The virus asks for money to unlock the computer - what to do? Windows locked! Instructions on what to do if this happened to you Computer lock virus
This will be a great article on how to unlock your computer. In this article there will be three options, one of which will definitely help you unlock windows. 1 option
The easiest way to cure your computer when it is infected with a "banner virus" is to take the following steps to restore the system to a working state, we will do this:
- Reboot the computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt
- At the command prompt, enter the command
- When you start the windows recovery window, select the date on which we want to restore our Windows, click next and wait for a while until it restarts the computer and restores it for the period you have chosen (it is better to choose the recovery date no more than a week ago from the incident)
- But this method, as the simplest and most effective, has its drawbacks, for example, if you didn’t have “ System Restore» , then when you enter the command c:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\rstrui You will get an error:
System Restore is disabled and cannot be started in safe mode. To restore the system, restart your computer in normal mode and run System Restore."
Unfortunately this method is not for you. But it's not the end of the world, because we're moving on to Option 2
Option 2 
This morning they brought a laptop on which, when loading, a window immediately appeared stating that windows was blocked. This trojan winlock not the same as it used to be. in which you had to enter the code (you could get it on the sites of kaspersky and drweb). But we will not go into theory, but will immediately move on to practice, i.e. to remove this crap.
- initially we have winlock which blocked the computer with the following text:
Our next steps are:
- restart your computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt
- as the computer boots up and you will see the command line enter regedit and you start the registry editor
- In the registry we are looking for an item HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- and in it we look for the Shell line and check that we had only one entry there Explorer.exe(i.e. we delete everything that Explorer.exe is there !!!)
- Next, we reboot the computer and enjoy the loaded Windows
what could be the problem if this option did not work:
- If you did everything as I wrote, but nothing happens, then check the item in the same registry branch Userinit should contain only one entry: C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe, (we delete everything that is there)
- If it didn’t work again, then you need to compare the userinit.exe file on the infected computer with the file on the working computer, it happens that another modification of the virus replaced the userinit.exe and Explorer.exe files. You need to check from a computer on which the same operating system is installed (let's say Windows xp SP3 is on a computer that caught a virus and we compare files from a working computer on which Windows xp SP3 is also installed). In order for you to be in safe mode with command line support loaded desktop in the console (where you previously entered the regedit command), enter the command explorer, and then look for the userinit.exe files located in the C:\Windows\System32\ directory and compare the files by size and creation date.
- if all the same you realized that these files were substituted for you, then I solved this problem like this:
1) these two files could be taken from the C:\Windows\System32\dllcache directory, or if you have a windows disk from which this operating system was installed, then it is located there in the I386 folder (under the name userinit.ex_ or directly as there is userinit.exe)
2) replace the files and reboot the system.
I really hope that everything worked out for you through editing the registry and you didn’t have to dig with file replacements, there are just different situations and I immediately decided to describe all the methods.
3 option
If you caught an SMS banner extorting money "for viewing and replicating child pornography." This type of banner is fundamentally different from the one I described in Option 1, although the removal methods are partially similar.
banner text is:
Computer is locked
To remove the blocking, you need to pay a fine of 500 rubles to the Beeline phone number 89037310755. In case of payment of an amount equal to the fine or exceeding it, an unlock code will be printed on the fiscal receipt of the terminal. It must be entered in the field at the bottom of the window and click the "Unblock" button. After removing the block, you must remove all materials containing elements of violence and pedophilia. If the fine is not paid within 12 hours, all data on your personal computer will be permanently deleted, and the case will be referred to the court for trial under article 242 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Restarting or shutting down the computer will immediately delete ALL data, including operating system and BIOS code, and make it impossible to recover.
Removing this banner as I wrote above for the first option did not work, well, that's good, because this method is very easy and simple.
Leaders in antivirus products such as dr.web and Kaspersky quickly responded to this situation and provided users with their assistance in removing this modification of the banner virus from computers.
4 Option There is a variation of this muck that, after trying to self-medicate the computer, launches a second virus that overwrites the boot area of \u200b\u200bthe disk and after rebooting you will see the following text on the black screen:
Which Windows installation would you like to log onto(To cancel, press ENTER) and I type 1 (or see picture below)
Trojan.Winlock Protection Tips
How to protect yourself from Trojan.Winlock?!?
To protect against this problem, and indeed from problems in general with a computer, I can give a lot, but the most important ones that must be observed for maximum computer protection are:
- Licensed copy of Windows-It is desirable that you have the operating system installed on your computer without various third-party tweaks and add-ons, it is better to use a licensed copy disk on which there is nothing other than windows (i.e. those that are sold in stores).
- Antivirus- I take antiviruses very seriously and for all the years only one brand has been recommended for me, this is Kaspersky. Yes, he sometimes slows down the computer, but he also works out his cons with a vengeance!
- Do not download programs from unknown sites - cracks, activations, audio books, games and other garbage, people don’t bother starting to search by simply entering a query into Yandex or Google and clicking on all the buttons where it says "download". My advice and I have already taught myself and everyone else too, if you want to download something, then use torrents, I use rutracker or nnm-club there, at least half, you can be calm that the software is proven there.
Well, in the end, I will say that 90% of computer errors sit 50 cm from the monitor. Be vigilant and careful and you will never have problems. Good luck to everyone and write your questions if it was not possible to unlock windows, we will figure it out together.

It would not hurt any user of a personal computer to know how to unlock a computer if he forgot access passwords.
No special knowledge is required. After completing a simple algorithm of actions, in a few minutes it will be possible to work on your PC.
The password is required to protect private information from unauthorized persons. It does not allow you to log in by simply turning it on. However, if the code is lost or the system has been upgraded, then access to the data becomes impossible. Each version of Windows operates differently.
The Windows 7 operating system is the most popular among the rest. It is very convenient to use. And the process of gaining access to an account is also quite simple.
But if the user is unable to log into their account, then the following steps should be followed:
- You need to restart the PC, then, while holding the F8 key, call up the menu.
