Hello friends,

I have been a silent observer here for long. Yesterday a friend told me that she had lost her pin no and she couldnt remember it. Also in her Nov attempt her admit card was delivered after exams and she was worried about what to do now. I was randomly trying out a few numbers and then it struck me that with my lil programming skills I can automate the process, so I have made a tiny app that checks for all numbers between 0000-9999 ( both inclusive) for a given Reg no. I tried it on her registration no and it worked.

So all I wanted to say is that its possible to find out your pin if you have been careless enough to lose it.

Regards,

Mehul

Yes of course, I am aware of those options.

But just out of my curiosity and convenience I made this app :)

It worked well for two of friends , just tested for another one :)

Yeah..I have tried that for finding the BIOS password of my comp a few years back.. My damn bro ensured that I dont access the comp without his or my fathers permission(who also knew the pass).. I tried brute force only but since I was sure the pass would be 5+ alphanumeric. I didnt have the patience so I quit..Brings back memories..lol...Thanks again bro..
