LOL! watched the Star Wars movie! Awesome! Even better in Matrix green and black
How did you get the starwars one to work? Always says “doesnt recognize telnet”
It works fine using my internet connection. Run cmd then copy – paste the line and press Enter.
It’s due to you not having activated your telnet connection on your pc. While it comes on your PC you have to go in manually through your control panel and turn your telnet client ON. This will allow you to view said Star Wars video.
Pls if I want to shutdown a pc on my network, after typing the persons ip address it will tell me access denied and it will not shut the pc down what will I do?
Do you have access on that pc via network? Open CMD and type in shutdown /? to find available command list. You can use computer name to remote shutdown any pc. You need to find out the exact pc name. Then add that name to the list.
Here is an example: \\computername
Yeah, but if the computer u are using is not owned by you, the administrator could have made your access resctricted and you will not be able to use this command, i’m positive that it is this way at school, they already have the command prompt blocked at our school, so im sure that they realize that someone could get past it and try, so they have access denied for that too.
find your computers run file and type in cmd and it should pop up
How can u gain access when shutting down computers with “shutdown -i” every thing i have tried doesnt work wanting to mess with friends on school computers
I have the same problem! Access Denied! How do you get around this?
I have updated the post check it out.. it should work for remote shutdown access denied error.
Awesome! Works great! Thanks for your reply! But…the question is now..can you remotely change that User Rights??
would you be opposed to me suggesting some extra tricks?
for instance: finding computer names/IP addresses that could be used with (shutdown /i)
also: with windows XP, sending messages to other computers
and plenty more…. MuaHaHaHa.
how do you get peoples IP Addresses?
if you type in ip config /all it will or you can type in config /username of the victim and it should give you the ip
i tried it it won’t work dude
just type ping computername, just replace computername with the actual name.
the star wars movie wont let me watch it beacuse it says telnet is not on the network or somthing.
hi,
Where I can find the sloution for access denied error whiele shuting the remote pc??

How do you find there IP?
