1. Changing administrator password: You can change or modify administrator password in the command prompt. So you might be thinking “hey that’s not new, i can do that in the control panel”.

Yes you can but in the control panel, you will be asked to input the old password before changing. but with cmd, you can change it without putting the old password. To do that, open cmd as an administrator and type “net user” this will display all the user account in the system. Next type,“net user” space “the user account name” space “the new password”.

2. Creating an hotspot: You can shear your computer internet connection with other wi-fi devices by creating a hotspot or turning your laptop into a wifi-hotspot..

3. Systeminfo: With this command, you can get some nice information about your system. just type “system-info” e.g processor, memory, virtual ram.

4. hacking wifi password: This does not actually hack a WiFi-password, but it can help you get the password of any WiFi that was connected to your system.
