But the first thing I would do is attempt to log on and observe.
Is your password rejected?
Is there an error message?
Does the exact error message point you to which operating system is responsible for logon security? (Try it and search online for the exact wording of the prompt)
Would this provide a clue as to minimum password length and character requirements?
Are you locked out after a certain number of attempts? Does this produce a new and therefore searchable error message or prompt?
Or... can you attempt to logon time after time, opening the possibility of brute-force break-in by an algorithmic bot?
Are there any common keyboard combinations (alt-F4, alt-ctrl-del, blah blah etc) or command-prompt style entries you can make that reveal system info?
Maybe someone who knows more can give you some juicy pointers. But imo any interface gives you the power to kick the tires again and again, and it will necessarily give you more information. Good luck!
Iām not a hacker either.