- Use the navigation keys to navigate to the "Safe Mode" line and press Enter.
- Wait for the operating system to load. Then select an account to log in under the name "Administrator" (a standard profile that is free from a password).
- The next step is to close the Safe Mode Help window and go to the "Control Panel" via the Start menu or some other way.
- Open "User Accounts", enter your personal profile and click on the item "Change password".
- In the field, enter a new combination of numbers and numbers, and then save by pressing the desired keys.
- After that, you need to restart your computer again and enter a new code in the appropriate field.
"Eight" is only gaining its popularity. To begin with, it is important to make sure that the computer is connected to the network, and during the whole process it is not recommended to pull the plug out of the socket.
To resume work on it with a lost password, you need to do the following.
- at the entrance you need to click on the power icon, which is located on the right;
- hold the Shift button;
- then - "Select action" in the menu that appears;
- go to "Diagnosis" by clicking on it with the mouse;
- then click "Return to original state" and go to the "Next" button;
- wait until the reboot is completed, the presence of a disk is mandatory, without it the action will not be completed;
- at the end, you must select the item "Just delete my files."
A flash drive will help you quickly access your computer. The main thing is to pre-write the file to the memory card and do several tasks:
- turn off the computer and insert a USB flash drive, turn on the computer;
- click on account
- type any combination of numbers and letters and press Enter, when the "Invalid username or password" window appears, you will be prompted to restore it;
- by clicking on the inscription, open the "Password Recovery Wizard";
- then click on the "Next" button, point to the required flash drive;
- click on "Next" again, enter a new password and select "Finish".
You can then log in with a new password.
In order for such a USB flash drive to be at hand, you need:
- Click on "Start", go to the "Control Panel".
- Select the "User Accounts" tab.
- Click on "Create a password reset disk".
- Simultaneously press the keys Ctrl, Alt, Del.
- Select the "Change password" section.
- Click on the required account and select "Create a password recovery disk".
- Insert the flash drive and click "Next" in the "Wizard".
- In the window that appears, select the USB flash drive device, then click "Next".
- After writing, the userkey.psw file will appear on the USB device. At the end of the operation, click "Next" and "Finish".
- Resume the system.
A flash drive is not the only way to fix problems. The file can be copied to the hard drive.
When performing these steps, it is important to be especially careful.
By following these instructions, it is easy to achieve the desired result.
Today we will learn how to unlock the Windows operating system.
One of the frequent problems of PC owners is the infection of their equipment with various kinds of viruses.
Today we will work with a ransomware virus.
This virus blocks Windows for financial gain.
1. The result of the activity of this virus is the appearance of a dialog box that informs us that Windows is blocked due to illegal actions of the PC owner on the Internet.
Attackers indicate the number of the mobile operator, mobile phone number and the amount by paying which you supposedly receive a "magic" code that unlocks your operating system.
Most importantly, DO NOT SEND MONEY into the hands of scammers. They cannot take possession, much less delete existing files.
Now we will tell you how to remove the lock in order to gain access to the OP and data stored on the PC.
We will perform this procedure without formatting and reinstalling Windows.
2. So, let's get started, you turned on the PC and the lock window immediately appeared.
Mouse cursor movement is limited to the code entry area.
Accordingly, the cursor is completely useless.
We will act with the help of "burning keys".
Press ctrl+alt+delete.
The system goes to the menu, but the cursor is again completely useless.
3. From the five menu items, select Logout.
We are logged out, the mouse arrow is now moving across the entire area of the screen.
4. Now our task is to create a new account.
We reboot the PC and when the system boots, press the F8 key.
Now we are offered download options.
Select safe mode with command line support.
5. Now we need to access the control panel to create a new account.
The system has booted up and the command line is available to us.
In the window, type Control Panel and press the Enter key.
6. Now we have access to the control panel.
7. Create a new account with administrator rights and call it Admin.
Of course, by creating a new account, we do not solve the problem of blocking the PC, we just get alternative access to the system.
We reboot the PC, also using the F8 key.
We boot the PC in normal mode.
8. In the dialog box, there are now two accounts, we log in using the Admin account.
9. We got access to the operating system, files.
Now we need to install a free antivirus program (we install Avast) that will detect infected files and safely cure them.
10. We also download the CCleaner program, it will remove garbage from the PC and put things in order.
We launch and install the downloaded antivirus program and the CCleaner program.
We check the laptop and cure it of infected files.
After that, we will restart the laptop, log into the first account.
And we can delete the Admin account, it will no longer be useful to you.
For other ways to cure a PC from ransomware viruses, see the following videos.
You will receive more detailed instructions in the video instructions below:
There is a situation when the computer is locked, and the user cannot guess the password for the account. This state of affairs is rare, but memory is unpredictable, and the operating system cannot directly tell us (except for a user hint, if one was created in advance).
Naturally, to enter the system, you will need to reset or change the account password, since it is not possible to remember! To describe, let's take the average case when other reasons do not interfere with actions, and the standard Windows installation favors a successful outcome.
Unlock the computer
Or just "accounts", a rather useful thing, but having forgotten or lost the cherished combination, it is impossible to enter the system, both for outsiders and for you personally. Well, if no changes were made regarding the accounts, then it will take a few minutes to restore the login.
- We restart the computer, and after the BIOS picture (), press the "F8" key to call the boot menu.
- Use the navigation keys to move to the line "Safe Mode" and press "Enter".
- We are waiting for the operating system to load. We choose to enter the "account" under the name "Administrator" (a standard profile free from a password).
- We close the help window about safe mode and go to the "Control Panel" through the "Start menu" or in a way convenient for you.
- Open the "User Accounts" section. Go to your personal profile and click "change password".
- In the field, enter a new combination of characters and save by pressing the appropriate button (if the input field is left empty, the password will be reset).
- After manipulating the password, reboot. Now it remains to enter a new password (if one has been set) and log in to Windows.
Note! If your profile is the only account, then the above steps will be powerless. But there is always another solution, for example, try it, this method was discussed earlier and will require a Windows boot disk.
