It took basically 5 minutes to figure out how to bypass this check. However, Microsoft can change his server part of the check in order to block this.
Updated: Since this page become popular on search engine, I’m now include the procedures to bypass Windows Genuine Advantage check here.
Here’s the procedure as it works (28 July 2005):
1. Block the ActiveX execution.
2. Choose the alternate method and download the GenuineCheck.exe
3. Right-click this executable and go the compatibilty tab.
4. Set the compatibily mode to Windows 2000.
5. Run GenuineCheck.exe.
6. Paste the code returned in the Browser.
7. Your windows would now have been validatest and off you go.
You can download Windows Validation Tool (GenuineCheck.exe) from here.
Update: for new visitors, above trick is no longer work. Please read through the comment below and try suggested bypass steps from others. From now on, I’ll try to mirror all of the recommended files, so incase the original file has lost, you can still download it here. Note that I DIDN’T check the files personally, so make sure you scan it for viruses before you try it.

Steps to Hack into a Windows XP Computer without changing password:
You can also go to Passwords and select “Logon with wrong password and hash”. This option allows you to login with ANY password.
Note: If you are running any kind of Anti-Virus Tool it will give you a prompt saying that it is a Virus since they have already labelled this tool as a Hack-Tool. A Hack-Tool is NOT a virus. The DreamPackPL helps you bypass the Windows Login screen and it is not destructive.

Here are the steps involved to Hack the Window XP Administrator Password .
Wait its not over read the rest to find out how to Hack the Window XP Administrator Password
A Brief explanation of what you are currently doing here is
Your are nagivating to the windows system Directory where the system files are stored. Next your creating a temporary directory called mkdir. After which you are copying or backing up the logon.scr and cmd.exe files into the mkdir then you are deleting the logon.scr file and renaming cmd.exe file to logon.scr.
So basically you are telling windows is to backup the command program and the screen saver file. Then we edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, we will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command
net user password
Example: If the admin user name is clazh and you want change the password to pass Then type in the following command
net user clazh pass
This will chang the admin password to pass.
Thats it you have sucessfully hacked the Window XP Administrator Password now you can Log in, using the hacked Window XP Administrator Password and do whatever you want to do.
Here are the steps involved to De Hack or restore the Window XP Administrator Password to cover your tracks.
Or simply go to C:\windows\system32\temphack and copy the contents of temphack back into system32 directory click Yes to overwrite the modified files.
Note To administrators: You can block the entire password change thing just a little tweak in the local security policy (control panel->administrative tools,works only for administrators group) will disallow any change in password even if u r the Admin (u can put a number of other restrictions too), but be cautious to give other users limitted accounts. After you have done this, the above Screensaver technique will fail.
Update: Christian Mohn points out The Above method is is possible only if you have Local Administrator Privileges. My fault for not checking it up before posting.
Update: The above Method only works if the system is FAT/FAT32 - because of the updated “user rights management” in NTFS - file level rights etc. This does not work on a system using NTFS.

| Description The Windows XP Service Pack 2 (XP SP2) fixes a range of bugs in Windows XP. The file is a large download and can be applied to any version of Windows XP Home, Professional, TabletPC or Media Center. It doesn't matter what XP updates you have previously applied to your system, SP2 will update any unpatched, partially patched or completely updated system (it includes all previously released patches and updates). If you are going to reinstall the original release of Windows XP on a PC, it is important that you apply this Service Pack BEFORE connecting to the Web. Nasty viruses and worms like Sasser and Blaster can enter an unpatched system as soon as it is connected to the Web. They come through an open port on your system. You don't even have to receive email or go to a web site - just being connected is enough. XP SP2 fixes the security holes so you won't get attacked. The advantage of this full download is that it can be used on any system - plus it doesn't require an Internet connection to install. You can download SP2, burn it to CD and use it on multiple PCs. Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) provides enhanced security measures that will hopefully improve defences against viruses, worms and hackers, along with increased manageability and an improved experience for users. In addition to security and bug fixes, it will change many default settings to improve security, but it may also create some problems:
