again, it is not recommended to attempt this at school or at a library unless you really know what you are doing and how to get out of it.
      • Doing this stuff on a computer other than yours is illegal, so don't do it on someone else, unless you have been given the permission to do so.
      • You could go to jail for doing this without permission.