Instead of an afterword
As you understand, a banal case will require a minimum amount of time, but there is a way out for solving non-standard situations. So don't go to extremes and try to avoid making changes to the "accounts" section.
Quite often, the user is faced with the problem of freezing and stopping the computer from viruses? In order to unlock your computer from a virus, you need to send an SMS message with the text XXX to the UUU number.
Since 2009, such messages have been increasingly haunting Russian Internet users. As a result, many people think about how to unlock a computer without SMS and is it real?
How does a computer become infected with such viruses? A computer is infected with an SMS virus through the global Internet and in most cases through the fault of the users themselves. Basically, computer infection occurs under the guise of installing certain software or opening a picture. For example, the attacker's site has a video that can be viewed by downloading codecs from this site. After the codec is launched, the computer is infected. As a result, having got on the user's computer, the SMS virus blocks it and displays the following types of messages:
The Windows operating system is locked. In order to remove the blocking, you need to send an SMS with the text XXX to the UUU number;
Send a message to the UUU number with the text XXX, otherwise Windows will be deleted;
To restore the correct functioning of the computer, send a message to the UUU number with the text XXX.
In the end, the virus asks to send a message to a short paid number. The cost of such a message can be very different, usually the amount varies from 10 to 200 rubles. However, do not trust the attacker. In reality, a person will give a much larger amount for a message than indicated on the screen. Here are the most common short numbers to which an attacker asks to send a message: 1350, 3649, 4460, 9691, 9800, and many others.
Since November 2009, new versions of SMS viruses appear on the Internet almost every day. The most interesting thing is that even those users who have any types of antiviruses with fresh update databases on their computer cannot resist such viruses: Kaspersky antivirus, Dr.Web, Avast, Nod32 and others. And yet, how to unlock the computer? Only special services for unlocking your computer, which are updated every day, can help in these situations. Despite the fact that SMS viruses are so common, the epidemic is taking on a localized character. In other words, in America, China or other European countries, users are not aware of such a problem. The main reason is that any person in our country can buy short SMS numbers. Why don't short link operators do anything against extortionists? According to these people, they have absolutely no control over the final collectors of SMS bribes. Operators sell such a service as a "short number" through affiliated structures, but they are not responsible for anything else.
For an SMS virus, it is not enough to simply block the Windows operating system. He still needs to get frightened users to send a message to a certain short number, and in this case, a wide variety of methods are used.
The first method is the most "impudent". The user is informed directly that his computer is infected with a virus. For maximum effect, the creator of the virus starts a reverse timer, giving a person only a certain amount of time to think, that is, creating some pressure. Unlock a personal computer, while removing the virus, you can send a message somewhere in the air. The method is the most direct.
Most likely, the first way to extort money is not profitable enough, so the attacker is actively using a creative approach. Another way of extortion is already putting pressure on the guilt of the computer user. That is, a person does not feel like a victim of the situation, but he himself is to blame for his theft. Such a virus can scare the user with the following message content: “Your operating system is blocked because you are using unlicensed software on your computer” or “An unlicensed version of Windows is installed on this computer. The computer is locked. In order to unlock the computer, you should send an SMS to a specific number. For greater effect, a message hangs at the bottom of the screen that the computer is locked at the initiative of Microsoft.
Of course, an experienced computer user is unlikely to believe that a pirated version of Windows can be unlocked for 150 rubles, while a licensed one costs $100. However, what about novice users? These people basically choose the easier way, that is, they pay for an SMS message. Sometimes the message says that you can unlock the computer through the terminal.
So, how to unlock a computer without paying? To date, you can remove the SMS virus very quickly. For example, you can completely rewrite the text of an enemy message with the number to which it should be sent. The next step is to use a friend's computer to enter the Internet, namely to a special Kaspersky service and receive an unlock code from them. By the way, unlocking is absolutely free. How to unlock a computer from a banner? You can ask a friend over the phone to go to the Kaspersky service and send you a code that you will enter directly on your computer. This method will take no more than five minutes.
What are the free services for unlocking computers from viruses? The most common service is Kaspersky antivirus. You need to enter the following page: http://support.kaspersky.ru/viruses/deblocker. Then you should enter the phone number that is indicated in the enemy message and the text of the message itself. Then you need to click "Get unlock code" and get the code itself.
If you have failed with the Kaspersky service, you can always use the services of the free Dr.Web service. Here, similarly, you need to go to a certain site wanderer: http://www.drweb.com/unlocker/index and decide which unlocking mechanism to use. In total, Dr.Web offers three different methods for unlocking your computer.
It should be remembered that no matter how fast viruses spread, the main protection against them is the installation of an antivirus. If there is no antivirus on the computer, then there is always a threat of infection. Now it is not necessary to buy an antivirus, there are a lot of free antiviruses that you can download absolutely free of charge.
Now there are a huge number of blocking banners, some of which virus computer blocked top up MTS account. Plus, new types of computer blocking appear daily, the damage from them is estimated in the millions. Most modifications have become more difficult to deactivate and do not contain the correct PC unlock code at all.
The computer is blocked by a virus, what to do? Unfortunately, none of us are 100% immune from this. Such a curiosity often happens not only to you, it can happen to anyone. The situation is not pleasant when the window appears your computer is blocked for viewing or copying video materials containing scenes of pedophilia and violence. And in case of non-payment of a fine of 1000, 2000 rubles, or even more, all data will be deleted.
The blue screen virus computer is blocked for watching porn is not displayed in the background, it is not removed by the antivirus, and booting in safe mode does not work. Because of blocked the computer, they ask to send SMS, many programs do not start - nothing can be done except to enter the code to pay the fine, but for this you need to send SMS or replenish your Beeline, MTS account.
