Given are come of the hacks I have used to get into a PC.Most of these stuffs I have tried successfully at one point of time.
1) To get through the BIOS password, open the cabinet and remove the BIOS battery from the case(it is the big button battery near to the bios) and reinsert it after some five minutes. This is done to discharge the residual power in the BIOS. Restart and you will be through the BIOS directly now.(PS: NOTE DOWN THE SETTINGS OF THE BIOS B4 DOING THIS.)
2) To get through XP password: This cannot exactly be called a hack, its more of taking advantage of the user’s carelessness. Here switch on XP in the safe mode and type LOGIN as ‘administrator’ and press enter for password. Now you can enter XP Safe Mode, now if u want to create a new user account go to CREATE USER and make a new account. This works most of the time because the user usually forgets to puts an administrative password while installing XP.
3) There are a couple of commands in DOS for refreshing the BIOS password. These stuff stuff works only on windows earlier than XP where direct DOS boot was allowed. Sorry I don’t remember any of the commands now.
4) Using LINUX live CD’s: This is one of the most efficient techniques I have come across. Here get one of those LINUX direct to boot Operating System (LIVE OS) CD and boot the Windows drive directly from the CD. The disadvantage here is that u wont be able to manipulate or change files, just reading and copying is allowed. I have done this using KNOPPIX live CD only. You can download them free online of can order for your own free UBUNTU LIVE CD here. https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ (I havent tried this yet using ubuntu but it ought to work.)
5) Use Keycopy software to copy all the keys typed in the PC including passwords. Plenty of them are available online for free.
6) Snadboy- A miracle software that converts the password written in ‘*’ into normal characters. This is very useful even though this does not work in HTML pages. Download it from here http://www.snadboy.com/
These are the only stuff I remember now, if anyone want to add any stuff to these please do leave a comment.
DISCLAIMER : I am not an hacker, I am just a overeager careless laymen who frequently forget his PC’s password and had to use these methods to retrieve them. Please dont use this info with malicious intend.

@PCM,
Maybe I missed your point, but what is your personal opinion – should non-hindus enter the temples or not ?