For maximum convenience, hackers describe in more detail the fine payment scheme on the splash screen to get the computer unlock code. The amount of the fine is sometimes very different, SMS messages for unlocking have risen in price significantly up to 3000 rubles. At one time it was money transfer via WebMoney or Yandex Money. Where, having filled out the current account indicated on the screen, you had to go to the nearest terminal and transfer money to the scammers from your card, and now the scammers have a softer scheme - this replenish mobile phone numbers in. However, even after such an operation, there is no guarantee that the numb computer will be unlocked. As a result, the frustrated user has no choice but to contact the computer service and call the computer wizard to the house.
If a locked computer was unlocked thanks to an SMS payment, then you are very lucky, as a rule, this does not lead to the desired effect. DO NOT TRANSFER MONEY TO VIRUS DEVELOPERS: THE SERVICES THEY OFFER ARE 99% FRAUD.
Computer blocked by a virus, how to unlock a computer from a banner
Remove computer locked via registry
Locked the computer, how to unlock the computer using system restore (system rollback)
As soon as the locked computer MTS number starts to turn on, press the key with a frequency of two clicks per second. Select the boot option we need, namely [Safe Mode].
After that, the computer starts downloading only the basic drivers necessary to start the operating system, it does not download anything else, so the download can go through and the computer is blocked without turning on the banner, send an SMS. Choose your account or administrator. A window pops up where Windows offers to enable System Restore immediately. To enable, click - [No], and the restoration of an earlier state of the computer starts automatically. Click [Next >]. If, for some reason, the recovery did not start, you can start it using: [Start] -> [All Programs] -> [Accessories] -> [System Tools] -> [System Restore]. You need to select the day when the system made a copy of itself, usually this day is highlighted in bold.
When you have chosen a day, you also need to select a restore point in the list, so click - [System checkpoint]. Click [Next>]. Confirm the selection of the control point by pressing [Next>]. It turns out that the computer boots the OS in the configuration it was a few days ago before the banner got on it and blocked the computer. Therefore, the OS should start already without a banner, although the beeline blocked computer virus itself may be present on the PC.
If you succeeded in this option even after the work done, the computer will turn on normally, that is, without a banner. Then you just need to immediately run the antivirus, update it and check the entire system completely.
HERE THERE IS AN IMPORTANT NUANCE: some banners can be obtained through a browser window - an Internet browser. Therefore, when you turn on the PC after the update, if your favorite browser prompts you to update the session, then in no case restore the session. There are viruses, after which you need to unblock sites on your computer.
How to remove a virus the computer is locked through the BIOS system by changing the system date
To enter BIOS Setup, use the method that your computer suggests. The keys (for laptops) and (for desktop PCs) are commonly used. But there are exceptions, for some motherboards there may be keys: , as well as a key combination: , . For Samsung laptop models usually. Once you have entered the BIOS, you must go to the tab that interests us.
The first page shows: System Time(system time) and System Data(system date). To navigate through the BIOS, use the cursor keys. If you look at the bottom of the screen, you'll see a small hint indicating which keys you can use. So, in the menu, by placing the cursor in the desired position using the [+/-] keys, we change the system date, for example, a month ago (you can try a month ahead). In general, you need to select a date before the inscription computer is blocked 1000 rubles. We exit the BIOS, having previously saved the changes made by pressing the key. If the key does not work, go to the tab, select the position, highlight and confirm the exit by pressing the key. The computer restarts automatically, the PC locked banner should disappear.
If this method does not work, then your computer is blocked with a new modification of the virus. Try the computer unlock code from the banner using the computer unlock services Kaspersky, Doctor Web and NOD32. And the method of how to unlock VKontakte on a computer is described.

Surely, you have heard, and maybe even got into such a situation when, after downloading a file or visiting a dubious site on the Internet.
The PC suddenly became uncontrollable and a banner appeared with the requirement to enter a code in order to unlock the computer, which can be obtained by sending SMS or replenishing the account of the specified phone for a certain amount.
What to do in this case? Submit to extortionists or is there still a chance to somehow unlock the computer without SMS? Let's look at several options for our actions in order not to become a "cash cow" for scammers.
After all, after replenishing the account, they will already know your phone number and most likely will be able to log in with your mobile operator. This means that it will not be difficult for them to withdraw money from your phone. But let's not despair and first try to deal with the problem on our own. So how?
Trying to unlock from the banner through the task manager
This is one of the simplest methods. Who knows, maybe the scammers are not so literate and are just bluffing? So, we call the task manager and remove the task performed by our browser. To do this, press the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys at the same time (we do not press the plus signs, of course). Then, in the window that opens, click "Start Dispatcher":
This window may have different views, depending on the operating system, but I hope the essence is clear. Next comes the task manager. This is where we have to remove the task of our browser. We click on the line with the browser and then on the button “End task”:
By the way, this method is applicable both for this and for any other task. To close a frozen program, for example. I must say that it is not always possible to do this on the first try, sometimes the task manager window blinks and disappears again.
In such cases, it happens that pressing again helps Ctrl+Alt+Del and repeated, and up to 10 times in a row! More than that probably doesn't make sense. It turned out - well. No - let's move on.
Trying to unlock the computer through the registry
Now we try the next option - more difficult. We put the cursor in the code entry field, press Ctrl + Alt + Del and carefully look at the banner.
Of course, it will not necessarily be the same as mine, but the offer to send SMS or replenish the number and the line for entering the code or password must be present. If, as a result of our actions, the cursor disappeared, then the attention of the keyboard switched to the task manager:
Now you can press Tab, and then Enter, and an empty desktop should open in front of you, most likely even without “Start”. If this happened, now in order to “unblock our prisoner” you need to go to the registry, since viruses are usually registered there.
Click Ctrl+Alt+Del. Then "Start Task Manager". In the new window that appears - “File”, then in the drop-down menu “New task (Run ...)”:
In the following, we write the command “regedit” and then click “OK”:
The “Run” command can be called even easier if, of course, it turns out - by pressing the Win + R buttons on the keyboard. For those who don't know, Win is the Windows picture key, usually at the bottom left end of the keyboard.
If everything worked out, we will find ourselves in the registry editor. Here, be very careful and cautious. Don't touch anything else. Because wrong actions can lead to unpleasant, and sometimes unpredictable consequences in the computer.
So we need to get here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon. I will show you two windows so that it is clear where and what to press to carry out this undertaking.
In the first window, find the line with the inscription “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” and click on the triangle to the left of it:
The list under this line will expand. There you need to find the line “SOFTWARE” and also click on the triangle:
Do not be afraid, the lists there are very large, do not forget about the lower slider - move it to see the inscriptions in full.
When you reach Winlogon in this way, you no longer click on the triangle on the left, but on the word “Winlogon” itself. Then move your gaze to the right panel, where you will need to check the parameters: “Shell” and “Userinit” (If it’s hard to see, click on the picture - it will enlarge):
We look at the Shell parameter - its value is only “explorer.exe”. Userinit" should look like this: "C:\WINDOW\Ssystem32\userinit.exe," .
Please note that there is a comma at the end after “exe”! If there are any other values, then we correct them to the ones indicated above. To do this, just click on "Shell" or "Userinit" with the right mouse button, click "Edit", write the desired value in the pop-up window.
This, I think, will not cause you much difficulty.
Final work and actions in case of failure
In some cases, it happens that these parameters are in order. Then we find the following section: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows NT / CurrentVersion / Image File Execution Options and deploy it. If there is a subsection explorer.exe, delete it without regret. Well, we did everything in order to unlock our “prisoner”.
Now you can restart your computer. If the virus is no more insidious, everything should return to its place. If so, then we can laugh at grief - SMS - extortionists. And of course, after all the work done, be sure to perform a full antivirus scan. Yes, and a cleaner before this does not hurt to walk - like CCleaner.
If all else fails or if you do not dare to do the steps described above, contact a specialist. But don't send SMS anyway. You can also find other methods of unlocking from the Trojan Winlock Virus on the VirusStop website or on the Kaspersky website.
That's all. Now you know how to unlock a computer without SMS. But it would be better if you never needed to do this, at least on your computer.
It would not hurt any user of a personal computer to know how to unlock a computer if he forgot access passwords.
No special knowledge is required. After completing a simple algorithm of actions, in a few minutes it will be possible to work on your PC.
How to restore access in windows 7 and windows 8?
The password is required to protect private information from unauthorized persons. It does not allow you to log in by simply turning it on. However, if the code is lost or the system has been upgraded, then access to the data becomes impossible. Each version of windows operating system operates differently.

How to unlock your computer if you forgot your password
Admin 26.08.2014 - 16:09 Workshop
There is a situation when the computer is locked, and the user cannot guess the password for the account. This state of affairs is rare, but memory is unpredictable, and the operating system cannot directly tell us (except for a user hint, if one was created in advance).
Naturally, to enter the system, you will need to reset or change the account password, since it is not possible to remember! To describe, let's take the average case when other reasons do not interfere with actions, and the standard installation of windows favors a successful outcome.
Unlock the computer
The account password or simply "accounts" is quite a useful thing, but forgetting or losing the cherished combination, it is impossible to enter the system, both for outsiders and for you personally. Well, if no changes were made regarding the accounts, then it will take a few minutes to restore the login.
- We restart the computer, and after the BIOS picture (BIOS), press the “F8” key to call the boot menu.
- Use the navigation keys to move to the line "Safe Mode" and press "Enter".
- We are waiting for the operating system to load. We choose to enter the "account" under the name "Administrator" (a standard profile free from a password).
- We close the help window about safe mode and go to the "Control Panel" through the "Start menu" or in a way convenient for you.
- Open the "User Accounts" section. Go to your personal profile and click "change password".
- In the field, enter a new combination of characters and save by pressing the appropriate button (if the input field is left empty, the password will be reset).
- After manipulating the password, reboot. Now it remains to enter a new password (if one has been set) and log in to windows.
Note! If your profile is the only account, then the above steps will be powerless. But there is always another solution, for example, try to restore access through the command line, this method was discussed earlier and will require a windows boot disk.
P.S.
As you understand, a banal case will require a minimum amount of time, but there is a way out for solving non-standard situations. So don't go to extremes and try to avoid making changes to the "accounts" section.

What to do if you forgot your windows 7 password?
There are situations when, thinking about protecting your computer, and along with it the information on the hard drive, a person comes up with a complex and at the same time reliable password to enter windows. All this is certainly good, but a complex password can be forgotten in a completely random way.
What to do if you forgot your windows 7 password?
Especially often, such a negative situation can arise at a time when access to a computer is very necessary and the question immediately arises: what to do if you forgot your windows 7 password? Although this is not a pleasant situation, there is a solution and we will consider it using the example of windows 7.
To solve the problem, you need to be a little hacker, although you don’t have to do anything special, and to reset the password, we need a bootable or otherwise windows 7 installation disk, a bootable USB flash drive is also suitable.
Using the windows 7 boot disk
Media from which you can install windows will be required to try to recover your login password. Next, you will need to boot the computer from the boot disk through the boot menu - usually the keys are used when starting the computer: or, or, or, different manufacturers of computer components use different versions for the bootloader, and in our example it is a key. You can also boot from the disk, of course, in a slightly more complicated way by making settings in the BIOS.
my response Peri- and post-natal development studies in which female rats received subcutaneous injections of cidofovir once daily at doses.
The next window, just the one that is needed to recover a forgotten password in windows 7, is selected and here the fun begins.
The next window will appear System Recovery Options, where we look at the letter of the system drive, which will be very useful further.
We press and on the display of a monitor or laptop, which is not at all important, the System Recovery Options window will appear, and there will already be quite a few options, but you need to choose from all the variety.
Using Command Prompt to Recover Forgotten Windows Password
The windows command line will be required to make some adjustments to the operating system. A problem may immediately arise, although by default on most computers windows is installed exactly on the disk, here your system disk will have a completely different partition letter, you will have to work a little if you do not remember the partition letter specified earlier in the System Recovery Options and find the correct letter disk.
To search for the drive letter we need to recover the password, enter the command in the command line:
Bcdedit | find "osdevice"
To which you will immediately receive an answer:
Partition=D
In the example, it was the drive that was the system drive, but you may have a different letter, usually this. In subsequent steps, you will need to use the resulting partition letter. Proceeding to the next step of recovering a forgotten password, you need to enter on the command line:
Copy d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe d:\
Where is the letter of your drive, and after pressing the key, confirmation of copying the file will be received, then you need to enter in the line:
Copy d:\windows\system32\cmd.exe d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
We press again and a prompt will appear to enter YES (yes) or NO (no), enter and a new confirmation of file copying appears. For information: a backup copy of the sticky keys utility was made, and then it was replaced with the command line.
Toxicities that occurred with greater severity or frequency in previously Order Scopolamine (Transderm Scop) prescription without review One patient died one month post treatment and two patients recovered without further sequelae.
Recovering a forgotten password turns into replacing it
Now we remove the bootable DVD, possibly USB, depending on what was used and restart the computer. After the password entry screen appears, you need to press the key 5 times in quick succession - this will bring up the command line. In the hint field, enter Net User, followed by the username you used earlier and the desired password. You can remind yourself of the username on the windows login screen.
For example, your login name is Cyber, and your desired password is Engine, you would enter:
Net User Cyber Engine
After clicking, your account name will remain the same, and the password is changed to the recently entered one and now you can safely log into windows 7.
Previously, the operation that was performed on the command line was needed to get a backup copy of the sethc.exe sticky keys utility and replace it with cmd.exe, and now after entering windows and restarting it, again using the command line, you need to return the file back. To do this, we boot from the boot disk again and repeat our steps up to the command line, in which you need to enter:
Copy c:\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
You can check the effectiveness of the operation on the screen for entering the log and password by pressing 5 times, instead of the command line we get sticky keys.
In fact, this step is optional and can be skipped.
This command was the last and now you can help not only yourself, but also a friend who accidentally forgot his windows 7 password and does not know what to do now.

What to do if you forgot your user login password
I am often approached with such questions: “what to do if I forgot my windows password”, “how to unlock my password”, “how to reset my windows password”, etc. Today I will tell you how to get out of the situation if one of the computer users forgot the password to enter the system. And also, what to do if the computer administrator forgot the password.
In the event that one of the computer users forgot the password, the administrator can easily reset it and recreate it. But what if the administrator himself forgot the password? Let's consider all cases in order.
Situation one: One of the computers on the network has at least two accounts: a user account and your administrator account.
If the user has forgotten the password, then you log into the system under your account. Then on the desktop, right-click on the "My Computer" icon and select "Manage": 
Next, expand the “Utilities” section and select “Local Users and Groups”. Click here on the Users folder and all the accounts that exist on the computer will be displayed in the right window. Right-click on the name of your forgetful user and select "Set Password": 
A warning window will appear - click "Continue": 
You can then set a new password for the user. If you leave the fields empty here and click “OK”, the password will be empty: 
After that, you can restart the computer and the user will log in with a new password.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Situation two: You do not remember your administrator password, or you are the only user of the computer (but again, do not remember the password).
In this case, we need to log in using the Administrator account built into windows. Most ordinary users are not even aware of the existence of such. This account is not password protected by default.
You can log in as Administrator either through the classic login window, or in Safe Mode.
The classic window is called in the following way: after turning on the computer, being on the welcome page, press the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination twice. In the classic login window, manually enter the name Administrator (in some cases Administrator) - click “OK”.
To enter Safe Mode: After turning on the computer, press and hold the F8 key on your keyboard. Then select "Safe Mode" and press Enter. In the next window, in addition to your account (or records), the Administrator account will be displayed - log in under it.
Personally, I prefer to log in through the classic login window: it's more convenient and faster. In addition, on some computers, the keyboard and mouse refuse to work in Safe Mode, so even once in this mode, nothing can be done there.
Regardless of how you logged into the Administrator account, then we do the same thing that I have already described above. Namely: find the “My Computer” icon on the desktop and right-click on it - select the “Manage” item.
Next, expand the “Utilities” section and select “Local Users and Groups”. Click here on the Users folder and all the accounts that exist on the computer will be displayed in the right window.
Right-click on your account name and select Set Password. A warning window will appear - click "Continue". You can then set a new password for the user. If you leave the fields empty here and click “OK”, the password will be empty. After that, you can restart your computer and log in with a new password.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Situation three: But what should we do if the built-in Administrator account has a password and it is unknown to us? Is it possible to reinstall windows? Of course not! We can solve this problem if we use the ERD Commander emergency recovery boot disk.
You can download the archive with the image of this disk designed to restore windows XP here. After that, burn the image to a CD or DVD (for example, through Alcohol 120%). Then insert the burnt disc into the computer drive and configure the BIOS to boot from it.
During the boot you will see the following on the screen: Then, when starting up, ERD Commander will try to detect and configure network cards - skip this operation by clicking the “Skip Network Configuration” button: Next, you need to connect to your operating system. To do this, select the windows system folder and click “OK”: 
We are waiting for the download to finish (from a CD, it, of course, is slower than from a hard drive). After a while, we will see a desktop on the screen, which is almost no different from the usual windows XP desktop: 
Go to "Start" - select the section "System Tools" - "Locksmith": 
The Locksmith utility (Password Change Wizard) allows you to change passwords for administrator and user accounts.
In the welcome window that appears, click “Next”.
In the next window, in the “Account” field, select the account from which you forgot the password. In the “New Password” and “Confirm Password” fields, enter a new password. 
Click the "Next" button. In the last window, click the “Finish” button and restart your computer. Don't forget to reset the BIOS to boot from the hard drive. That's all! You will now be able to log in with your account with the new password.
ATTENTION: If none of the suggested methods helped you, then read my new article “How to easily reset a forgotten password in any version of windows”. There I described in detail how you can remove the user password in windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and XP.

What can you do if you forgot your password on your computer?
Everyone can forget the password for windows 7 or windows 8. Fortunately, its restoration does not require specific skills and abilities. With due care, in a few minutes you will be able to unlock your computer.
All modern operating systems are password protected, no matter what computer you have. It is necessary to prevent unauthorized people from using your personal device. The password does not allow opening the system by simply turning on the PC. But perhaps you forgot this password and don't know what to do. This may happen unconsciously, or perhaps you recently installed a new OS and have not yet had time to remember the password automatically. How can I remove a lock that prevents me from logging in?
If you have a computer running windows 7 or windows 8 operating system, then the password recovery process will not take you much time. Sometimes, in order to unlock the computer, you may need the installation disk from which you installed the operating system. Often, without such a disk, it is impossible to recover a password. So, what to do if you forgot your computer password?
Password recovery on windows 8
To enter a computer running on windows 8, you do not need to reinstall the operating system. Do the following:
- Make sure that the PC is connected to the network, it cannot be turned off while you are resetting the password;
- When you enter windows 8, click on the power icon (located in the lower right corner);
- Press the "Shift" key and do not release;
- From the menu that opens, select the "Reboot" item, the "Select action" window will open;
- You must enter the "Diagnostics" by clicking on it with the mouse;
- Click on the line "Return to original state";
- Click "Next";
- Wait for the Windows 8 system to recover. If the device does not have an installation disk, the system will ask you to insert it, otherwise the recovery will not complete;
- Then "Just delete my files" will appear. You must select this item.
If everything is done correctly, then the Windows 8 computer will return to its original state and you can create a new user. However, it should be borne in mind that all data from your PC will be deleted, without the possibility of recovery. Therefore, you first need to back up files to an external storage medium.
Password recovery on windows 7
The user, if he forgot the password on the computer, can log into the computer on windows 7 in two ways: unlock the system using the windows 7 installation disk and save the password on a USB flash drive (or any other external media).
Using the windows 7 installation disc
Do the following:
- The computer must be turned on;
- Then insert a disk;
- When it boots up, click on System Restore, a new window will open;
- Select the OS for which you forgot the password (if more than one OS is installed);
- Click "Next", the following window will open;
- Select "Command Prompt";
- Type "regedit" and press Enter to go to the registry;
- In the editor, select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE";
- Open the "File" menu;
- Click "Load hive...", a new window will appear;
- Go to C:windowssystem32config and double-click on "system" with the left mouse button;
- Come up with a name for the new branch;
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, open this branch;
- Highlight "setup";
- Right-click on the "SetupType" item, then "Change ...", the following window will appear;
- In the line "Value" press 2, then "OK";
- In the registry, right-click on "CmdLine", then "Change ...";
- In the line "Value" enter "cmd.exe", then "OK";
- Exit the registry editor, start it again;
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
- Select the created branch, then "File" - "Unload hive ...";
- After closing all windows, reboot the system. When rebooting, remove the installation disk;
- When the computer turns on, a command prompt will appear. Write in it “ net user name of the created branch password" (for example, "net user Vasily Administrator 2222");
- Then click Enter;
- Close the window, when Windows 7 starts, enter the password. Now you should be able to log in.
Flash drive for password
If users of windows 7 OS have forgotten the password, it is possible to log into the system and unlock the password using the special function of creating a flash drive. To create such a flash drive.
Trojans from the Winlock family, known as "Windows blockers", have been used to extort money from ordinary users for more than five years. By now, representatives of this class of malware have seriously evolved and have become one of the most common problems. Below are ways to deal with them yourself and recommendations for preventing infection.
The appearance of a Trojan in the system usually occurs quickly and unnoticed by the user. A person performs a familiar set of actions, browses the web and does not do anything special. At some point, a full-screen banner simply appears, which cannot be removed in the usual way.
The picture can be frankly pornographic, or vice versa - framed as strictly and menacingly as possible. There is only one result: in a message located on top of other windows, you need to transfer the specified amount to such and such a number or send a paid SMS message. It is often accompanied by threats of criminal prosecution or the destruction of all data if the user does not hurry up with the payment.
Of course, you should not pay extortionists. Instead, you can find out which mobile operator the specified number belongs to and report it to the security service. In some cases, they can even tell you the unlock code over the phone, but you can’t count on it very much.
Treatment methods are based on understanding the changes that the Trojan makes to the system. It remains to identify them and cancel them in any convenient way.
With bare hands
Some Trojans do have an unlock code. In rare cases, they even honestly delete themselves completely after entering the correct code. You can find it on the relevant sections of the websites of antivirus companies - see examples below.
You can access specialized sections of Doctor Web, Kaspersky Lab, and other anti-virus software developers from another computer or phone.
After unlocking, do not rejoice prematurely and do not turn off the computer. Download any free antivirus and run a full system scan. To do this, use, for example, Dr.Web CureIt! or Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool.
Simple horses - simple measures
Before using complex methods and special software, try to get by with the available tools. Call the task manager with the key combination (CTRL)+(ALT)+(DEL) or (CTRL)+(SHIFT)+(ESC). If it worked out, then we are dealing with a primitive Trojan, the fight against which will not cause problems. Find it in the list of processes and force quit.
The foreign process produces an indistinct name and no description. If in doubt, just unload all suspicious ones one by one until the banner disappears.
If the task manager does not appear, try using a third-party process manager through the "Run" command, launched by pressing the keys (Win) + (R). This is what a suspicious process looks like in System Explorer.
You can download the program from another computer or even from your phone. It takes only a couple of megabytes. The “check” link searches for information about the process in an online database, but usually everything is clear. After closing the banner, it is often necessary to restart the "Explorer" (explorer.exe process). In Task Manager, click: File -> New Task (Run) -> c:Windowsexplorer.exe.
When the Trojan is deactivated for the duration of the session, it remains to find its files and delete them. You can do this manually or use a free antivirus.
A typical location for a Trojan is the directories of temporary user, system, and browser files. It is still advisable to perform a full scan, since copies can be located anywhere, and trouble does not come alone. The free Autoruns utility will help you view the complete list of autorun objects.
Military stratagem
At the first stage, a peculiarity in the behavior of some standard programs will help to cope with the Trojan. When you see a banner, try blindly launching Notepad or WordPad. Press (WIN)+(R), type notepad and press (ENTER). A new text document will open below the banner. Dial any abracadabra and then briefly press the power off button on the system unit. All processes, including the Trojan, will begin to terminate, but the computer will not turn off.
Old school
More advanced versions of Trojans have tools to counter attempts to get rid of them. They block the launch of the task manager, replace other system components.
In this case, restart your computer and hold down the (F8) key while Windows loads. The download method selection window will appear. We need "Safe Mode with Command Prompt". After the console appears, write explorer and press (ENTER) - the explorer will start. Next, write regedit, press (ENTER) and see the registry editor. Here you can find the entries created by the trojan and find the place where it autoruns from.
Most often, you will see the full paths to the Trojan files in the Shell and Userinit keys in the
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
In "Shell" the Trojan is written instead of explorer.exe, and in "Userinit" it is indicated after a comma. Copy the full name of the Trojan file to the clipboard from the first entry found. In the command line, write del, make a space and right-click the context menu.
In it, select the command "insert" and press (ENTER). One Trojan file is removed, do the same for the second and subsequent ones.
Then we perform a search in the registry by the name of the Trojan file, carefully review all the entries found and delete suspicious ones. Empty all temporary folders and trash. Even if everything went perfectly, do not be too lazy to then perform a full scan with any antivirus.
If network connections stop working due to a Trojan, try restoring the Windows Sockets API settings using the AVZ utility.
Operation under anesthesia
It is useless to deal with cases of serious infection from under an infected system. It is more logical to boot from a known clean one and calmly cure the main one. There are dozens of ways to do this, but one of the easiest is to use the free Kaspersky WindowsUnlocker utility included with Kaspersky Rescue Disk. Like DrWeb LiveCD, it is based on Gentoo Linux. The image file can be written to a disc or made into a bootable flash drive using the Kaspersky USB Rescue Disk Maker utility.
Prudent users do this in advance, while the rest turn to friends or go to the nearest Internet cafe already at the time of infection.
When turning on the infected computer, hold down the key to enter the BIOS. Usually it is (DEL) or (F2) and the corresponding prompt is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Insert Kaspersky Rescue Disk or bootable flash drive. In the Boot options, select the optical drive or flash drive as the first boot device (sometimes it can be displayed in the HDD drop-down list). Save changes (F10) and exit BIOS.
Modern BIOS versions allow you to select a boot device on the fly, without entering the main settings. To do this, you need to press (F12), (F11) or a combination of keys - see the message on the screen, in the instructions for the motherboard or laptop for more details. After the reboot, Kaspersky Rescue Disk will start running.
The Russian language is available, and the treatment can be performed automatically or manually - step by step instructions on the developer's website.
Struggling early on
Trojans that infect the Master Boot Record (MBR) form a separate subclass. They appear before Windows loads, and you won't find them in the autorun sections.
The first step in dealing with them is to restore the original MBR code. In the case of XP, for this we boot from the Windows installation disk, by pressing the (R) key we call up the recovery console and write the fixmbr command in it. Confirm it with the key (Y) and reboot. For Windows 7, a similar utility is called BOOTREC.EXE, and the fixmbr command is passed as a parameter:
After these manipulations, the system boots again. You can start searching for copies of the Trojan and its means of delivery with any antivirus.
On a crusade with a Phillips screwdriver
On low-power computers and especially laptops, the fight against Trojans can be delayed, since loading from external devices is difficult, and the scan takes a very long time. In such cases, simply remove the infected hard drive and connect it to another computer for treatment. To do this, it is more convenient to use boxes with an eSATA or USB 3.0/2.0 interface.
In order not to spread the infection, we first disable autorun from the HDD on the "healing" computer (and it would not hurt from other types of media). It is most convenient to do this with the free AVZ utility, but it is better to perform the check itself with something else. Go to the "File" menu, select "Troubleshooting Wizard". Check "System problems", "All" and click "Start". After that, check the box "Allow autorun from HDD" and click "Fix flagged problems".
Also, before connecting an infected hard drive, you should make sure that resident anti-virus monitoring is running on the computer with adequate settings and that there are fresh databases.
If the partitions of the external hard drive are not visible, go to Disk Management. To do this, in the "Start" -> "Run" window, write diskmgmt.msc and then press (ENTER). Partitions on the external hard drive must be assigned letters. They can be added manually with the "change drive letter ..." command. After that, check the entire external hard drive.
To prevent re-infection, you should install any antivirus with a real-time monitoring component and follow the general security rules:
- try to work from an account with limited rights;
- use alternative browsers - most infections occur through Internet Explorer;
- disable Java scripts on unknown sites;
- disable autorun from removable media;
- install programs, add-ons and updates only from the official websites of developers;
- always pay attention to where the proposed link actually leads;
- block unwanted pop-ups with browser add-ons or standalone programs;
- install updates for browsers, general and system components in a timely manner;
- allocate a separate disk partition for the system, and store user files on another.
Following the last recommendation makes it possible to make small images of the system partition (using Symantec Ghost, Acronis True Image, Paragon Backup and Recovery, or at least the standard Windows Backup and Restore tool). They will help you to restore your computer in a matter of minutes, regardless of what it is infected with and whether antiviruses can detect a Trojan.
The article provides only basic methods and general information. If you are interested in the topic, visit the GreenFlash project website. On the pages of the forum you will find many interesting solutions and tips on creating a multiboot flash drive for all occasions.
The distribution of Winlock Trojans is not limited to Russia and neighboring countries. Their modifications exist in almost all languages, including Arabic. In addition to Windows, Mac OS X is also trying to infect with such Trojans. Linux users cannot experience the joy of defeating an insidious enemy. The architecture of this family of operating systems does not allow writing any efficient and versatile X-lock. However, you can also “play doctor” on a virtual machine with a Windows guest OS.
